You Can Ride This Bike

"Give the devil a black eye for me" my friend had said in an email message. I chuckled at the thought as I whirled through the house. We were preparing to leave for a women's retreat and it had been quite a day. We'd encountered the usual resistance that comes when God is about to do something special in people’s lives.

As a result, I was running behind. I scurried around the house trying to put things in order, so that the youth could crash for the night, while I spent time with 600 women and girls.

The women from our church were very excited about the event and I was anxious to meet them so that we could get started on our journey. Opening the hall closet, to put something away, a large object fell and struck me in the face. I saw stars and am sure the impact would have knocked me to the ground had it not been for the long leg cast which was a part of my usual attire.

Interview with Carol Kent

Today I am sharing an interview with author Carol Kent whose newest book, Between a Rock and A Grace Place, is now available for purchase.

The book opens with a story about a Christmas gift that Carol received. You can read it in the free sample which is available here.

Between a Rock and A Grace Place focuses on finding grace in the midst of what might seemly be hopeless situations. Carol shares her own experiences as well as the stories of others.

 The Kent's have been on an incredible journey since their son was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Their gleanings regarding grace in the hard places of life is very encouraging.
