Storytellers inspire me. A great story can change lives, and I am grateful for all the great stories that have impacted my life over the years. I have been writing Bible journals/devotionals since April 2020, and as of August 2020 I have begun work on writing short stories as well. I hope to inspire others, just like the many who have inspired me.

Many of my short stories on Reedsy are part of a bigger plotline. Here is the complete canon list of the stories in this series numbered in the best order to read them. If one of these stories is not on Reedsy, I have included a link to where the story can be read. Feedback on any tales in this saga is welcome and appreciated!
