A Prayer when you’re Running on Empty
I feel like the last couple of weeks I’ve been coasting down hill, running on empty. Like many people, my life has become insanely busy and the more important things have been pushed to the curb or all together forgotten. Often times I’ve thought of pulling off the interstate to refuel, but obstacles in the…
Scripture Memory–Kid Style
Scripture Memory–Kid Style (c)Tricia Goyer, 9/2006 This morning, I read a great blog on Home-steeped Hope about teaching Scripture memory to kids. You can read it here. Anyway, it got me thinking about our family’s efforts of memorizing Scripture verses through the years. I will be starting my 13th year of homeschooling this year, and…
After the Call
I recently told you about The Really Long First Call. And then what happens after the first contract has been signed? In a word, Wait. But eventually, after we come back down to earth, we get back to work. Every writer is different, but here are a few things I’ve been working on while I…

It’s Real Life
When you think of “the life of a writer,” what do you think of? I imagine an older lady who lives near the ocean, alone with her cat. She walks the beach and collects shells, then later she works with words the same way: Searching for them, studying them, gathering them, and displaying them. My…
Mid-Week Love Motivation
Starting Your Day Out Right! Devotional Thought I Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a…
