My family has officially moved to the Texas Hill Country. Granted, two-thirds of our belongings are still waiting in our previous house for the movers to load it up and bring it next weekend, but at least we’re here! We did bring two trailers worth of stuff ourselves, and we have nearly all of that […]
Sunday Edition 04/15/18
If you saw my blog post the other day, you read that my family and I are moving to south Texas by the end of the month. The last time we moved was three years ago, but apparently I’d forgotten how much work goes into the whole ordeal. On Friday, we rented a small U-Haul […]
Spring: New Life and New Changes
Spring is my favorite season. Not only does it bring warmer weather, but it means the appearance of bluebonnets, one of my favorite flowers. Every time I see a patch of them on the side of the road, it brings a smile to my face. Unfortunately, we don’t have a lot of them in the […]
Sunday Edition 04/08/18
I hope you are all having a good weekend so far. It seems like weather has been extreme in a lot of places. For us, we enjoyed highs in the 80s on Friday, then a high of 35’F on Saturday. Then today, we’re supposed to have a high of 78’F. If allergies weren’t enough to […]
Sunday Edition 04/01/18
Happy Easter! This is my first Sunday with you all, and I’m excited to be here. I saw these Easter lilies at the store the other day and had to get a picture. I’m not sure I’ve ever bought an Easter lily myself, but when I see them, I think of spending Easter at my […]
Cover Reveal and Giveaway
I don’t know about you all, but there’s just something about a shiny new book cover that makes me smile. I especially love how the cover for Marrying Raven, the second book in the Brides of Clearwater series, came out. This cover was fun because I worked with a friend of mine, who is a […]
Faith is a Choice
Faith. It’s a little word with a LOT of meaning. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people say that something didn’t come to pass because they didn’t have enough faith. I’ve struggled with that very thing myself more times than I’d like to admit, and there have been instances where it was […]
Finding a New Normal – Plus a Giveaway
For those who may not know, we have a twelve-year-old son with autism. He was officially diagnosed at the age of three, although we were told to expect the diagnosis shortly after he turned two. Raising a son with autism has resulted in numerous surprises, challenges, and blessings. I wouldn’t change a thing. That said, […]
New Releases for a New Year
I hope you all had a wonderful, memorable Christmas yesterday. Our family had a lovely day with fun, good food, and great company. It seems like we were preparing for Christmas for weeks and then, in a flash, it was over. Now that we’re on the other side, I’m adjusting my focus on the New […]
Everyone Needs a Little Grace
The last two weeks have been a little odd on the writing front. I’ve got two pieces of good news to report: First, Marrying Mandy is now available for pre-order. I want to again express my thank you to each and every one of you who nominated it while it was on Kindle Scout. The […]
