If you want to catch up before reading the conclusion, you can find Valor, part 1 here and Valor, part 2 here. And now for the much-anticipated conclusion… (A little over-hype never hurt anyone, right? 😉) **** Savannah stared as Marcus walked in the door to the conference room. What was he doing there? She […]
Valor, part 2 (a short story)
If you’d like to read Valor, part 1, you can find it here. Now for part two… *** Savannah was half-way through her first day on the job. She’d been shadowing Pamela, who worked in acquisitions. She’d learned about how Valor Enterprises raised outside funds to help support its philanthropic endeavors. She’d sat through numerous […]
Valor, part 1 (a short story)
I’ll be honest. I’m still working on the title. I kind of like “Valuing Valor” – but I’m not sure. My love affair with alliteration can only go so far… If you have any title suggestions, feel free to put them in the comments! I expect this to be a 3-part short story, but we’ll […]
Seasons of Change
The new year is a time of change and transition. For some, it’s no more than a changing of the page on the calendar, true. For others, though, it’s a time of making plans, changing the way we see ourselves, and modifying life habits so that we become more like who we want to be. […]
Finding Rest When Life is So Busy It Hurts (#Giveaway!)
Have you ever been so busy that you literally feel like you can’t handle even one more thing? Life gets like that sometimes, doesn’t it? And the holidays are especially challenging to our schedules, our calendars, and our ability to rest. Matthew 11:28 tells us to come to Christ, that He will give us rest. […]
Grateful (& not just for the #giveaway)
I know it’s still a few weeks away, but this is the month for Thanksgiving. This is a month when (if we haven’t already been doing so), we start to focus on gratitude and appreciation for God and hopefully for others. Doing this in November helps us – in my opinion – helps us to […]
Which is Better? Contemporary Book Covers…or Historical?
I recently came across a list of the best Christian book covers as voted by readers. I only looked at the top 100 covers, but still – I was surprised. A little shocked. Maybe a touch dismayed. Let me share with you what I found… Out of the top 100 covers, 3 were for Christian […]
Better For It
I was thinking this week about memories – specifically relationship memories. When my son turned one, and I realized I was expected to buy him birthday gifts a mere two weeks after his grandparents and great-grandparents (and, yeah, maybe his parents, too) had spoiled him at Christmas, I realized I needed a plan. So we […]
Nerds are Sexy, Too
Nerds are the best. And I mean that sincerely. My family and I took a vacation recently. In fact, I’m still sitting in Vancouver, British Columbia, as I type this out. We head to the airport at 2am tomorrow. Yay. (Not.) I realize that some families go to the beach for vacation. Some families go […]
Summer Reading at its Best
Happy 4th of July! I hope you have plans for a wonderful celebration filled with family and friends. Personally, I’ll be working on a paper I need to turn in for school. If it wasn’t for that paper, though, I would have other plans for tomorrow. Can you guess what I would rather do? Read. […]
