A Spiritual Scaffold

Featured sjwellsauthorLeave a comment

Many times we read our Bible in a hurry. Then, we get busy through the day and forget to meditate on it. Later, we wonder why we did not hear any new truths that day or why we feel so empty. I like what Calhoun says on page 173, "Just as moving a prism reveals… Continue reading A Spiritual Scaffold

Thoughts While Drinking My Coffee

Featured sjwellsauthorLeave a comment

Technology is great, until it isn't. Machines do a lot of cool things, until they don't do what we want. Sometimes, things work so well, we forget they can't think for themselves. And, yet, machines thinking for themselves is what we definitely do not want. Remember The Matrix? I spent most of my childhood hating… Continue reading Thoughts While Drinking My Coffee

I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. After pulling on my jeans, teeshirt and houseshoes, I poured a cup of coffee, wrapped up in a blanket on the couch and wished I could just read all day. “I don’t want to adult today,” I told the cat. He just crawled up onto… Continue reading Don’t Faint, Pray

We’ve Come A Long Way

Featured sjwellsauthorLeave a comment

A few weeks ago I read, “Rocket Boys: a Memoir” by Homer H. Hickam. It made me laugh, and it made me cry. It also made me ask myself, what kind of determination does it take to learn something difficult in order to achieve a dream? If I were failing algebra, would I want to… Continue reading We’ve Come A Long Way

Time for Something New

Featured sjwellsauthorLeave a comment

Summertime is the perfect time to try something new. Don’t you think? It has always been that way for me, whether intended or not. I rode a jetski for the first time during the summer of 1989. That was the same year I went out of state to a church camp for children who are… Continue reading Time for Something New

Words to live by

As an author and a homeschool mama who happens to be blind, I’ve learned that the only way to make it in this life is to rely fully on God. Best way to do that is read His Word.

 

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13 KJV

 

“But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 KJV
