    By Carol McClain  @carol_mcclain Anyone stopping by this website knows I’m an author. And I can create books in two ways: I can dash down my first thoughts and believe they’re great. They are. To me. Not to anyone else who reads them. I can labor, write, rewrite, wrestle with my thoughts and words and phrasings. …[ read more ]

    By Carol McClain:  @carol_mcclain There was a time when I knew prayer.

    @carol_mcclain I diet regularly, but never seem to lose weight because I give up when I’m hungry. And then, I regularly decide I’m going to train for a marathon. Usually, around mile two, I decide a 5K is more than enough. Worse than the above, in all my art, being fearful of ruining the final product, …[ read more ]

    By Carol McClain I don’t know about you, but somewhere during the many years I’ve been a Christian, I’ve taught myself God is a piggy bank that gives interest. Insert prayer. Wait a day or two, and pop out more than I put in.     Then things don’t go according to plan. I don’t …[ read more ]

  • Prayer–When It Doesn’t Work

    By Carol McClain:  @carol_mcclain   I’ve been praying like a fury–for good things, things according to God’s desires. I hang onto the verse: “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us” 1 John 5:14.

      From the Blog

    • By: Carol McClain @carol_mcclain I know. It's been a while since I've been on my blog. You know. Life's so busy--so many social engagements, fairs, family gatherings ... So many lies. I've more than likely not taken my own medicine. The prescription can be found in Proverbs 17:22: "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:" The last chapter of 2020 closed a few weeks ago, but not without promising us more heartache in 2021.
