Why, Lord?
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. Isaiah 9:2 NIV I glide down the highway, the taste of Diet Coke and potato chips lingering. My thoughts are louder than the radio, so I turn the music…
Read MoreWhat are you passionate about?
Your husband? Hopefully. Your kids? Yes. God. YES! What about the stuff you do in your daily life? Can you honestly say you’re following your passions? This is a quote from Debbie Macomber’s book Knit Together. If you haven’t read it, you should. I highly recommend it. It’s about Debbie’s journey to becoming a NY…
Read MoreWin The Ultimate Pepsi Super Bowl Party Pack!
About the only time I watch football is during the Superbowl. And the only time I get excited is when the Giants are playing. (My roots go NY deep.) I don’t even know who’s in the play offs right now, and probably won’t even know who’s playing until the big day, but I know a…
Read MoreThe Mission Minded Family
My husband and I first got to know each other on a missions trip to Nigeria, Africa. We were both passionate about missions and fell in love with the Nigerian people. I went a second summer and spent six months on a missions internship. He went on missions to Mexico over Spring Break. When we…
Read MoreOn Transparency With Self
Okay, so we talked about being honest with God and being honest with others–not easy things to do–but before we can do that we have to be honest with our self–maybe the hardest of all. Why is it so hard to be honest with our self? To see our self as we truly are? Pride.…
Read MoreThe Perfect Match by Susan May Warren
Susan May Warren is a WONDERFUL and GENEROUS writer who shares what she knows! And her books prove she knows what she shares! I always learn something new when I listen to her and it seems like the girl has an unlimited wealth of knowledge. I can’t wait to crack the binding and dig into…
Read MorePublishing is NOT Dead Yet!
And how do I know? Because several of my unpublished friends have received contracts in the last TWO to THREE months! Let me count, Ronie, Myra, Christa, and I know I’m forgetting one or two others, but that gives me hope. What also gives me hope is my agent who’s working for me and said…
Read MoreThemed Dinners
I’d like to be able to take credit for this, but I can’t. Years ago, I subscribed to several magazines and always tore out pages of ideas, put them in a three ring binder and then never looked at them again. Well, with the internet so convenient and our recent move, I thought I didn’t…
Read MoreWriting Fearlessly
Lately I’ve been thinking about living life fearlessly. What would my life look like if I lived in the moment, lived each day to its fullest, and took this life without fear. What could I accomplish? Who would I impact? How would God be glorified? And that gets me thinking about writing fearlessly. Look, we…
Read MoreA New Me!
Just wrote a whole post on this and lost it, so it’ll be the condensed version. I’ve had enough of the holiday sugar and fat and I’m joining the hundreds of others for the Sparkpeople New You Boot camp. So far the ten minute videos have been easy. I’m sure they’ll get more grueling as…
