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 […]
Life Got in the Way + #giveaway
Have you ever been there? You have great plans, but something — or many things — happens to prevent you from fulfilling your plans. So it was with me. In January, I told you I would release One Choice on the 15th. I think it was the 20th or later when that happened. I procrastinated […]
Sunday Edition 3/11/18
Happy Sunday, Inspy Romancers. Once again, I was the cause of IR admin miscommunication. Something about writing these Sunday posts doesn’t want to stick in my head. Part of the problem was that hubby, two of my sons, and I spent most of Saturday clearing out a flower bed in preparation for a fire pit […]
Postcards from Heaven
It’s Sunday evening as I write this blog. Earlier this afternoon, I pulled out a photo album of a trip hubby and I did to England over two decades ago. He had seen a photograph this past week on Facebook and said it looked so familiar. I immediately recognized the place—we had passed through the […]
In the Temple, Part I
by: Staci Stallings There are certain stories in the Bible that I’ve heard all of my life, and for some unknown reason I don’t “get it” for a long time. Then suddenly new insight breaks through, and WOW! I’ll never read or hear that story the same way again. One of those stories is the […]
Speaking God Into Life
by: Staci Stallings God is the great I Am. It isn’t about “He was” or He “will be.” HE IS. Right here. Right now. Present. This minute. The next minute. And the next. There was never a time He didn’t exist, and there will never be a time He doesn’t exist. He’s kind of like […]
I’ll Be Happy “When”
by: Staci Stallings Recently I was talking with some writer friends who are working on marketing their books. Now stay with me because this isn’t about writing. The conversation turned to sales and how many sales people had or didn’t have for that month. I had been having some success in that area and mapped […]
Think on These Things
Hi everyone! Hallee here. Normally, I’d talk about something inspirational or romantic to go with the theme of the blog, but today I’ve decided to get a little up close and personal with you. For years I blogged as Hallee the Homemaker, and my children kind of grew up in the “public” blogging eye. I […]
Love – New, Old and In-between
My husband, Mike, and I have been married 32 years, together for 34. That’s a lot of time spent learning, growing, sharing, fighting, making up, and experiencing life together. Obviously it hasn’t been 32 years of sheer bliss. There’ve been rocky patches, mountaintop experiences, and lots (and lots) of normal everyday stuff. We have two […]
