Morning friends, For me, Christmas is the season for quiet. For stillness. For reflection on the reality of “Emmanuel, God with us” Pray for me that I would know that God is in this place. So many places the Bible reminds us that the person didn’t realize that God was present when he was. How […]
The Difference Between Judging And Discerning
Morning friends, I’m up at our little cabin in the White Tank Mountains of Arizona. It’s an entirely different world than Phoenix up here.

Do I Stay Well Or Leave Well?
Morning Friends, It’s a 115 degrees in Phoenix today. Pizza oven hot. I’m grateful for the cool 70’s and regular rain up here in the mountains at our little cabin. It’s almost surreal how different both the climate and terrain is only 4 hours away. No sand. No Serrao cactus. Only beautiful green trees, pine […]

Morning friends, It’s been Nana camp again for this week in July. And it’s been fun. We’re going horseback riding tomorrow but the kids have been having a great time on our backyard zip line.

Is His Behavior Part Of His Recovery Or Part Of The Same Abuse?
Morning friends, Well, we had quite a challenging week at leslievernick.com. Our blog didn’t post correctly last Wednesday and therefore your responses weren’t showing up. Then we discovered other problems with people trying to access our CONQUER membership site. After two days of searching, we found that our hosting site had installed a plug-in that […]

Are Negative Consequences Unbiblical?
Morning friends, I am having a great week here in Arizona with my three loves. We are baking, taking walks, playing games, telling stories, talking and loving each other. They are so darn cute. When I was cooking a turkey breast for Christmas dinner, I opened the oven and my middle granddaughter, Leilani, said “What […]
