When dreams become words to share with others, amazing things can happen

I love seeing how the power of the written word can change a life or redefine a moment in time. This power is the inspiration for my stories. How something, or someone, who most see as simple and insignificant, can step forward on faith and become powerful beyond belief. It is the theme that God has used for thousands of years, turning ordinary men and women into powerful examples of what it means to live life to the full. I hope you enjoy these stories, lessons and discussions that God has put on my heart to write and share with you.

A DEATH OF INNOCENCE

With power comes responsibilities
King David’s life is an incredible example of free will being lived out, for both good and evil in life and leadership. Unfortunately, the two chapters in 2 Samuel 11-12 would prove to be one of the greatest and most pivotal free will leadership failures for David. A series of selfish choices and far-reaching consequences that would not only shatter the innocence and lives of those caught up in them, but the innocence of his own heart and reputation as a man after God’s own heart. It was a death of innocence that would forever tarnish and weaken his trust as a leader of a nation, and the trust needed as a father, husband, and a friend.

SOME SECRETS SHOULD NEVER BE CARRIED

This is a Children's Story written specifically for parents, grandparents, teachers, relatives and concerned friends who want to not only protect the innocence of our children, but to free them of past abuse. It is about how other people’s actions can force children to carry a heavy bag of unwanted secrets around with them their whole lives. Secrets that weigh down their hearts and steal their joy and happiness. The story is meant as a tool to help open the floodgates of discussion and hopefully aid in their healing.
