3 Ways to Start Publishing Your Novel
So, I’ve been finishing a novel in my 3-month sabbatical from the blog. That’s not the main reason I gave the blog, and the internet in general, a break. However, my self-prescribed hiatus, brought on by a need to spend more time with God, actually …
Surrender: A New Year’s Resolution

A Moment of Clarity: Finding Hope in the Midst of My Pain
