    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. He had one day. Of course, that day threatened rain. The wind already picked up and promised to deliver what the weatherman predicted. This couldn’t …[ read more ]

    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 ]

  • How To Approach God

    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. God knows all this and keeps His children asking…And no matter …[ read more ]

    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 ]

    • Your Past Can Be Forgiven: Rahab

      @carol_mcclain Is your past unforgiveable? Definitely not. Consider Rahab, one of the ancestors of Jesus, mentioned in Matthew 1:5. She was a prostitute. No one chooses this lifestyle. In ancient Israel, women found few avenues of employment. If unmarried or widowed, they very often had to turn to prostitution in order to survive. Who wants to have non-stop sex with strangers? According to the Shalvi/Hyman Encyclopedia of Jewish Women: [caption id="attachment_2044" align="alignleft" width="200"] No one's fallen so low that God can't redeem.[/caption] "Rahab, who begins as triply marginalized—Canaanite, woman, and prostitute—moves to the center as bearer of a divine message… ...[ full story ]
