Remember that Bible passage: “. . . . if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” But what about when, in spite of our best prayer efforts, that mountain won’t move? We…

The Last Book In The Bible
Over my long church life I have gained from being under the instruction of many astute pastors who through their sermons have been great teachers to me. Often pastors will use the “sermon series” approach to preaching, and usually that is a meaningful way to preach and teach. (We won’t say anything just now about…
Thoughts Of Home
I came across this article written by our granddaughter Jenna Read as a school project when she was 11. I am impressed with the honesty and love that comes through and, although I admit to being proudly prejudiced, I am also very impressed with the untrained, natural wordcrafting it displays.

Using The Bible Effectively
Through my long business life I tried to find the most reliable information, seeking reliable sources and materials. When I left the business world and, (by accident it seems), moved on to a career as a Christian writer, I continued my obsession with seeking reliable reference. When I write Christian drama based on Biblical happenings…

An Early Christmas
Wow! As I sat down to write, my thoughts strayed to Christmas. Do you realize that this special time is only six months away? Some of you will say “oh there is plenty of time to think of that later, let’s get through the summer”. Then there are the serious planners that say “maybe we…

Imagine it, June is over half done! Camp will have…
Meeting Between Two Mothers
Dear followers of DramaShare; My name is Judy Alexander and with my husband John, we more than 30 years ago were mysteriously led to Christian drama. To be honest it was not something we planned, but happenings since then have proven that it was God’s plan! Fast forward to today we have become the largest…
Of Diaries And Years
One of my favourite times at the beginning of a new year is opening my new agenda planner. (Yes I still keep an old fashioned hardcopy planner, in spite of the fact that I also have the modern, and much more efficient, thing on my computer). As I open my brand new book it represents…
