  Guest Post by Adriana Morales Spokane “… Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing. Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened. But He said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” Mark 4:

Why Journal?

Why Journal?

March 9, 2019 | Comments Off on Why Journal?

  In December of 1969, nearly 50 years ago I started journaling about life, my life, and my search for life. Since March of 2010, I’ve been journaling daily in the Bible. My wife sits by the fire with me. Because it brings so much value to us, we devote two hours each day. It’s one of the best decisions we’ve made. I currently coach several business leaders in daily journaling in the Word. Once they begin and remain consistent, they start experiencing amazing results in every area of life. Here are some insights we’ve gleaned from journaling. • Everything

I’m a Fake Writer

November 28, 2018 | Comments Off on I’m a Fake Writer

Every other Saturday morning I meet with a group of writer friends and we talk shop, drink coffee or lattes and write together. Everyone in the group is a unique type of writer. We have bloggers, novelists, non-fiction writers, journaling enthusiasts, academic writers and more. Yes, there really are more types of writers. Some of us are self-published, some write e-books and others write in their journals. A few of us have no idea what we want to write. One lady is scared to write and is looking for inspiration. Some people have ideas, but are waiting to articulate what

For years my family would travel to the lovely beaches of North Carolina for our summer vacation. We would all cram into our rented 1200 sq ft. beach house on Topsail Beach just steps from the waves. I loved it. It was my escape from work, life, household chores. The minute we crossed the state line into NC, I could feel my stress melt away. Ahh!!! How I longed for the peace and serenity. And of course, my journal was tucked away in my beach bag. Journaling while lounging on the beach is one of my favorite writing spots. I

Count Your Blessings

Count Your Blessings

December 29, 2015 | Comments Off on Count Your Blessings

BY: ANDREW SCHROER “Count your blessings.” That phrase is used so often in our world today, it has become cliché. But do you know where it comes from? The phrase originates from an old Jewish tradition. According to Jewish law, a faithful Jew will speak one hundred blessings every day. In other words, he or she will thank and praise God out loud for one hundred different blessings every day. So Orthodox Jews count their blessings to make sure they have said all one hundred. Imagine trying to come up with one hundred things every day for which to give
