The Cry for Submission: Letter from the Editor by Emily Fales
Contemplation and vocation
The plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations. (Psalm 33:11) As a pupil under the tutelage of my wonderful Mom (and home-school teacher) I was taught to make Bible verse memory a part of the daily routine.

April 2011 Prayer Letter
April 2011 As the Lenten season continues and Easter approaches, I would like to share a short reflection on this Season and the resurrection of our Savior. For many Christians Lent is a time of fasting, penitence, sacrifice, and coming to terms with our humanity as we remember Christ embracing His humanity on the cross.…

March 2011 Prayer Letter
March 2011 Dear Friends, As I write it is my first day back at the center after four days of staying home sick. I had some sort of flu virus that seems to have finally turned into just a cold. I would ask you to pray for me, but I hope that by the time…
