Dear Troubles & Trials, I wish I could say we’re through. But life promises time with you. Your vehicle has carried me far too often. But now? A driver switch is due. Troubles and trials, you arise, but do you remember years ago when I sat in your vehicle’s seat? You clicked the buckle tight, slammed…
There’s an area in our back yard that concerns me. Perhaps there’s an area that will concern you, too. My family’s house is built on the “high” end of the neighborhood. Rain should soak in or drain right off, shouldn’t it? That’s not always the case. Things aren’t always as they appear. Rain falls. Water builds. Streams…

Do you have days where faith feels like a roller coaster ride? The ups, the downs, the stomach-in-your-mouth turns? If you’re silently whispering me too, you’re not alone. We click along fine, the kind of fine that pulls out of the gate nice and easy, slow and steady. Click.Click.Click. The coaster clicks along the track,…
Do you ever look back at situations or stare them in the face and wonder Where do I run when life’s storms approach? Sometimes there’s a common thread. Here’s mine. Maybe you can relate. “Hurry! It’s coming. Get to a safe place,” I screeched with concern for the souls in front of…
