Holding on to Hope

May 19, 2012 By Verna Bowman 18 Comments

Have you ever felt like the woman on the tracks? I’ve felt like a damsel in distress.

Chatting With Your Soul

April 21, 2012 By Verna Bowman 11 Comments

Would you believe you can make a difference in your emotional, spiritual, and physical well being by talking to yourself? The psaltery journals of David penned in palaces, caves and shepherd fields, remind us how he strengthened himself in the words of the Lord.  When his soul was downcast, he chatted with his inner breath . . … [Read more...]
