Inspirations & Writings
When the Lord nudged me to take writing seriously
and be intentional about it, I thought,
"Why? The last thing our culture needs
is one more person talking."
I delayed for a year.
Unfortunately, that delay brought negative consequences
that are better left unsaid for now.
Suffice it to say, if you know anything about Jonah,
you know it isn't a good idea to run from God's call.
So, in 2015, I began a writing ministry
through monthly emails.
This page is a compilation of all those writings.
Wherever you are with the Lord,
I pray these timeless insights
will draw you deeper into an
intimate relationship with Him.

Heart Experience
Have you ever had a deep cut to the heart? If so, I understand. It hit me out of the blue and sliced so deeply that I could barely breathe. Beyond that though, Jesus understands. He is the "Man of Sorrows, acquainted with grief." He laments. Will you respond by lamenting as well? Joy will come in the morning, and with it will come healing and freedom.
Emergence
Emergence = "the process of coming into view; becoming exposed after being concealed."
Don't miss this glorious insight from a vision that came to me during group prayer. It will change your entire perspective on prayer, blessing and enriching your faith and your relationship with the Lord.
Like the Real Thing
AI Jesus? Yup, it has been unleashed. Millions are turning to this "God in the Machine," but can God be put in a box? Does that box speak truth or falsehood? The AI race is on, and the one who wins the race wins the narrative. Which narrative will win your heart and mind? Make sure it's the Real Thing.
The Rest of the Eye
We got a dog! For real. What does our puppy, a cyclone, and an eye have in common? The answer I discovered has changed my life and I pray will bless and minister to you. When you're done enjoying this, scroll down and read My Puppy's New Tricks. It will deepen and widen the impact of this message.
To the Cemeteary
Look where I found myself as I pulled off to the side of the road to cry. Do you have anything to cry about? I get it. You aren't alone. Join me in the Ceme-Teary and be comforted. Then visit my Podcast page and watch the video that accompanies this blog, documenting my real-time, unexpected experience in the cemetery.
The Blessed Exchange
You're invited to join a divine gift exchange. It's the party of the century. Can you make it? If so, you'll be radically blessed. Open here for all the glorious details. Then make sure you RSVP with a resounding 'Yes,' after you learn how deep God's blessings are towards us-- and ours are towards Him.
Answers To Answers Double
We all want answers, don't we? What shall we do? How shall we do it? Where shall we go? When shall we go there? What if there were a way we could not only get answers to those questions, but also get double what we wanted...even beyond what we could think to ask? Listen to this modern-day parable and get all the answers you need (and more).
Out For Delivery
The truth is, it's been given to you, it's yours, you own it, and you've got it!
Then why does it sometimes seem like this isn't true? It may be that it's out for delivery but still in transit. Read here to discover what 'it' is and how to embrace it as you await its delivery on your doorstep.
The Word Table
A friend asked me out of the blue,
"Does the word table mean anything to you?" Knowing I like patterns that appear in daily living along with Scripture searches and studies by theme, she was curious if I'd gotten any insight into the word "table". Or...was she asking about the "Word Table?" Check out here how the Lord revealed amazing things about both the word "table" and the "Word Table," prompted by a simple text.
"But I want you to know, brethren,
that the things which happened to me have
actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel,
so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest,
that my chains are in Christ;
and most of the brethren in the Lord,
having become confident by my chains,
are much more bold to speak the word without fear."
Philippians 1:12-14
“Oh, that my words were written!
Oh, that they were inscribed in a book!
That they were engraved on a rock with an iron pen and lead, forever!
For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth;
and after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God,
whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me!"
Job 19:23-27
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer."
Psalm 19:14
