"The obstacles of our faith are of our own making." Two weeks ago I accepted an invitation to contribute to an anthology which will publish around Christmas.

Day 3 of #31DaysofWatchingGodMove
I've Never Been One to Write My Prayers Odd, because I'm a writer. I write to discover the way I feel. Writing helps me see; words lighting my way. I felt called to see differently in order to widen my frame. So, when the lectionary pointed me to James 4, " we have not because …
