I Guess It’s Time I Announce…
I have an agent! If you’ve been following my quest for an agent, then you know all about. If not you can read all about it! But the abbreviated version is that I’ve been prayerfully considering which agents I’d submit my proposal to. I narrowed it down to two, got to know these agents over…
Good Morning
He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught. Isaiah 50: 4 (NIV) Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Mark 1:35 (NIV) I am not a morning…
Purpose Driven Life
I have just begun reading The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. I’m on day 2 of a 40 day program. I have had this book for some time. Every once and a while I would look at it, but decide to wait to start it. Doesn’t that scream of a person who needs a…
ICRS Interview: John Morgan, President Bush Impersonator
Even though I knew I was interviewing John Morgan, President Bush Impersonator, when I passed him in the hall flanked by two men in dark suits, I did a double take. John Morgan was a delight to speak with and his story is very inspiring. You never know where God may lead you, but he’s…

God and Football

From the Inside Out!
Earlier this year I finished my novel Sweet September (Guideposts). It is an amazing story about acceptance. And about coming to terms with the course God has designed for you. It’s also a story about realizing that sometimes we need to stop looking at the destination (of striving to get “someplace”) and instead discover joy…
Fear of Falling
Sometimes in life you feel like a child racing down a snow-encrusted hill on the thin rails of one of those old wood and metal sleds. Remember them? Man, could we fly. When the snow was packed hard and the temperature was in the teens, those metal sleds were like white lightning. The freedom, the…
Dropping Breadcrumbs
Set up road signs; put up guideposts. Take note of the highway, the road that you take. Jeremiah 31:21 NIV Hansel and Gretel dropped breadcrumbs from their pockets in order to find the way back home. Unfortunately, birds and squirrels ate the tasty morsels, and the poor children were lost. The Israelite children…
