I’ve been tagged, but rather than make it random, I’m making this reading related. 🙂 1) I have loved to read since I was about 4. You’ll still find me with a book in my hands all the time. 2) My favorite childhood books were the Little House on the Prairie series. Read them voraciously over and over. It’s been …
Time to Rally Around
The election is over. Some of us are saying finally! The mailbox will be a bit emptier now that all of the campaign mail is finished. The election didn’t go the way I’d hoped. But that’s okay. There are several things that I know. 1) God is still on His throne.2) God controls the affairs of men.3) God directs the …
Me, Myself and I Am
This book is different from the kind that I usually review, but when I got the opportunity, I thought it would be fun. I am an avid journaler. I literally have a bookshelf packed with more than 15 journals that cover from the time I was in third grade to present day. Now, I know no one will ever want …

Don’t forget to vote!
In just a few days we’ll all get the opportunity to go vote. The political mail has streamed into our house. To the extent that Jonathan sees a piece and tells me McCain wants me to vote for him – even when it’s from Barack Obama. In 2000 Eric went to Florida twice after the election to participate in the …

Sweet Tea — Nectar of the gods
I have decided that Sweet Tea has overtaken Dr Pepper as the nectar of the gods. It is the fuel that keeps me writing long into the nights. And probably is why I need to get back on the treadmill LOL. Call it my Georgia and Virginia roots coming out, but I was very happy when McDonald’s started carrying sweet …
Two Books I read last week and LOVED
Last week I read two wonderful Bethany House releases by debut authors. Both books are written in a lovely lyrical style, and wouldn’t necessarily be books I normally gravitate towards. Nobody is killed, and they aren’t romances – though there are romantic elements in each. Instead, each is the tale of a young woman finding healing from past scars. Home …
CIG to Business Law
Just in case you’ve been waiting with bated breath, LOL, I am pleased to announce that you can preorder the Complete Idiots Guide to Business Law on Amazon. By checking randomly last week, I learned that it releases on May 9, 2009. Crazy! I saw that the same day I got the Author Revision chapters — I wasn’t supposed to …
Less Than Dead Review
I am a huge fan of Tim Downs. Eric and I were first introduced to him when he and his lovely bride joy emceed the Family Life Today Weekend to Remembers that we attended. Loved his slightly sarcastic midwestern style.And that’s why we picked up his first novel. From page one, we’ve been hooked. I have honestly loved each book …
