God’s Son Offers Gifts

October 31, 2019Heidi KortmanThursday ThanksGod the Son, Irrevocable, Offers Gifts, Relationship3 Comments

God’s Son Offers Gifts. Why? Unlike some of us, it’s not to manipulate, or put us under obligation to him, or even to quiet an uneasy conscience.  I’m thankful for that. God’s Son offers gifts because he wants those who are his to have the BEST, the gifts that are irrevocable. When I decided to

God’s Gift—God the Son

October 29, 2019Heidi KortmanTuesday TellsChristmas, creativity, free will, God the Son, God's Gift of Relationship8 Comments

God’s Gift of Relationship

October 24, 2019Heidi KortmanThursday ThanksBirthday, Church family, God's Gift of Relationship, Roofing, thankful17 Comments

Gifts? What About Them?

October 17, 2019Heidi KortmanThursday Thanksgift-giving, God's gifts and call, sharing gifts, spiritual gifts10 Comments

God’s gifts and call are irrevocable. As a Christian, I believe the statement is true. What ideas does it contain? Let’s start with the word gift. Webster’s Dictionary informs me that gift, when used as a noun, has been with the English language since the days of Chaucer’s Middle English. Definition First, it’s a notable

A Life Focused on Words

October 15, 2019Heidi KortmanTuesday Tellsnovel-writing, writing books, writing poetry25 Comments

Some who know me might say, “Words focus her life.” I’ve been reading since I was two. When I entered school, the idea of a story problem appealed to me, until I discovered that the expected answer involved numbers. Spelling and English made much more sense, and I reveled in composing essays that brought the
