I wanted to do a special blog post today to share a bit about my experience with Long-COVID and parosmia. I've felt called by God to try to help others dealing with this horrible condition, even though I am still very much in the trenches myself.

Back from Hiatus
What would you do if God asked you to do NOTHING? In a way, I think God asked the world to do NOTHING, for a bit at least, with the pandemic. To stay home for a few weeks and take a break from life and sit still. Because He was and is still proving that … Continue reading Back from Hiatus

I hadn’t been listening to this kind of music for very long, and I didn’t know any of … Continue reading The Power of Worship Music
Behind the Scenes of Somewhere Only We Know: Inspiration
Most of my story ideas come from getting a line in my head or coming up with a general concept. Then, once I figure out my character’s name and find the story’s title, I am able to build a story around that line or general concept. I’m not sure why I always need the names … Continue reading Behind the Scenes of Somewhere Only We Know: Inspiration
