Join me in exploring God’s goodness in every era. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! (Hebrews 13:8)
Remember the former days
when you endured a harsh conflict of suffering after you were enlightened… for you need endurance in order to do God’s will and so receive what is promised.
Hebrews 10:32 and 36

Elizabethan England
Knights and damsels, noblemen and ladies, and the rags-to-riches rise of a beloved character are staples of stories set during the reign of the first Queen Elizabeth. Soaring castles, sword fights, and class struggles are a rich backdrop for characters to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles and fall in love. Destiny Delayed is a delightful romp through England and Scotland during an era in which honor is as important as wealth.
