Welcome to the second Fireside Chat. I’m sharing Scripture, poetry, devotionals, historical selections, and more in this audio post. In my Fireside Chats I focus on offering encouragement and refreshment during these difficult times.

    Thank you, Sallie! Some of what you said in this one came back into my mind later in the day, and it was very helpful.

For 20+ years, I’ve been writing about following Jesus Christ and making choices based on what is true, beautiful, and eternal. Through purposeful living, self-employment, and homeschooling, our family has learned that freedom comes from a commitment to thoughtfully examine all of life and think for yourself.
