Margaret may never know what an angel she is and how she reveals something of Heaven on Earth that cannot be told, but only seen. Sometimes I hear people reason about angels, and question whether or not they are real. Well, I saw a real angel—a hungry and homeless angel. And her name is Margaret.

Fashion, style, and charm. All of these make up a fine image… or do they? How we look matters, but maybe not in the way we might think. Celebrities, for example, are deeply concerned about their image. They often work with a publicist to help clean up their appearance after they feel their image has been blemished. The hope is to sway the perception of the public eye and remain popular.

A few years ago, I was faced with a situation where I needed help. I did all of the above. I asked everyone except God. Usually, I go to God first. But this time my problem seemed so overwhelming that I instinctively ran to the physical things that I could touch or see with my natural senses. What’s the problem with that approach? It’s not grounded in faith.

This past weekend, my husband Arnie and I went to see an advanced showing of "To Save A Life", produced by Outreach Films and New Song Pictures. The indie feature file opens theatrically nationwide in January 2010. From my media kit: "To Save A Life" is the story of an all-star athlete, Jake Taylor (Randy Wayne). After a childhood friend’s death, Jake’s world spins out of control and he has to make changes in his life and sacrifice some dreams to save the lives of others.

What happens when you get over 7,000 Christian girls ages 12-17 together? An incredibly fun God party with all your best friends! The Revolve Tour hosts mega events for teenage girls in cities all over the country every year. While at the Fort Worth, Texas, conference, I sat down with Jenna Lucado, Revolve Tour speaker and author of "Redefining Beautiful" to talk about God’s great love.

The other day I was shopping at a popular store and a poster advertisement caught my eye. It said, “Get Everything and Pay Nothing!” A beautiful girl holding shopping bags was on the ad. I thought how does that really work? How do you get everything and pay nothing?

Receive Grace: Have you planned a pathway? Getting there with God is the way to go!
Reveal Grace: So, you’ve got it all figured out -- huh? You may not have the foggiest idea what direction to take in life. Either way, there’s some helpful wisdom to following God’s path and living a pure life.

Last night as I washed my face before bed, something interesting occurred to me. I looked into the mirror. A blonde raccoon looked back at me. It was my own reflection, only I had a humongous black mask around my eyes. My mascara had smudged all over my face.

Once you have given your whole heart to Jesus, guilt from the past cannot plague your mind with regret. If it does happen, it is not God’s doing. It’s the enemy, plain and simple.
