Saturday’s booksigning at Carpenter’s Son was such fun. Here are a few of the pictures from the event. This first photo is me with my friend Ann. She’s my scrapbooking buddy. Often when Eric is traveling we’ll get together to watch chick flicks and scrap. And amazingly, she never laughed when I told her I was considering writing. I’ve been …
Here are some photos from the Mall of America ACFW booksigning held on September 20. It was an amazing event. And these photos taken by Kenny Noble do a great job capturing the energy and flows of people. Thanks so much for taking them, Kenny!

Booksigning on Saturday!
My newest book just arrived at Carpenter’s Son — Yeah! They have it before I do LOL.Captive Dreams is the last book in the Nebraska World War Two series.

Eric and I went to this movie Sunday night. It is really quite good and well done. It focuses on a marriage that is headed toward divorce and the love dare that challenges one of the spouses to fight a bit longer for the marriage. Our small group is going to work through the Love Dare book this fall. I …

For those of us who are more than a tad tired of the Mommy Wars…here’s a clever story and reading by my online friend Dena Dyer. Enjoy.

Even those of us who like to think on our feet lose our words at times 🙂 Thanks, Janna, for capturing this. The only thing that would have made the moment more special would have been sharing it with Eric. Next time!
A Promise Kept
That’s the working title of my next book, which is due October 7th. In part because of the ACFW conference, I’ve got a LOT of words to write and very few days. So if you don’t see much of me here in the next week and a half, it’s because I have to make every word count. Please pray that …
Financial Bailout thought
Here’s a link to Dave Ramsey’s thoughts on the government bail out and an alternative. I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of hearing Senator Shelby and others say, “it’s not my fault.” That may very well be true, but let’s look for a solution rather than talk in front of the cameras. This plan may be one step …
