On My Mind
Front Porch on the Old Home Place
The old home place. Is that expression familiar to you? If not, you may be a city dweller. I’ve heard it all my life. Especially from my mother when she’d talk about the farm she grew up on. With a few acres and a lot of work, her family made a living from the farm. … Continue reading
Arts and Crafts—are they for you?
Crafts are a popular past time and have been for many years. My mother made beautiful quilts. She sat with tiny pieces piled around her favorite easy chair while she sewed them together with needle and thread. Yep, no easy sewing machine for her. Most of her pieces were only one to two inches across, … Continue reading
Book Therapy–P.J. Sugar
Today, I’d like to talk about Susan May Warren’s P.J. Sugar series, starting with Nothing But Trouble. It’s a three-book series featuring a character with a not-so-stellar past who’s trying to change her ways and honor God with her new life choices. The first book begins with rejection from her aspiring-pastor boyfriend and … Continue reading
What’s Your New Year’s Resolution?
For the last few weeks, as the New Year approached, I began thinking about goals. You can call them resolutions if you’d like, but I prefer the word goal as it doesn’t sound so daunting. I looked the two words up in my dictionary and found that resolution is more of a firm decision, while … Continue reading
Jesus’ Birth From a Writer’s Perspective
Ahh. Two days before Christmas. How many millions of thoughts have been offered concerning the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ? Kind of hard to bring something new to our blog. But then I’m a writer of fiction. And that means characters, their personalities, traits, and human qualities. Do we see these traits … Continue reading
He Leadeth Me
When we were in our home in Washington State, we generally made plans in advance: next summer we’re going to Colorado or next weekend we’re having the Smiths for dinner. Like most people. Living in an RV, life can be spontaneous. Sometimes a little too much spur-of-the-moment for me. Yet living life in the moment can … Continue reading
Thankful for God’s Sovereignty – A Personal Story of Thanksgiving
The things I’m thankful for each year change as circumstances change. But one thing which remains consistent is my gratitude to the Lord. I am thankful for salvation through Jesus Christ, for Christian fellowship, and at my age I’m especially thankful for good health. If you ask me next year, I’ll say the same thing. … Continue reading
Thankful for His Sovereignty
As I struggle for ideas of what to write on my appointed posting day for this website, and I run through the possibilities of joining the “thankful” crowd of bloggers while considering all I need to do to prepare for the upcoming holiday, I just came up blank. I wanted to do something different, but … Continue reading
Poking Holes
I urge first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to … Continue reading
You Are Important
I’m still rejoicing in the privilege of attending the 2011 ACFW conference. But I have to admit I felt like a small fish in a gigantic ocean. As a person who struggles with self esteem, I had to continue to remind myself I am valuable to God. Being surrounded by hundreds of talented authors can … Continue reading
