As wedding coordinator for the 100-year-old steamboat The Belle of Louisville, Devyn Asbury takes pride in seeing others’ dreams come true, even though her engagement had sunk like a diamond ring to the bottom of the Ohio River. When the Belle becomes a finalist in the Timeless Wedding Venue contest, Devyn endeavors to secure the…
Freedom

Today, July 4th, we reflect upon a special time in the formation of the United States of America. I’m so thankful for the founding fathers of this nation. For their courage, passion, and heart. For their boldness to stand for truth and pursue freedom. Their sacrifice and bravery moves me, bringing to mind Jesus’ words in…
Book Review: AT LIGHTHOUSE POINT

I wasn’t sure what to expect from Suzanne Woods Fisher’s, At Lighthouse Point. My interest tends to veer towards either Christian suspense or Christian romance. While this book contains elements of romance, I would not classify it as such, considering that Blaine’s romantic interests are not the focal point of the story. As far as…
He’s Coming

But the boat was already a long distance from the land, battered by the waves; for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. Matthew 14:24-25 According to my Bible notes, the fourth watch of the night is between 3 and 6 AM.…
REBIRTH

Isaiah 53 is prophesy about Jesus, the Messiah. It declares powerful truth about what Jesus experienced for us. “He was oppressed and afflicted,Yet He did not open His mouth;Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,So He did not open His mouth.By oppression and judgment He was…

“Now Pilate summoned to himself the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, and he said to them, ‘You brought this man to me on the ground that he is inciting the people to revolt; and behold, after examining Him before you, I have found no basis at all in the case of this man for the charges which you are bringing against…
Believe Before You See

Have you been waiting, praying, seeking, and still haven’t seen the promise fulfilled? Has God given you a word, but it feels stuck somewhere between Heaven and Earth? While reading in John 4, the Lord drew my attention to a particular verse. It came from the following passage: “Therefore He came again to Cana of Galilee, where…
A Christmas Message

As I was reading about the birth of Jesus, I was drawn to the good news which the angel gave the shepherds. Luke 2:10-11 says this: “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town…
What is Love?

The other day, while reading in 1 John, I came across this verse: “The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him,” (1 John 2:10). It jumped off the page! There is no cause for stumbling inside the one who loves his brother? Wow. Can…
THE KEY TO LOVE – Review

The Key to Love, by Betsy St. Amant, is a “sweet” romance. Bri—a baker and hopeless romantic—seeks to walk in her mother’s shoes and keep her memory alive. Not only was her mother a talented baker of sweet treats at the Pastry Puff, but she had a fairytale relationship with Bri’s father. At least, that’s…
