I love my Willow Tree nativity. In New Mexico, the plant ledge in our living room was a good place to display it. In Arizona, there was no place for it. In Colorado, there were a couple of plant ledges that worked well… except they were up so high, it took wheeling the entertainment center […]
Last week, a new sermon series began at our church. It’s called “Behold the Real Jesus,” and the sermon was “Understanding the Names of Jesus.” That particular sermon focused on Isaiah chapter nine. It’s available at Kingsland.org , and it’s awesome. Pastor Rush said that Wonderful Counselor also means Extraordinary Strategist, and that God’s wisdom […]
I kept telling Brad I heard what sounded like bees or wasps buzzing in the two downstairs bathrooms. He suggested it might be the florescent light bulbs. But it wasn’t florescent light bulbs that climbed out of the air vent and into our bathroom Thanksgiving week, while I was in the process of drying my […]
Last week, my Bible Study Fellowship class covered the 7th chapter of John. What struck me most about it, was how in control God is. John 7:30, NLT~ Then the leaders tried to arrest him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his time had not yet come. John 7:44, NLT~ Some even […]
For about a month, I prayed my daughter would not have a serious medical condition involving her heart. Her Dad and I, and her pediatrician, were alarmed at the obvious and frequent palpitations, the chest pain, and the heart rate that wavered rapidly between 124, and 84. And so, Em was referred to a pediatric […]
250 pages! Lot’s of exciting things are happening in the world of Justin and Laney, not the least of which, is a cover for their book. If only I could spend the night writing! I really want to. But, I’ve been getting the worst headaches. My doctor says they’re caused by tension, and I’m sure […]
To “Miles,” and by that I mean the book, not the character. It was two years ago today, that “Miles” made its debut. Since then, four more books have been added to The House of Bannerman series. Three additional series and four stand-alone books have also joined “Miles” on my shelf. Fourteen books in two […]
Jack and Charlotte’s third book, as of yet unnamed, is 2/3 of the way… finished? No. But the plot is well determined. I can hardly wait to write it, although I’ll have to. I’ll have to wait to talk about it too, because how much fun would that (not) be to give it all away […]
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since “601 Suspense Street” was released. It’s about time for book 3 in that series to take shape, and that’s exactly what’s beginning to happen. There are a lot of details yet to be determined, but I like what I’ve got so far. Plots for Mystery Lane […]
“Failure to Engage” has hit the 175 page mark. Ordinarily, that would mean the book is almost two-thirds of the way to completion. But, like “Terms of Engagement,” this one is going to go long. Maybe not quite as long as “Terms.” But close. I look back and am so glad this book insisted on […]
