Flaptekst

I am blessed to have been born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina--the Holy City. With her rich history, culture, and traditions spanning many generations, I am taken back in time as I walk along the cobblestone streets, stroll the Battery, take a carriage ride, and admire the historic homes and beautiful iron gates.
Surrounded by water, wetlands, sandy beaches, and steeples rising far above the rooftops, this city by the sea will lure you into her beauty. Explore the waterways and marshlands, feel the soft beach sand between your toes, and observe the abundant birds and wildlife, and you too will be captivated by the treasures in this beautiful city and its surroundings.
I have learned so many life lessons in the marshes, creeks, rivers, and beaches that surround this beautiful city. I still love to watch the sunsets, smell the pluff mud, and listen to the sound of the ocean as it breaks over the beach.
The excitement never diminishes when a fish nibbles at my line, or I pull up a net full of shrimp, or chase a crab on the dock with his claws snapping in defense.
I still love the feel of the wind on my face as I travel on a boat along the waterways. The nature and beauty that surround me give me a great spirit of peace, hope, faith, and love. I am able to see God's great creation everywhere I turn. I feel very close to my Creator here. I cannot possibly thank God enough for all the many blessings He has bestowed on me.
Most of the devotions in this book come from true stories of my experiences in this beautiful place and the way these adventures have led to the faith I now have and want to share with you.
I hope you will enjoy them too.
