Has it really been three months since our last newsletter? People talk about time flying when you are having fun, but it also flies when you are super busy. And it’s an added bonus when you’re having fun while you are super busy. I have to admit, though, that there are some things that have […]

His Heart’s Desire News – July 2021
Hi everyone! I hope this finds you enjoying your summer (well, it’s summer here in the Texas Panhandle, anyway). I don’t mean to sound whiny, but summer is my least favorite season. Aside from the sometimes extreme heat we experience in the Lone Star State, when we do get relief with moisture, we have to […]
24 Years and Counting!
Today, July 19, 2021, Steven and I are celebrating 24 years of marriage! I am so grateful for this man. He was an amazing answer to the heartfelt prayer of a girl who had given up on her ability to choose the man for her. While going through my second divorce, I meant it when I […]
Our Eternal Safety and Security in Christ
July 4, 2021, will go down as the most memorable Independence Day of my 56-plus years. Not because of an amazing fireworks show or fun celebration with family and friends (although we did get to enjoy time with family). But because of what happened on my morning walk with my beagle, Joe. Around 8 a.m., […]
There’s Gonna Be Brighter Days
Are you going through circumstances where you are longing to sense God’s loving embrace and hear Him whisper to you, “There’s gonna be brighter days up ahead”? Gut-wrenching circumstances where you desperately need to experience the hope of change? First, let me say that I am sorry for the pain you are going through right […]
My Grace Story
As I look back on my fifty-eight years of living, I truly understand why God’s grace is often described as amazing. His one-of-a-kind, no-matter-what love for Kim K. Francis continues to astound me. I was raised in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles of the good ole U.S. of A. My dad worked in the oilfield […]
His Heart’s Desire News – April 2021
(This newsletter contains a preview of my newest book, His Banner over Me Is Sustaining Love, that will be released this summer.) Happy Spring, everyone! I love this time of year—the time when we see signs of new life springing up everywhere. Daffodils and lilacs. Singing doves, robins, bluejays, and sitting on our swing in […]
What Happened at the Cross – Part 2
Good Friday means so much more to me today than it did two decades ago. Don’t get me wrong. What it represented to me then was wonderful. Christ shed His blood on the cross for the forgiveness of my sins so that, through faith, I could live forever in Heaven with Him (John 3:16; Eph. […]
What Happened at the Cross – Part 1
Right before my tenth birthday, I heard the gospel for the first time. It was a crisp fall evening in a white stucco church in my tiny home town. The traveling evangelist shared a message that captured my heart. He said that I was a sinner destined for Hell, but God loved me and provided […]
The Christian’s Eternal Spring in Christ
According to our local weather men, the spring season has officially arrived. Of course, this is different from the vernal equinox, which will happen on Monday, March 20, 2023. Regardless of whether it is the meteorological spring or the vernal equinox, those of us in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles know not to put away our winter […]
