Dial 911 – I’ve Hung an Ornament Impostor!
Dastardly Ornament Impostor!“Hey Mom! Whose ornament is this?” Grace yelled from the other room. Like every year before, we put up our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving and in less than twenty-four hours it had already fallen down. Lovely. Grace was busy trying to salvage the ornaments that crashed to the floor while we slept. “Which … [Read more...]
Advent Season – Jotham’s Journey
Did you know Advent season begins this Sunday? Did you know each color of the candles in an Advent wreath represent something different? Does your family pay attention to this part of the Christmas season? We didn’t. Sure, we've heard a few teachings from pastors over the years, but we've never been inspired to do anything more.

Bogging- He’ll Never Understand
From the kitchen I could hear my husband talking to a dinner guest in our family room, "Yeah, my wife has a blog.

But what do those words really mean?The truth is, the longer I am on this road of faith, and the closer I walk with Him, the more He shows me parts of … [Read more...]
Thanksgiving Smells Delicious
That title is a bit misleading. I'm not talking about the leftovers that can stink up your fridge days after the holiday, or the way Aunt Gertie shows up on Thanksgiving wearing her dime-store perfume that lingers for weeks after she goes home. No, I'm talking about the cinnamon, pumpkin, turkey-in-the-oven smells. Which Thanksgiving … [Read more...]
Manuscript Launched!
At 11:18pm last night, 53,521 words were launched into cyberspace. Their destination? Two computers—one in an office in Kansas City, the other in Colorado Springs. My manuscript now awaits the eyes of my editor and agent. Oddly enough, a feeling of relief hasn’t hit me yet. Maybe because I know this is far from over…really only the … [Read more...]
Perspective-People
Cheryl lost her husband this year after a tragic car accident. After almost thirty years of marriage, she now sits without him in church on Sundays. It physically pains me to see her sitting with her teenage son and without her other half. Elaine was diagnosed with breast cancer this summer. A brilliant author-speaker and mother of four, … [Read more...]
