Another heart episode sent me to the hospital, where a book about Jacob helped me confront my stubbornness and remember that God never gives up on us.
A Caribbean cruise gave me more than time away. Through family moments, beautiful islands, unexpected frustration, and a stranger’s prayer, God reminded me to slow down and stop missing the life already in front of me.

False accusations can damage reputations, relationships, and lives. Chuck Swindoll’s teaching from Job offers powerful biblical lessons about staying calm, speaking truth, trusting God, and refusing to let accusations define you.
