Christians, love thy neighbor on social media. Please!

January 27, 2019 | by Kelly Irvin| in Blog

Recently, my Christian fiction writing group had a discussion, trying to decide if we should have a session to discuss the pros and cons of using social media as a platform for what we believe as Christians.

In 1998, my son Nicholas attended the second grade. He loved playing Olly Olly Oxen Free with a posse of neighborhood kids. Our daughter Erin was in third grade.

November 18, 2018 | by Kelly Irvin| in Blog

As we celebrate this thanksgiving season, I look back on this year and find that I have so much for which to be thankful, I’m not even sure where to begin. The last few years have been difficult, but the blessings have been many. I practice giving thanks every day, all year long. It’s a …
