So, did you notice what changed? The Excerpt on the onedaybow.com website now contains Part One and Two of The Bridge from OneDayBow! I envision some teenage boy, or an elderly woman in China who managed to peak in on the website and will now have a chance to hear the Gospel (Good News!) of Jesus Christ and learn how we as followers of Jesus are able to Stand in the faith! (Hello Beijing!) Some might say, “That would be…..
I can’t believe it’s been so long since I posted to my blog! I’ve been in the slow process of changes to the Website but it’s almost here! Coming soon is Part Two of The Bridge from OneDayBow Trilogy! From the beginning I’ve wanted to make the book as accessible as possible, along with giving you some insights into the Story behind the story. So tell your family and friends to log in at onedaybow.com to check it out. Also…..
Have you ever needed to be in two places at the same time? Pretty impossible, huh? Competing commitments often have to be weighed in the light of priority, something stays and something goes. But what about when you’re looking at two things that are both Really important to you, and you don’t want to miss either one? That’s kind of where Tim is, as chapter 8 of “The Bridge from OneDayBow” ends – or so he thinks. After years of…..
I missed it again this year – that is I missed the actual holiday. July 7th is said to be “Tell the Truth Day,” a day dedicated to honesty and the rejection of lying and manipulation. Sadly, as I looked around the web for articles about it, some thought it was a good opportunity to malign and discredit truth. Others treated lying as somewhat harmless, and generally unavoidable. How about you; do you think there should be a holiday to…..
I don’t remember the day I was born. I’m pretty sure that my Mom always did, as well as the months leading up to it. It’s kind of strange to think that I was alive before I was born. We don’t celebrate our first birthday when we’ve been out of the womb for three months, even though we were alive for nine months before that. I guess the key phrase is “birthday”. At birth, there is no physical change in…..
My husband and I recently climbed a mountain. (That looks so impressive in print!) Yes, we really did climb all 700 feet of it, in one mile, mostly straight up. Actually, we didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into when we started and we had only a vague idea of what we hoped to gain. The gentle path we started on was soon surpassed by sharp inclines and eventually steep face-rock. For the record, I did want to make…..
Few things in life are more unexpected than a free gift – even when you could have expected it! Let me explain. We have been trained by phrases like, “Nothing’s ever free” and “You can’t get something for nothing”. If you’ve ever been told by a telemarketer that you are going to receive an all-expenses-paid trip with absolutely no obligation, you’re already pretty sure that “free” is a term that’s often used lightly. So, here Tim is – almost halfway…..
You may have noticed that I was slow getting to this post. I’ve been dealing with some opposition, and obviously it was having some success. It was a different face of opposition. It almost appeared to be on my side, to be looking out for my own good, and carried with it a certain amount of logic. Ultimately, the aim was to detract from my chosen course. As I stalled and delayed I was reminded of a vital and elementary…..
We’ve all been there: the middle of the night and we’re wide awake. Thinking, planning, worrying, wrestling. What if…? What if not…? How can I…? How can I not…? Should I…? Should I not…? The same mind that is saying I must sleep is asking questions that demand an answer, a solution, a resolution, or at the least a decision to stop thinking! At moments – or hours – like these I’m reminded that I am not in control. If…..
It’s getting close to decision time for Tim. Will he choose the King? Tim may be wondering – and maybe you are too – how do you choose someone you don’t know? Emma clearly presented Tim with a choice, an individual, personal choice. He hasn’t met this King yet, and there are probably still unanswered questions, but Emma directs Tim to a starting point. Prayer. The very word may sound intimidating, and as you read Tim’s words it’s kind of…..
