So I did a thing. But before I tell you about it, I want to acknowledge that today is College Colors Day. So to my fellow Baylor Bears, “fling your green and gold afar”! And Sic ‘Em. So ready for our first game tomorrow. The rest of you can wear your school colors too.

I got to be a guest on one of my favorite podcasts. I listen to Front Porch with the Fitzes every week. And they asked me to join them!

This podcasting family features three authors, Elyse Fitzpatrick, Jessica Thompson, and Joel Fitzpatrick. I was so honored and excited and nervous. But they were so welcoming and encouraging that they put me right at ease. Plus I got to talk about Shelby – one of my favorite subjects.

The topic: Disability and the Church. Straight talk…this is tough. I’ve hurt feelings over this post on the topic. So I prayed up and asked God to give me the words to say that would bring glory to Him and build up His church. I hope that I have done that here. The subject is serious but the hosts are a hoot, so I think you’ll enjoy listening. And please let me know your thoughts in the comments below. It would really help me for any future podcast opportunities.

Thank you all so much!

Today is World Letter Writing Day. I am a fan of writing in all its forms, but

I certainly think the world would be a lot better off if we all wrote frequent letters to God.

That’s one way we can look at prayer, whether we do it on paper, in our minds or out loud. And He always answers His mail.

Today I’m writing to Him about spiritual warfare.

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.

2 Corinthians 10:3 NIV
