Take hope in the knowledge that you are cherished by the One who made you—you are sheltered in the shadow of His wing, close to His heart. It is my prayer that as we get to know one another you, too, will see beyond the veil and will learn to say, “Even so, I walk in the Presence of the Lord”
With joy,
Nan
Scriptures of Encouragement ~ Liquid Grace
Baptist Hospital beckoned through the rear view mirror, calling to my heart left behind in room 6 of the CCU. Our friend and deacon lay dying, finally surrendering to the ravages of bone cancer. It was so hard to let him go. As we drove down the highway, approaching...

Scriptures of Holiness ~ One Finger For His Glory
Boy, do I have a treat for you today. It would be best not to construe this post as a happy, happy, joy, joy kind of treat. Instead, it's a getcha thinkin', heart-shaping kind of treat. I promise it's a good one though. Corrie ten Boom is one of my heroes of the...
Scriptures of Encouragement ~ Oh Brother, What a Morning!
