Life is hard, often messy, but we serve a God that specializes in hard situations, messy people, and their stuff. There is always beauty in the ashes.
I am an anthropologist of the human condition and a champion of the human soul. I am an artist and theologian specializing in healing and hope. I am also an amateur biblical theologian who loves to delve into the scriptures to find ancient answers to contemporary problems. I am one who gets lost in the deep things of God and doesn’t mind being left breathless and speechless because of the mystery of God. I wrestle with scripture because I believe that God’s truth is found in its pages.

When God led me to start the Love Speaks Daily blog in 2009, I was in a dark place. I was recovering from church hurt, relationship hurt, financial hurt, and all sorts of hurt. When I took my hurt to God, I was led to 1 John 4:16 and the words, “God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” The lightbulb turned into a printed newsletter into an e-newsletter into the devotional blog that Love Speaks Daily is today. By focusing on God’s love instead of all the hurt, I found my way to hope. My goal is simple, to continuously remind readers about God’s love, grace, and mercy.
