Tom the Preacher

I am grateful to all who are joining me on my journey of grief after losing my beloved wife, Roz. Today, I want to take you to her art studio, which she called her "sanctuary." A sanctuary is a holy place where you meet with God. I'll also read a few select entries from her journal.

I hate to admit it, but I've been finding it difficult to pray since Roz's death. Maybe you feel the same way. Join me for today's Daily Word & Prayer to find out what I'm doing about it. Find out more about my ministry at https://linktr.ee/realtomshort

We lost a good one. People offering condolences have told me Roz was the BEST person they had ever met. For he to be gone in her prime raises questions that may not have an answer, or worse, might give me an answer I wouldn't want to hear.  This morning, as I continue processing the sudden, unexpected death of my wife, I'm thinking through some tough questions. I'm using my Daily Wo...
