"Making a splash for the ripples..."
As a child I loved to throw rocks in water, just to watch the ripple effect. Eventually I mastered the art of skipping stones, creating ripples upon ripples.
In this blog I cover a blend of topics. Some are tough topics. Like overcoming abuse--emotional, physical, sexual or spiritual--and violence. Others are spiritually uplifting, devotional types. Still others are simply storytelling, practical advice on marriage, parenting, relationships and a variety of topics.
When I put the written word out there, it's like tossing a pebble in the lake. I have no idea how far the ripples will go. Sometimes it's like skipping stones, as I watch people share and pass it on, creating a series of ripples that my little pebble, dropped in front of me, could never create.
In all I say and share, my prayer is that the ripple that reaches you will be one of hope and encouragement. I don't mention Him explicitly in every post, but my goal is to make Jesus famous in my life and in my writing, so that you will be empowered to live a life of purpose and meaning.
A Splash of Love.... 
Politics. i get thoroughly sick of it.
I’m trying to believe they have good (and necessary) motives for cutting communication. I don’t have a problem with that, in and of itself. I have a problem with imposing such a thing, and then chattering with people not involved. That seems highly inappropriate. And I have a problem with imposing such a thing when the information came from me, and never so much as a peep about it. Pausing communication, putting it on hold – pick the wording – for a purpose can be a good thing.
