Well...I really was left at the school until almost dark when I was that age. The dream really did happen. I haven't met Ellen...yet?

Wow. I can relate to that. I don't know of anyone who hasn't done something like that, or at least thought of running away and crying out to God. He is so gracious to meet us wherever we run to, or wherever we are, as we call to Him. There is noth...

Joanie, this is great. The whole time I was reading about the little girl, I was totally thinking it was you, or someone in the congregation. =) Did this happen for real, or was it just a dream?

This was a very good story and I learned from the writing not to use to many useless words in my own writing. I'll use this as a example for my own writing too.

The picture that came to my mind was of a big fish swallowing a little fish - death swallowed up in life though or Jonah and the whale. Doesn't it kind of make you wonder what happened? It would be interesting to hear what the Lord gives you in re...

Wow, Joanie. That must have been hard to write, but yet a great release. Thank you for sharing, and I do believe that you have to write that book, although it may be scary. Trust God and take that leap of faith. We are cheering you on! =) BTW, I ...

Oceanside Retreat

It didn’t matter where I went. It didn’t matter who I was with. The heavy robe of rejection and depression weighed me down, clutched me in jaws to strong to break free of. I was invited to a College and Careers Retreat with a friend. I didn’t want to go, but I didn’t want to miss it either. I just felt so backwards, unsociable, unwanted. I carried a burden of guilt and grief no one was able to take away. Sometimes the big pipe organ at church wooed me out of it a little with the song, “Great is… Continue

Ellen

Ellen

I was lying in bed asleep. I had the humidifier on since I had been struggling with a bad cold. Over the noise of the humidifier, all of the sudden I was awakened to the sound of trumpets. The call was distinctive and repetitive. I jerked the cord of the humidifier out thinking I had lost my mind! The same call sounded out – do doo doo doooooo dooooooo doo…over and over for what seemed like an eternity, but was probably only just a minute or less. I tried to tell Dan, my husband, about th… Continue

Betwixt

Betwixt by Joan Ellsworth Boggs

I want to move on. At least I think I do. I want to just get on with my life. I think. I’m not exactly sure what that means. God has to be in it.

My Valley of Bones

"What of the bones that lay silent in the earth?"
He asked, "Do you believe?"
I answer, "Yes, I believe!"
Of long lost ones, bones long since dry, I hear Him declare - "They shall come to life when I give them breath. You will see! Loved ones lost from years ago - restored! You will see."
The clatter of bones, the witness is clear; The bodies assembling before your eyes!
Tendons muscle, then the skin, all but the Spirit, the breath of God.
Can you imagine?
Row upon row, like men lost in battle,… Continue
