By Marcia Rotella – Through the automatic doors and into the lavish chair I lose myself in the cherished tranquility of the morning, and this morning finds me in a public library. Before long, I notice I could hear silence again–so longed for, precious and rare–an island of sorts. I
By Peggy W. Lester – The gentleman had squandered his younger life on alcohol before coming to know the Lord because of a terrible tractor accident. At that time, he prayed a desperate prayer, “God save me and I’ll serve you the rest of my life!” God heard his prayer
By Carol Doyel – We often hear people talk about their “desert time” or they’ll say “I’m in a dry season”, often referring to them as one in the same. But are they the same? What does the Bible say about the desert and what is the difference between a desert
By Deborah Turton – My phone rings, it’s my sister. I have only spoken to her twice in the past 4 years and she does not have good news. She tells me that her doctor’s office called two days ago and she will be in the hospital tomorrow for a
By Shari Johnson – Rest does not come easy for me. Sleep comes easy, rest; not so much. I fall asleep somewhere between pulling back the covers and laying my head down. Seriously! It is a rarity that sleep evades me, but I seldom rest. Not long after I fall
By Vonda Skelton – You may not believe this, but I know it for a fact: God talks on the telephone. Many years ago, I was putting together a talk on having a gentle spirit. As usual, I searched my concordance for appropriate verses and found many that applied to
By Laura Petherbridge – Angela knew she needed to forgive Leslie but she didn’t know how. After all, Leslie had betrayed their friendship by sharing conversations that were meant to stay private. It wasn’t the first time she caught Leslie gossiping. But Angela knew that if she didn’t get rid

By Leona Salazar – I admit it. I hate change. Well, some change. Not all change. I didn’t mind when carbon paper became obsolete and photocopiers were available everywhere. Try typing a 10-page Will with three carbons and no typos. It was a secretary’s nightmare. I didn’t mind giving up
