I have a friend who makes jam. Strawberry jam, to be exact. It’s amazing, too — definitely the best jam I’ve ever had in my life. I asked her one time why she goes through all the effort of making her own jam, and her answer was pretty simple. People like it, and her husband […]
Schedules! Who Needs ‘Em?
It’s been a little while since I’ve had a new release. More than a little while, actually. At least by my calendar. That’s okay, though. God has been active in my life, and I’ve been walking in faith and obedience…even with my schedule. Letting go of my highly defined calendar is hard for me. I […]
The Ties That Bind + A #Giveaway
I hope this post finds everyone alive, well, and enjoying life. ( If this post finds you, then the odds are at least 30% in my favor. You’re *probably* alive.) I’ve been a busy couple of months in my life. My part-time teaching job has morphed into about twenty other things. Which, I’m beginning to […]
The Heart of Christmas
The Christmas season is a beautiful time of year. It brings families together, puts olds hurts in their proper perspective (forgiven and forgotten), and flows freely with eggnog and peppermint-flavored coffee. Not to mention the prettily wrapped gifts that pile up neatly under the Christmas tree. What could possibly be better? A Savior. Amidst the […]
Writing Through the Ages
I was recently teaching my fourth graders about letter-writing. When I asked them how they communicate with people who are far away, most of them said they use the phone. Of course, a phone is much different today than when I was their age. With smart phones, people now have apps that let them video […]
Life, Sunshine, and Too Many Alligators
Life is a funny thing. Some days it goes well. Everything is sunshine, rainbows, and kitty cats. Then some days life takes a sharp left turn into the raging storm that sweeps you off the bridge and into the choppy waters of uncertainty where you’re stuck between an alligator and a swarm of jellyfish. And […]
Sunday Edition
Hey Everyone! I hope you’re having a marvelous weekend! I had the pleasure of spending yesterday with our very own Elizabeth Maddrey. We shared a table at the Fredericksburg Independent Book Festival. It was a hot, sweaty day – but loads of fun in the process. :-) So tell me – do you go to […]

Blessings to all of our Inspy Romance readers – we wish we could make everyone a winner! Heather If you’re a winner, you should have received an email from the author in charge of […]
Sunday Edition
Life is a funny thing, don’t you think? We go through seasons. Sometimes those seasons are sunny and full of birds singing and flowers blooming (plastic flowers, if you have allergies). Then, other times, those seasons are full of stormy clouds and pelting rain. Those clouds can get low enough and that rain heavy enough […]
Bittersweet: Oxymoronism at its Best
Bittersweet. It’s one of those newfangled compound words. Ha. Okay. Compound words have been around since Biblical times, so I guess they can’t be that newfangled. ^_^ It’s also an oxymoron. Bitter and sweet. Those two words don’t seem like they should go together, right? When I bite into something bitter, my taste buds shudder […]
