When I went to the doctor last week for a routine checkup, I told her about my recently published book, Through His Disciples’ Eyes.
After I described the book’s plot, she proceeded to tell me that it sounded like the Joshua Book Series and asked me if I’ve ever read it.

I know people don’t listen to the radio as much anymore. Especially those under forty who probably listen to streaming music. When I’m driving, I tend to leave on the radio. Sometimes an unexpected song will play that resonates with my soul. In other words, it captures my mood and/or gives me hope.

Every time I think I know who I am, life throws me a curveball and I’m whacked up side the head.
