Writing for God’s Kingdom: Sharing Stories That Help Others

Stories are powerful—they make us laugh, teach us important lessons, and help us feel close to each other.

He found him in a desert land, and in the howling waste of the wilderness; he encircled him, he cared for him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. Deuteronomy 32:10-11   For this is what the LORD Almighty says: “Whoever touches you touches the pupil of My eye.” Zechariah 2:8: When that soccer ball is aimed at your eye or when an eyelash, trash, or sand gets in your eye, what’s your immediate reaction?
