Tricia Goyer: My Writing Life
MY WRITING LIFE: My writing journey began in 1994 when I attended my first writer’s conference with my friend, Cindy Martinusen. Cindy and I went to the same church and we both had dreams of becoming writers. Everything at Mt. Hermon was new to me, but I just followed the instructor’s directions. It took two…
It Just Makes Me Wonder…
The doors swung open, and I stepped through the red velvet curtain. A gentleman dressed in a red knee length suit jacket greeted me with a smile and handed me a paper. As I walked down the plush red carpet, dark silhouettes assaulted me with bright flashing lights. I stepped into the smoke filled room,…
Revolution Within
I’m going to observe the Silent Sabbath again. This time from Saturday night until Sunday night. But before I do, here’s a little sneak peak of what I’ll be studying tomorrow. I’ve started on a spiritual journey that has me intrigued and excited. Revolution Within and the companion workbook Experience Christ Within by Dwight Edwards…
Follow Up Interview Mary DeMuth
Tell us a little about your family and homeschool? I have three children: Sophie (13), Aidan (10), and Julia (8). We currently don’t homeschool; however I did homeschool Sophie for kindergarten and first grade because, at that time, I didn’t feel comfortable with the school system. How long have you been writing and what do…
Let Freedom Ring part 2
America: Return to God We’ve been studying the American Revolution and the celebration on Sunday was a great way to wrap up our unit. The church dramatized the founding father’s and their discussion of freedom. It was fun to see Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams come to life before our eyes. We had…
Let Freedom Ring part 1
On Sunday we attended an amazing service at a local mega church. They had advertised an “America: Return to God” patriotic service and since we’re between churches, we thought we’d go. The service was not lacking in patriotism or the spirit of God. The choir dressed in red, white and blue, belted out patriotic songs…
Meaningful Mondays
Well, I made it 21.5 hours without turning on the computer. I decided to log on because recently we’ve been allowing our 4 year old daughter to fall asleep in our bed with the lights out while I type on the computer. Breif history. She’s always been a terrific sleeper. One story, one kiss, turn…
Silent Sabbath Sundays
I’m trying something new in the effort to curb my blogging time. I’m going dark on Sundays. Yep, you heard it right. I’m not even going to turn on my computer. Gulp. I can’t believe I just wrote that. I’ve noticed I’m slipping back into my old habits, running to the computer more than God.…
There’s a Place for Us…
We’ve been churchless for over a year now. Some times I feel like singing the theme song to “West Side Story.” “There’s a place for us. Some where a place for us…” You get the picture. Visiting church after church, Sunday after Sunday isn’t easy. But the kids have been good sports and living in…
Dodged a Bullet Tonight
A couple of weeks ago my nine year old son started reading the Bible. His goal was to read from Genesis all the way through. I thought it was a great idea and I was so proud that he would be interested in this on his own. It also coincided with a Bible dramatization tape…
