I’m a history buff and enjoy the “people stories” behind the facts. It’s easy to look at historical figures as simply people in a book or faces looking back at us from sculptures, portraits, or photographs and forget that these were real people, just like us. None of them knew how things were going to turn out. They […]
About a month ago I found a YouTube video of some worship music that I could actually hear the music. I’m fairly hard of hearing and wear hearing aids. Music is especially challenging for me, even with hearing aids, which is a major frustration for someone who used to have an excellent ear for music. This music
Yes, I remember EdenThat place from long agoThe trees of green, the sky so blue, And gentle winds did blow All creatures dwelt in amityWith each other and with manThey had no fear of Adam and EveAs side by side they ran All creatures knew their MakerThe fellowship was sweetTheir voices raised in harmonyAs they worshipped

I’ve been spending time rereading one of my favorite authors and trying out a series by a new (to me) author. I truly believe that reading makes you better writer, speaker, and thinker; and I encourage you to find a favorite author and a book to enjoy. (And for those of you who aren’t into sitting with

It reads, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Over the years, I’ve had several realizations about this passage that I’d like to share with

Well, I had something for next week all planned out this morning, and in a matter of about four hours it got cancelled and will have to be rescheduled. Again, I’m drawn to a favorite scene from C.S. Lewis’ book “Perelandra.” Like Adam and Eve, Maleldil (the Christ figure) has told the man and woman they

Well, I actually DO have a good excuse for not writing the past few weeks. My hubby and I have been taking a sign language class during the summer semester at the local community college. We’re trying to learn sixteen weeks’ worth of material condensed into ten weeks. Although we’re not trying to get out of the class
“This month’s character trait – compassion.” Every morning I walk past a local elementary school whose electronic marquee displays, among other things, a character trait they’re emphasizing during that month. One month it was self-control, one month it was kindness, one month it was honesty. Sounds like a good idea. But when I saw compassion on the list,
I was thinking about the time we rented a pontoon boat and went down to the river with friends. We pulled an inner tube behind the boat like skiing and everyone was having a great time on the tube, including the young lady who was paralyzed on her right side due to a brain hemorrhage when she

I’m looking for some helpful souls to read one or both of my books and write a review on Amazon. The first book is a Christian historical fiction of the life of the Prophet Daniel, written from his perspective, less than 100 pages. The other is what I consider in the fantasy genre but might
