The Festival of Faith & Writing at Calvin University 2024 was awesome, as always!

What could be new? I LOVE grace, but it’s all we talk about!

A book of letters from a friend, encouraging you in your journey/wanderings in the wilderness, a journey of evolving faith.

Jesus is tired? I hope not of me!

Fun book to read. Funny, too. The characters have great personalities and I liked it was set in Key West, where I had lived back when I was in 6th and 7th grade. It gave the book a colorful background.

Recently, certainty and uncertainty have come up frequently for some reason. It seems like God might be encouraging me to think about it.

May this blessing be a “plowshare of sorts” to you.

Highly recommend. Great story and characters and writing!

Works for me. What works for you?
