How big is your faith? Is it wave-sized or is it God-sized? Last week, I had a good cry. I’ve been walking with Jesus through the ups and downs of life since 1988, when He saved my soul. Fast forward thirty three years later: suddenly COVID. If you’ve gone through this dreaded virus, you know what […]
Best Laid Plans
Over the years as I’ve done this blog, I’ve shared photos from my numerous trips. I even shared photos from places that I didn’t get to go because of Covid. Last year we had to cancel trips to Italy and South Africa. I am blessed to have gone to all fifty of the states in […]
Relationship Dealbreakers
Seventeen years ago, my husband and I met on an internet dating service. It was founded by a Christian clinical psychologist, and it took the issue of compatibility very seriously. That’s why I chose it over other more casual dating services. Before my husband and I were paired with anyone, we went through over 500 […]
What do Socks Have to do with Gender Roles?
I reached a new low a few weeks back. Like, low-low. I had twenty-two unmatched socks in my laundry basket. And they were all mine. Twenty-two. You might wonder how on earth anybody can end up with twenty-two pairs of socks. The answer is simple. Single socks keep disappearing, and I have to buy new […]
Happy Fall Equinox and National Legwear Day
Today is the first day of fall in the northern hemisphere. My apologies to those who live in the southern hemisphere for the fall photo. You are celebrating the beginning of spring. It is also National Legwear Day here in the United States. This particular unique holiday spoke to me because I have a whole […]
My (Lazy) Hero
Most heroes don’t stay seated when someone rings their doorbell. Most heroes don’t have a butt dent in their sofa. Most heroes don’t work at night so they can sleep the day away. Kai Kamaka from Husband Auditions is not most heroes. It’s been interesting to hear reader reactions to writing a lazy hero. Some […]
Why I Write Beach Romance (and #giveaway)
Do you read romantic fiction set on the beach? Do you remember something when you read these beach romances? A memory, perhaps? Or a favorite family vacation? I write in multiple genres, but where contemporary Christian romance is concerned, my story world stretches from big cities to small towns, and from mountains to the beaches. I […]
Have You Heard the Rumor about Me?
Perhaps you were fortunate enough to have seen the cautionary tale from VeggieTales about the Rumor Weed. If so, you know how quickly a small comment can grow into a monster, destroying people’s lives while singing a pretty catchy song (You’re singing it now, aren’t you?) If you haven’t seen it, well, my guess is […]
Finishing the Race + #Giveaway
If you’ve been reading our Sunday Edition posts in August, you’ll know I’m a big fan of the Olympics. I love hearing the behind the scenes stories from the athletes. Most of the athletes have overcome amazing odds and worked incredibly hard in their training regime to reach the elite level and represent their country […]
Heartwarming Moments, Presented by the Olympics (and a giveaway)
We just finished the (delayed) 2020 summer Olympics in Tokyo. Are you a fan? I am. I love the summer games and the winter games equally. I have my favorite events, but let’s face it, what other time would I spend hours sitting in front of my TV watching obscure sports like beach volleyball? Synchronized […]
