Welcome back, Terri. What are some of the spiritual themes you like to write about? God is always with us. Fix your eyes on Jesus, keep your mind on things above, keep your heart on things above.

Peter and Maren dream of the day they will be reunited, but more and more, that day appears to be a mirage.
Some things don’t change. One hundred years ago, politic rancor was high and a pandemic raged, but God is still in control.

One split open, and tiny orbs bounced across the shiny surface. Sinking down on the nearest chair, her thoughts scattered like the seeds.
“What will this mean?” She needed to catch her breath. “For us? How will it affect us?”
“I think a lot of people expect we’ll be supplying the
