King David longed to build a temple for God in Jerusalem. God said that since it was in David’s heart to build Him a house, God would build David a “house.” God was not promising a physical house with walls and a roof. The “house” God promised David was a family lineage that would endure forever (v. 12). . . .

In my research for the children’s books that I am writing, I discovered this treasure that I just had to share with you!

Yes, children can be harassed by demons. The two biblical examples are in Matthew 15 and Luke 9. Our children today are bombarded with more . . .

I wore silver wings and a halo yesterday. The preschoolers love it!

Do you stare in wonder at sparkling snowcapped mountains, or the shimmering feathers of a hummingbird suspended in flight? Do you gasp at the shifting colors of the sunset or the delicate fragrance of a perfect rose? Or do you take for granted God’s miraculous wonders? . . .

My favorite part of raising children was the bedtime routine. I spent quiet, intimate time connecting with each of them. I would lay with them and pray with them.

Every time I read Psalm 42, . . .

I happened on this book by accident, and now I am recommending it to everyone I know!

I discovered it browsing at the half-priced bookstore looking for “God stories.” My favorite God stories reveal His beauty through broken people. The Cullen family felt broken and defeated as they struggled with their son Josiah’s autism. Then God did something miraculous! . . . .

“Your children teach you patience,” my mother declared when I told I did not have the patience to raise children. She was right, of course.

I remember the day that my two-year-old knocked over her sister’s block tower . . . again. . . .
