Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Ephesians 4:12 Today, my Bedford County novella A Sojourner’s Solace is being released. Because family is a strong theme of this story, I thought a week-long series on the subject through devotionals and videos would be appropriate. Each day, you can enter for a chance to win …

So, this is a special blessing for me, and I pray it will be for you, as well. …
Over the last several weeks, I’ve interviewed with different podcasters, and every one of them was a blessing.
