Who is Jesus?
If you spend any amount of time browsing or reading this blog you know this question is not referring to my fundamental belief that Jesus is the Son of God. So who is Jesus, to you? Is He still a tiny baby in a manger who you think about once or twice a year? Someone…
A Gift From Above
(c) Gina Conroy October 25, 1990 While asking the Lord what I should write for this Sunday, He reminded me of a Chritmas song I wrote over 15 years ago. Though you won’t be able to hear the tune over the internet, may the words reach down deep into your soul! A Gift From Above…

Blogger or Writer?
I have a confession to make. Okay, well it’s not actually a NEW confession because I’ve stated it here at Portrait of a Writer many times. There’s a HUGE little part of me that needs daily comments validation from you people, and I could probably delve into my dysfunctional past to tell you all the…
Christmas Version of First Cornithians 13
Not sure who the writer of this is, but wanted to pass it along. If I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls, but do not show love to my family, I’m just another decorator.

Fall Into Reading Wrap Up
Wow! What an awesome challenge! I’m a competitive person so this challenge really helped me focus on the books I said I would read. When it came time to pick up another fiction book, I heard that little voice (don’t know if it was Katrina’s or not) but it said, “Your non-ficiton book list has…

It was supposed to be a quiet evening…
No gymnastics. No play practice. Just a quiet evening at home doing some Christmasy stuff. Then Grace pulls the “I’m afraid of monsters card” like she does every other night. Hubby puts Grace to bed because Grace clings to me like a baby chimp and won’t let go if I put her to bed. Joey…
