Say it isn't so. It's so. Grammarly is a great little grammar checker website. It's made for English-challenged writers like myself. They did the research. I used to like Grammarly. The facts then. They did a survey of about 3000 people. 54% were men. 59% of those surveyed thought women were better writers. The men …
I've never been one of those people who had a "life verse." There are 31,102 verses in the Bible. Do you really think God has just one for you to live your life by? I never thought so. Until now. Something special happened when I read this verse. It jumped off the page and into …
The Good – Author Joel Rosenberg knows how to write! As always when reading one of Joel’s books, I get upset at every text message, phone call – even loving interruptions.

A good friend of mine, Chad Barrett, lost his daughter to cancer last year. He has been expressing his pain, and the grace God keeps pouring out to endure it, on social media. I've been learning and praying with each post. However the last one had a new twist that I thought needed to be …
The Good: The book. It’s just flat good. I was surprised - shocked maybe. Melinda is a first time author, published by the small Rebelight Publishing. I should have known better.
