    A dream of children gathered around Jesus became a tender reminder of who we are in Christ: redeemed, cherished, and never forgotten by the Father.

    Alive and Unhindered

    An honest story of self-doubt, a conversation with my wife, and choosing to write again, trusting God to keep my feet on the path, one day at a time.

    A Letter from Papa

    A letter written as from the Father: He isn’t keeping score of your failures. He sees every act of love, and He is so proud of you. Love, Papa.

    The Father’s Treasures

    Walking through a forest of memories, I see the Father’s hand in every season. A tender story of His delight in His children, His true treasures.
