An excerpt from my book on limbo. Is My Baby an Angel? No, your baby cannot be an angel. Angels are pure and bodiless spirits created at the beginning of time. They are purely spiritual in nature. Their “nature” is a bodiless one. There is nothing physical about them. So, God does not have another…

Can IVF be Forgiven?
One of the search phrases that lead people to my blog is the phrase, “Can IVF be forgiven?” I find this an interesting phrase and it’s a complex scenario. What I find very sad in this question is that someone must feel that this cannot be forgiven; which tells me, they also feel that IVF…
Not My Will, But Yours Be Done
Last July I was assisting with an event at my church, when a friend mentioned in passing that she had heard it was easy for demons to possess people. I knew this of course, but I listened to what she had to say. People become possessed through little ways and they don’t even have to…

Being a Good Steward on Social Media
Last month, I was approached by a publishing company’s acquisitions editor to write a book for them. This requires a marketing campaign; which in turn requires a social media presence.
