Welcome to Restoration Freedom
It’s the mission of our ministry to seek Truth, restore broken people and things, and liberate the captives from their bonds – whether self-inflicted or bound by others.
In Which I Write A Novel in Three Days
It’s that time of year again and I am once again embracing the insanity…and beauty…of writing a novel in three days. Yes, you can write a novel in three days, although size-wise, it’s probably closer to a “novella.” Yes, it is worth every penny I spend every year on a contest I have yet to…
Book Review: The Baronet’s Song
The Baronet’s Song by George MacDonald My rating: 5 of 5 stars Love this classic re-read. Chosen for a book club, it got mixed reviews. I look at it from a big picture viewpoint.

The ultimate model of love and faithfulness, tenderness and strength, justice and mercy. Sorrow and joy. Sacrifice and selflessness. I could say the same for mothers….
Book Clubs and Coffee Shops
It is healing, rejuvenating, exhausting, exhilarating, and the harder path to choose to engage in person, face-to-face. I can shut out real life only for so long before real life sticks its sticky fingers under my door and demands that I return.
Critical Thinking with Your Children
I believe this type of open-sourced environment will foster the Christ-life in my children AND encourage them to continue life-long learning in the areas where His gifts can and will be best used.
Think About it Thursday
Context matters. It’s not just when you speak but how and to whom, what and where and why.
