Originally posted on Stephen Carver: In addition to writing and teaching, one of the things I do for a living is to evaluate manuscripts for their suitability for publication. I read fiction (and non-fiction) across several genres, and write comprehensive reports on the books. I try always to guide the author towards knocking his or…

Originally posted on mariaology: It’s funny how I still remember getting my first Game Boy. It was the original one, 8-bit in a lovely yellow colour, feeling heavy and smooth in your hand. My mum had bought it off my older cousin for about £10, and I remember feeling so surprised that she’d got me…

I love this. Make memories with your children. Being a parent is so pivotal to growth. This brought tears to my eyes.

The other day I was so frustrated with my prayer that I did not know what to do. I sat down to pray and no words would come, of course that made me even more frustrated. I was thinking about my problems, my cares and my concerns, and not the problem solver. I had lost…

The Lord All-Powerful says, “Try this test. Bring one-tenth of your things to me. Put them in the treasury. Bring food to my house. Test me! If you do these things, I will surely bless you. Good things will come to you like rain falling from the sky. You will have more than enough of…

Humans have control over every kind of wild animal, bird, reptile, and fish, and they have controlled all these things. But no one can control the tongue. It is wild and evil, full of deadly poison. We use our tongues to praise our Lord and Father, but then we curse people who were created in…

I was praying the other day or maybe it’s more like my morning discussion with The Lord. I was concerned because I still swear, not all the time and in every sentence but hey, I do. I was telling him how it bothered me and I was asking for him to remove it. In my…

“Come to me all of you who are tired from the heavy burden you have been forced to carry. I will give you rest. Accept my teaching. Learn from me. I am gentle and humble in spirit. And you will be able to get some rest. Yes, the teaching that I ask you to accept…

I love your word. Time and again it has been proven true. I am young, and people don’t respect me. But I have not forgotten your instructions. Your goodness is forever, and your teachings can be trusted. Even though I have troubles and hard times, your commands give me joy. Your rules are always right.…

Today I tried my hand at creating a scripture prayer. One thing I know about God’s word, it cannot return to him void. So I’m sharing this with you in the hopes that you see God and feel his presence when you see his word, trust in it and believe. God, you give true peace…

On the way, there was a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. She came close behind Jesus and touched the bottom of his coat. She was thinking, “If I can touch his coat, I will be healed.” (‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭20-21‬ ERV)Jesus turned and saw the woman. He said, “Be happy, dear woman. You are…

My people are hurt, so I am hurt. I am too sad to speak. Surely there is some medicine in Gilead. Surely there is a doctor in Gilead. So why are the wounds of my people not healed? (‭Jeremiah‬ ‭8‬:‭21-22‬ ERV) Father, we need the balm in Gilead to heal our souls. My sisters in…

The Father had given Jesus power over everything. Jesus knew this. He also knew that he had come from God. And he knew that he was going back to God. (‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭3‬ ERV) It’s something to know that you know that you know that you are from God. When you know who’s you are you…
