The Days of Noah – Part 2 – Enoch
Posted on June 18, 2025 Leave a Comment
One of my favorite Bible characters is Enoch, the sixth from Adam, who lived only 365 years on earth. Did you know that he is quoted in the Bible? He is the only extrabiblical source mentioned in the Word of God. Jude quotes Enoch, and Peter refers to him. What is it about Enoch that […]

“And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.[1]”

When Facebook began to explode about 15 years ago, everyone was sharing their day with each other. “Oh wow! I haven’t seen you in years!” “How are you doing?” “I’m so glad to be able to keep in touch with you!” Remember those days? Posts were often mundane, but we were sharing our lives with […]

Do I Deserve to be Here – Part 3

Parts 1 & 2 were written before I knew my whole story. I knew most of it, but not all when I wrote those two posts in 2019. Late in 2019, I recorded a video testimony to my church about my comprehensive deliverance from negative spiritual forces. New information came to me in early 2021, […]

An Encouraging Word for Your Generation Part 2 of the encouraging words I received in July. I prayed about when to release them. They speak to almost every decade of our adult lives. I hope you will find inspiration and edification when you read about the decade you are currently in.
Your Generation – Part 1

Encouragement for Whatever Your Age When I began recovering from bronchitis in July, I felt the Lord speak many things to me. I really couldn’t do much of anything but read. So, the Lord took advantage of all that time and showed me some things about every age group beginning at age 20. But He […]
One Thing I Know

I follow Christ. His timing is perfect, and sometimes I get it right, and sometimes, I’ve tried to step out when it wasn’t the right time. I’ve done “previews” of what I felt God wanted me to do before and have met with some small success, but it was never the right time and nothing […]
FINISHING WELL

My first two novels went like clockwork, once the literary agency I was signed with decided to publish them through a special Amazon program. Meghan’s Choice was released in November 2017, and Rose’s Redemption followed in 2018. No problem. More about this in the next post.
