St. Patrick: Who was he really?
I don’t think I really started to think about St. Patrick, the man until I got married to an Irish/German/American, and had kids. Growing up, St. Patrick’s Day was all about wearing green and drinking beer. Yet, if St. Patrick was alive today, I think he’d be heartbroken over what his name has come to…
The End is in SIGHT and a Question about Submitting
I’m almost there! I can see the finish line of my WIP, but will I have the energy to cross it? And when I do will I dare to be satisfied with it! I’m sort of a perfectionist, but I know that one day I’ll have to send it out. In the past I sent…

Kids, homeschool and writing, Oh my!
There are days I question my sanity. And days when my husband does the very same. 😉 When I married, I had no plans to homeschool three children, be a published author, be president of a writers’ group, teach high school seniors, speak, do interviews, blog, participate in a homeschool group, a home group, and…
Life’s a Three Ring Circus
This past weekend we took the kids and my mom to the local circus. It’s always a thrill to sit in the big arena and watch all the animal, dare devil and acrobatic acts. Though while my eyes flitted from ring to ring trying to soak it all in I noticed my little girl was…
When I Am Weak
My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9 I don’t like to feel like a weak person. I’m sure it stems from my childhood. Growing up, I remember my dad screaming and yelling all the time. It was either that, or he wouldn’t speak to anyone…
Wordful Wednesday
