If Your Full Potential Brings Him Glory, What’s Holding You Back?
Maybe writing words isn’t your thing. But however you’re living your life, you should consider that you’re continuing His story. We’re all writing something whether you know it or not.

What’s in the Cards for You in 2021?
I’m approaching 2021 as I would the card game: Twenty One. God is my dealer, and I’m asking Him to “hit me” with additional cards to give me a winning hand. Maybe you want to play too?
