The Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught. –Isaiah 50: 4 Raising kids has been an adventure for me, and I never expected to learn so much while serving in the…
Read MoreThe story behind Forsaken Canyon
I had so much fun writing Forsaken Canyon, and yet it was a hard book to write. Suspense stories with a strong mystery have to be carefully mapped out. You have to put just the right red herrings in but also keep the pace moving. I chose to write about the Lost City of Gold…

Read MoreIf I Had…One Month to Live 2
Yesterday I talked about what I would do if I had one month to live. Top of the list is not clean and probably abandon what little parenting skills I have. After all, I’d want my last moments on earth to be fun and stress free! I’d want to have everyone’s last memories of me…
