“the value of the earthly and the wonder when what happens here moves us to the heavenly” – in an email from my friend and former fellow team blogger at Ishshah’s Story, Pat Joyce – *** She’s ba-a-ck. I heard the ‘Ding. Ding.’ My week opened up and lots of prayerful processing has been going […]
The Passing Praises of Men
I’ve struggled with resigning myself to the ‘fact’ that I write for my own sake, or so it seems. Judging by the silence and lack of supporting evidence that I have but a handful of readers, the Lord and I have had ongoing conversation over this. An Audience of One seemed to be my manifesto […]
Ishshah’s Story – The Difference a Day Makes

Ishshah’s Story – An Audience of One
While penning June’s team member contribution to Ishshah’s Story, I recalled in heart and mind that our finest work is achieved when we concentrate on offering it to an audience of One. What He does with it once it’s released from one’s heart, head, hand or voice is what makes each of us a student […]
Ishshah’s Story – Encouraging the Encourager
May’s team member contribution to Ishshah’s Story speaks to a holy conundrum experienced by those who live daily in the role of a God-called encourager.
