Fill In Speaking
These past weeks, I’ve been busy with pulpit supply in local churches. My employer sent me to a two week training academy to help me develop better leadership skills. I’ve had limited time to write, publish new articles. I”m also in the process of reading and studying in order to publish future articles. That’s why you haven’t received new post emails recently.
Changes to Site
This site will incorporate photos I capture myself and from Unsplash and Canva Pro. I use A.I. as a tool to generate images (Night Cafe Studio), summaries, etc. All A.I. items will be identified and sourced. A.I doesn’t write these articles! Each article is personally written, prayed over/edited, and often revised numerous times in order to ensure quality. I’m in the process of replacing the A.I images with real photos as I edit/republish older articles.

Understanding and Relating to Readers
After five years of writing and publishing articles on the site, I’ve learned these lessons.
1st-many will read articles and chose to not respond by liking, commenting, or asking questions. Feels impersonal publishing articles without feedback. I understand that some don’t feel comfortable posting online. I’ve come to accept this as the nature of website blogging. If these posts help you to grow and face a new day with hope and courage, then the effort is worth it!
2nd-posts are available without charge and paywall. This website is a ministry that is available worldwide. You’re welcome to repost, quote, or use any of the materials herein with a proper reference and functional link to the original post on this site. This site exists for encouragement purposes–not for profit or to promote a particular denomination or theological school of thought.
3rd not every post will speak to you–we come from different social/cultural backgrounds, struggle with various life challenges, and find ourselves having a variety of perspectives on emotional and spiritual health. Appreciate you sharing your personal reflections or explaining how a post or quote impacts you. All comments are moderated and will be posted if appropriate/relevant.
Appreciate your prayers as I seek to daily walk with hope and faith in this journey of life! More content coming soon.
