Steven had lost not only his best friend of forty-three years but also his most enthusiastic encourager. Brokenhearted, he lost his passion to write. In 2020, Steven was hospitalized, wondering if he'd survive COVID, and the Holy Spirit let him know, in no uncertain terms, that it was time to break free from past hurts and disappointments, start living in the present, and do what God had called him to do.
