Unless you’re Rip Van Winkle or a recluse living in the desert — which wouldn’t be a bad idea about now — you know the nation is combating the spread of COVID-19. The Corona Virus 2019. As a nation, we’re staying home, taking care of ourselves, avoiding physical contact with others, downloading GrubHub or DoorDash for the first time. We’re …
It’s Been Awhile Since I Posted
Of course, if you an read dates you know that I’m not a regular blogger. All my good words get used up on Twitter and Facebook. Ha! I mean, novels. Yea, I save all my words for books. Actually, I have a lot of thoughts when I’m not in front of the computer, things I’d like to share with y’all …
The Shadow of Death
In God there is no shadow. James 1:17 tells us He is light. So why do we so often blame God for the darkness and shadows in which we walk? We’re mad at, blaming, the wrong guy. Satan is the father of lies. He is darkness. But this life and this world come with trials. There are moments when we just …
For His Name Sake
God’s name is bankable. He cannot deny Himself, His character, or the essence of who He is. If He calls us to walk in righteousness, then He will make a way for us to do so. There’s no such things as “God’s Word doesn’t work.” Or “Prayer doesn’t work.” We just have to do the work and lean into Him. …
He Makes Me Lie Down
We live in a stress filled world. Either created by our own actions, or by actions thrust upon us. We live in a world of terror, shootings, and riots. A world partially at war. And at times when I’ve laid down to sleep, peace was far from me. In Psalm 23, the writer, King David, prophesies to the world, for …
Who’s The Boss Anyway?
Remember the ’80s when hunky Tony Danza worked as housekeeper for Judith Light in the sitcom, Who’s The Boss? It was one of my favorites. Judith’s character was supposed to be the boss but Tony’s character pretty much ran the show. Today I spoke at a Women’s tea held at a church a former co-worker now pastored. In fact, at …
Reasons to Not Freak Out About Being Overweight
I know, I know, the world tells us to freak out over being “fat” or overweight. But there are a few benefits to carrying an extra few pounds. I got the news straight from The 17 Day Diet book by Dr. Mike Moreno. Here we go: Stronger bones. A little meat can ward off osteoporosis. Healthier Hearts and Lower Rise of …
New Boots Make Me Smile!
I’ve been looking for a boot “bootie” for a while now. I have a pair I love but they are starting to look a bit worn. I found a couple of pair a few weeks ago — which I loved — but the perfect, heart stopping, eye catching bootie eluded me. Until DSW today. At the Poughkeepsie Galleria. So far, …
Life Comes at You Fast, Sometimes Furious
Friday afternoon I sat in a sun spot falling through the Florida room windows, talking to my agent, going over my next book ideas, my thoughts coming together after a brain dead week. I’d been on deadline, traveled to St. Louis for a board meeting, spent 7 days with 18 writers and Susan May Warren, then flew to my sisters …
God’s perfecting good work
I’ve found comfort and truth in the Word lately. Reading in Philippians this morning, Paul admonishes us, “and He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” I read the verse a second and third time, then I wrote it down in my journal, and prayed over it, making it personal and …
