As I work doggedly to fine-tune the first three chapters of my first novel, create a one-sheet, synopsis, and a proposal for the ACFW conference, my nerves once again take over. It’s a thing I deal with before conferences. Frustrating. I lose sleep; ideas pop into my head at all hours of the night and [...]

Apologies to my Techno-Wise Readers!

My daughter suggests if I want advice on the computer problem I mentioned in this morning’s post, I maybe shouldn’t refer to my technology-wise friends as “geeks”! My grandson, age 5, knows better than that! He knows which side his bread is buttered on, and knows just who to “butter up.” So I’ll take her [...]
Days of Their Lives

I’ve started reading Tyndale’s Chronological Bible. Very interesting!! It’s arranged so you read the Bible in a year - in the order it happened! God’s people and The Days of Their Lives. It skips around some; ie…lots of Genesis and 1 Chronicles together; parts of Daniel, 2 Kings, and Jeremiah together, etc. I got interested in the [...]

And the ingredients for a couple of big recipes - for tomorrow’s church dinner- sit in the freezer, fridge, and cans…waiting to be assembled.
I spent most [...]

What an impressive collection of writers and titles! Here’s the picture of my friend Rhonda Gibson, award-winning author for the Novellas category, that flashed across the screen as her award [...]

Pray that the Spirit’s freedom will show
in all your writings, that the [...]

God never stops blessing!
I’m so glad to be home. Missed my hubby and I think he missed me. He didn’t eat any of the TV dinners I stuck in the freezer for him, but ate the entire pot of tortilla soup I made up right before I left. Ahh. He still prefers my cooking! It felt so [...]

Beautiful weather! It feels like fall here today. I just returned from the American Christian Fiction Writers Conference in Denver. Wow! What an experience! Met lots of new folks and learned so much. My friend Rhonda Gibson won another award, and I enjoyed attending the conference with another precious friend, Connie Peters. God has blessed [...]
