    By: Carol McClain        carol_mcclain Have you ever prayed and prayed and prayed and nothing ever happened? If you’ve been a Christian for any length of time, I don’t have to guess at the answer. Unfortunately, to us mortals with mortal desires, sometimes the answer is no.

    Carol McClain        @carol_mcclain   My roofer-brother-in-law flew four hundred miles to my house to put on a new roof. As a single mom with only my salary as support, his help was critical.

    Carol McClain   @carol_mcclain With childlike faith, I decided I would write a novel about a paramedic. I naively researched the profession and assumed I had the correct information. I wasn’t so naive as to think it was perfect. During this time period, I wondered, too, if I was called to write. I belonged to a floundering critique group …[ read more ]

    By Carol McClain:   @carol_mcclain “Two thirds of the praying we do is for that which would give us the greatest possible pleasure to receive. It is a sort of spiritual self-indulgence in which we engage and, as a consequence, is the exact opposite of self-discipline.

    By Carol McClain:  @carol_mcclain I’m going to share the least favorite verse of everyone:  “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry” Habakkuk 2:3 KJV. Who has time for waiting? Who …[ read more ]

    • The Extravagance of God

      @carol_mcclain When I see a flower I stop. I examine the bloom, look at it from all angles, check the smell, and at last--photograph it. Everything about flowers captivates me--texture, scent, color, size. My photo albums are full of pictures that probably bore others, but delight me. How could God have created such diversity? We know we live in an "unfair" world. Some people, with little effort or with family influence, have everything. Some because of race or religion have little. Despite this, God has strewn the world with beauty--free to anyone who will look. Besides flowers, fish intrigue me.… ...[ full story ]
