A Lesson From Butterflies

March 5, 2026 By Karen Witemeyer 7 Comments

This week, I am teaching and giving a keynote address at a brand new conference for Christian writers based in Texas. The hearts of the organizers for ministering to Christian writers are so beautiful and inspiring. It's a small, intimate conference, but I feel that God is moving here, and I'm thrilled to play a part. The conference is being held at a lovely Christian retreat center in … [Read more...]

An Artist’s Perspective

November 7, 2025 By Robin Lee Hatcher

As I told subscribers in my monthly newsletter, I received my first oil paint set when I was twelve, a gift from my mom. In my twenties, I switched to acrylics (I’m too impatient to wait while oils dry). These days, while I enjoy pulling out my paints on occasion, I can say with all honesty that I’m not a true artist. I just enjoy playing with it a little bit. That’s not true of Roger … [Read more...]
