I’ve never been a huge animal lover. Growing up, we had dogs and cats. Living down the road from my grandparents’ dairy farm, I was exposed to all kind of barnyard animals. When our boys were small, we added a beautiful Yellow Lab to our family, but due to our son’s allergies, our Samantha ended […]
About Lisa Jordan
Grow Old Along With Me
When I was in junior high, my grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a party consisting of family and friends. I have a very large extended family, so people had traveled from all over the country to attend. The family photo included many people, but what I remember most is the love and devotion […]

Making the Grand Gesture
I love the movie, Chasing Liberty, with Mandy Moore and Matthew Goode. Even though it’s about a decade old, the movie is a great example of making the grand gesture for the ones you love.

Several people have asked, “What inspired Agnes’s story?” Lakeside Sweethearts is the story of two longtime best friends who work together on a community project and try not to risk […]
He Makes Everything Beautiful
After my dad’s death last July, I helped my stepfamily clean out my dad’s workshop. While cleaning out the upstairs, I came across the perfect sized table to put next to my writing chair—square with a drawer and a small shelf to hold my Bible and writing books. The top of the table had water […]
When Friends Fall in Love
When I was 19, I worked as a waitress at a local family restaurant to put myself through college. One weekend in May, a handsome man walked through the front door. His image is imprinted permanently on my brain—blue pants, blue and white striped shirt, white shoes (Miami Vice era, friends). I was attracted the […]
