Are You Good Enough to be Healed?
Illness helps you sort out who your real friends are. Often people you never realized cared for you step up and provide incredible support.

I know many of you have suspected this about me for quite some time. Certainly my husband has. But now it’s confirmed in black-and-white. I have a screw loose. In the interest of full disclosure, I must tell you that this is not an x-ray of my loose screw. There wasn’t time to get a copy …

Walking with Friends in the Dark
In those nerve-wracking few days between my diagnosis and my surgery, I announced to my husband, “We need a pastor—and I don’t mean you!” I think he could tell by the distraught look on my face that I was serious, so he called our good friend David Dunn, pastor of a sister church in …

ME: I don’t think so. I think I gave them all to her already. ABBY: Can you just check? ME: Sure, I can do …
