Safe Place with Ruth Graham

There has been great discussion in recent days about evangelicals and President Trump. I have been slow to respond and remark. Evangelicalism and evangelicals are two separate things in my mind. I was saddened that the editor at Christianity Today, made his editorial about Mr. Trump. He could have made the same point by calling…

How many of us made promises this year we couldn’t keep? How many of us had someone break a promise to us? Promises are important. It breaks my heart when I see a child whose heart is broken because an adult didn’t keep their promise to him or her. Well, I have wonderful news! God…

There is so much rancor and conflict in our world. The idea of “Peace on Earth” sounds naive. Is it? In light of what is happening in Congress. In light of the prolonged war in Afghanistan and the upheaval in the Middle East. In light of all the shootings in our own cities and neighborhoods.…

Outside my house today is quite dreary – cold rain. This time of year if it is going to be cold, I’d rather it snow! But it isn’t and promises the dreary, cold, damp weather for the next couple of days. Not Christmasy at all. In contrast, inside my home are all the decorations: shiny…

I baked two 10 pound turkey’s this year rather than one great big one. I did it so the birds would be more tender and we’d have plenty of leftovers. They were tender and we did ave leftovers. A lot. And we enjoyed them but after so many days you get tired of them. So…

Tomorrow is National Gratitude Day, otherwise known as Thanksgiving Day. I have much to be thankful for this year – toping my list is that my two daughters now live in my same neighborhood. It is such fun to have them nearby – the grandkids popping in and out! I love it. And another blessing…

This week I was in Dallas to be interviewed by Glenn Beck about my new book, Forgiving My Father, Forgiving Myself, An Invitation to the Miracle of Forgiveness. It was a good interview and I appreciated the time Glenn gave to me on a very busy news day. It was recorded and will air some…

I recently published a book on forgiveness. Not that I am an expert – I am an apprentice. I am one who has struggled long and hard with this idea of forgiveness. I have had to forgive others for the pain they caused me. I’ve had to ask forgiveness from those I wounded. It’s been…

Dorian has ravaged the Bahamas and continues the agonizingly slow march up the Eastern seaboard. It seems the news programs can report on little else. The news that has consumed them for months has taken a back seat – swept from the headlines. That suits me. Perhaps we can focus more on more important issues…

My family is at the beach – a week we anticipate all year long! My youngest daughter could only be here 2 days because of the children’s school. My son came a 4 days but had to get back to work. My eldest will leave tomorrow because she is training for a marathon and has…
