Lost But Not Forgotten

Lost But Not Forgotten Many years ago God put a desire into my heart to write encouraging stories which spoke of His loving-kindness so that others would want to experience His goodness. At first, I believed the dream was from Him because it glorified God and I could feel an agreement of my desires by the leading of the precious Holy Spirit. But I was too new in my walk with God to have absolute certainty that he was speaking to me. I guess now when I look back on it, since I have a popular blog, written two books, and have almost finished with writing book one of my fantasy series, I am sure it was Him. My story reminds me of the story of Joseph in the Bible; he had a dream. Genesis 37:5-8 “And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, a...

A Jesus Christmas We have snow in Vancouver, and it is awesome and breathtaking, but I tell you it takes a lot of courage and faith to drive on those roads. Poor distracted drivers are one of pet peeves because they don't seem to understand the power they have when they wield that big pile of metal. Working part time in insurance, I know there has been a lot of accidents on the road since it started snowing, just because people in the area aren’t prepared for snow and are careless driving too fast attempting to make the same maneuvers they did when the roads were dry. Oh, yes you see them talking on their cell phones, when it is illegal to do so, driving cars with bald tires, and sometimes putting on makeup. They don't seem to conceptualize that one sudden change in the flow of traffic such as the car slowing in front of them, could lead to deadly situations on the icy roads. These people are noticeably unprepared for any sudden changes and, like most people, they trust tha...
