Redeeming Love Misses the Mark
Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I posted and for that, I apologize. We’ve had a lot of big life changes and moves in the past year and it’s meant not as much time for writing here as I would like. At some point I do hope to catch up and get into a more regular posting pattern again. But let’s talk about what brought me back. It can be a luxury sometimes to not have an opinion on something. It’s a relief to be able to just put your head down and do your work and ignore some things. I think in recent weeks and months, we’d all…

Flaws in the Faith Film Industry
It's my belief that we serve the master and creator of the universe. The most creative being ever to exist. Our creativity should be of the highest quality. And with the light, we should be reaching people bigger and better. People should be looking at our stories and asking how they can get more. And unfortunately, that's just not the case.

Let’s talk Coronavirus…
by Lori Twichell Let’s talk Coronavirus. I’ve been kind of quiet on it other than sharing news stories because this is a local story for me. My news feeds on various social media sites are split pretty definitively. I have friends who are convinced this is the end of everything and we’re all going to die. I also have friends who believe it’s a full on hoax meant to mess with elections and they are pretty much scoffing at those who are concerned. Where you stand on the issue doesn’t matter to me, really. Your opinions don’t change anything about my life or how it’s affecting my family and…

Wisdom and the Tongue….
Though I spend time daily studying the Bible, I rarely choose to share it. In my mind, those are God’s words and lessons for me, not necessarily for others. I hate the idea that I might start to sound preachy. But sometimes something really resonates and I feel like it might touch someone else. This week I had one of those moments.
