One of the best parts of reading a novella collection is enjoying more than one story without having to grab another book. In this new collection I am part of, releasing September 27 (we’re so close!), you get all four seasons, each set in a different small town during that town’s main street festival. Today, […]
Fall Into Reading + Giveaway
I’m one of those basic loves-everything-about-fall women. The sights, smells, traditions. It’s all so ahhh-inducing! Living in Texas after spending a decade of gorgeous autumns in North Carolina, the reprieve that the season brings from our sweltering summers is also a huge plus! Being in Texas also means that I’ll spend a good bit of […]
The Fruits of Faith and Peace
I’ve been a Christian so long that, at times, it’s been easy to take my faith for granted. Dry seasons, wandering seasons, passionately in love with Him seasons. Every frustrating dry season when I long to hear His voice but for some reason can’t inevitably ends up with a hard self-examination and facing my need […]

The Storms of Life Make the Sunshiny Days Brighter
We all go through seasons when pretty much everything is going right. Then there are seasons when everything seems to be going wrong. A couple of years ago I felt the Lord tell me that there would be good along with the bad, and I needed to be prepared for it and accept it. That’s […]
Sunday Edition – 10/29/17
October is nearly over. Only TWO months left in 2017. This year has flown by. I’ve been thinking about my health a lot lately. I need to lose a fair number of pounds. I weigh considerably more than I did when I was nine months pregnant with any of my children. I hate the way […]
Times, They Are A-Changin’
I have a nice, ordinary, settled life. Aside from the fact that my son will be starting his senior year in high school here pretty soon, nothing exciting really happens around our house. Don’t get me wrong. I love my life. I love that I get to write every day, that I belong to a […]
