Pug Parables

Stories have long been a tried and true method of conveying subtle (or perhaps not so subtle) messages, perhaps even from the beginning of time. Allegories, fables, parables, fairy tales - even television shows, movies, and novels - most convey some sort of message. Jesus was a master storyteller, frequently using parables to convey simple truths to his followers while at the same time confounding his critics. And, it’s not at all uncommon for God to continue to speak to us today through ordinary circumstances that teach us more about who he is. One of the ways he’s done this for me was to speak through the life of a sweet, little dog named Sheba, who was a part of our family for more than 10 years. During her lifetime, the Lord repeatedly taught me lessons that I recorded in my journals; so here they are - Pug Parables, a collection of short, devotional-style stories that are sure to warm your heart.

I'm Still Standing

I’m Still Standing is a compilation of essays that grew out of Barbara’s journal entries as she battled breast cancer; all-the-while endeavoring to follow Paul’s advice to the Ephesians, “Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” (Ephesians 6:10-13 NIV) Fear versus faith, God’s faithfulness, and dealing with baldness as well as other side effects of chemotherapy are a few of the issues addressed. Barbara’s prayer is that her experiences will be an encouragement to others.
