ACFW Day One: Living to Tell the Story!
I mentioned in a previous post how the day before I was to attend the ACFW I get a phone call that my sister had a heart attack. It was odd, but I had no concern for my sister’s health, just a peace that everything would be alright. Still the news posed several obstacles. Thankfully…
Fall into Reading 2007
I have a stack of books on my desk, and shelf and other desk and more arriving in the mail daily! So many books, so little time, so where do I start. Thanks to Katrina, I’m making a list and reading it once and It’s ALL FICTION…except for Amy Grant’s Mosaic. Nobody by Creston Mapes…
When Times Get Tough
I was writing a blog this weekend because I was tagged to participate in a game that Mary DeMuth started. What were you doing 10-20-30 years ago? This got me to thinking (sometimes a dangerous thing) about what I was doing. Ten years ago I was just starting to sell again after an eight-year dry…

Male Bonding Weekend!
Hubby and Chris are on their Passport to Purity Weekend. I’m excited for them (excited I don’t have to do it!) I know it will be a wonderful bonding and fun time for father and son. Before they left I had to write a letter to my son, my first born. Writing that letter I…

You walk to your computer, pondering on the strange noise, and as you start to…
Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe…Again
Joey wanted to audition for the show. last year he got a small part, but declined it. He had to make an on the spot decision and Joey is NEVER good at making quick choices. Later he was a little disappointed he didn’t get in the show, but enjoyed watching it. Chris was Edmund last…
