Pawpaw's Little Angels
Oh my… what is going on here?
It appears you've stumbled into a place of wonder, holiness, and fanciful imagination — which is exactly why Pawpaw really shouldn't leave the door open. And if shiny things distract you, don't worry. There's plenty of that, too.
Meet Pawpaw's Little Angels — Gracie, Luna, and Rosie — his angelic granddaughters, angels of faith, hope, and charity.
They come to visit from time to time. And yes, they're allowed to do that. Permission is granted with smiles, which, just between you and me, I don't think they can tell the difference.
Whimsical stories for children. Deeper stories for grown-up hearts. Every adventure brings a little glimpse of Heaven's grace, mixed with Pawpaw's faith, love, and imagination.
“My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness...”
Luke 20:36 · Matthew 18:4-5 · Matthew 18:10

Poor Pawpaw! First, a big hairy spider nearly sends the morning into chaos, and then his wheelchair falls apart. Little Gracie, Luna, and Rosie are heartbroken, but can they make things right? Gracie rushes to help, but Heaven has rules, and this time no miracles are allowed! Even though she doesn't understand, she'll do her best. A heartwarming tale of unanswered prayers and learning to trust the Lord even when His answer is no.
It's barely four in the morning, and Pain is already doing his very worst. But Pawpaw insists on praising the Lord, much to the disgust of Heck's miserable little devils. Soon, the Lil' Debils are scheming, squabbling, and marching off to finish the troublesome old saint. But what happens when Heck's peskiests run headlong into Heaven's little cuteys? We shall see! This day is going to be anything but ordinary!
Gracie gets her Little Minister’s permit and heads to Earth in disguise to do good deeds. Unfortunately, a certain little devil has other ideas—and his little scheme is a real fright! Things get a little spooky — and a whole lot silly! Can Gracie's heavenly wisdom see through the infernal nonsense? Somebody's in for a surprise!
One minute Pawpaw's enjoying a lovely winter's day, and the next he's lying in the snow and in big trouble. Gracie, Luna, and Rosie rush to help, but, as usual, they're not allowed to miracle! With Heck's miserable little devils lurking about and a winter storm closing in, what are three little angels to do? Well, when you can't perform miracles, it's time to call in a few furry friends! Now this could get interesting!
Gracie accidentally travels back in time and meets Pawpaw as a little boy. She discovers secrets about his past she never could have imagined!
Oh no! “The Boys” are the Lil’ Debils! Surely they aren't invited to Luna and Rosie's afternoon tea party? Oh, my cuppy cakes, this doesn't seem right!
Somehow, the Lil’ Debils gang got permission to kidnap Pawpaw! Now it’s up to Gracie, Luna, and Rosie to launch a rescue mission. Will they succeed, or succumb to the little devils’ outrageous demands? Packed with wacky inventions, assorted hijinks, and gloriously ridiculous wordplay, this story proves that when faith, friendship, and a little bit of mischief collide, things can take some very unexpected turns!

Author’s Note:
The three little girls in these stories are loosely inspired by Pawpaw’s late granddaughters, shaped by love, memory, and imagination.
These characters and their adventures are works of fiction. They grew out of the simple desire to imagine who these little ones might have become, and to offer readers the same comfort and wonder they first offered me.
“Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God.” — Mark 10:14
I believe it — every bit of it.
These stories are fiction — soft, reverent, and written for anyone who has ever loved and lost. They are not instructions, rituals, or attempts to contact the departed. Scripture forbids that, and I honor that boundary.
Scripture also shows God comforting His people in ways that surprise us, and Pawpaw’s decades of quiet faith gave me a place to imagine what heaven’s tenderness might look like when God brings comfort to His children.
So if these little visits from the “angels of faith, hope, and charity” warm your heart, let them do so without fear. They are not promises — only gentle stories rooted in the truth that God sees the faithful, remembers the grieving, and delights to show mercy.
The characters in these stories are fictional, symbolic figures inspired in part by both the living and the deceased, but not intended as literal portrayals of any specific person.
