To really grasp that everything in the fairytales, plus a whole lot of authority is ours by extension of what Christ did for us? It’s a …
What’s Your Word?
This Saturday I’m speaking at a women’s retreat at Harvest Christian Fellowship in North Platte, NE. I’d love to have you join us! But as I was sitting in church yesterday, I started thinking about what I would be talking about. The pastor and I were on the same page, since he was talking about the rocks of remembrance God …
My Husband Rocks!
I sent off a proposal last week for a series I really want to write. It’s World War II. Europe. Art. Need I say more? I had to revamp the proposal quite a bit before sending it off because the heroine needed to be an American. Quite a change from Italian, but I have completely fallen in love with the …
Booksignings: worth doing?
Booksignings are something authors love to do or hate to do. There seems to be very little middle ground. Saturday I had one at a new-to-me store, Open Door Bookstore in Terre Haute, Indiana. Why would I drive two hours to sell a few books? 1. I want to support the local Christian bookstores. I didn’t know this ahead of …

Moments to Soak in…
Some days life stinks. It just does. We’ve all had those. Sometimes it’s a blink. Sometimes it’s a week. Sometimes it’s a season. Other times, life has flashes of hope and days of joy. And others, there are shadows of things to come. I think that’s where I’m sitting. I had a meeting on Monday that looks like a wide-open …
