Some folks at another blog were playing with this, so I had to join in. Plug in text, and the website turns it into a graphic presentation. If you’re smarter than I am, you can save it as a JPEG. This is a graphic representation of my bio. Have fun with yours. Here’s another fun one to show what you …
Prince Caspian: Spiritual and Writing Lessons
Eric and I finally got to the theaters to see Prince Caspian this weekend. I guess having a baby the weekend before the movie opened gives me an excuse for the delay — but this was a movie I really wanted to see on the big screen. Then I was afraid — as we walked into the theater — that …
Review: Deep in the Heart of Trouble
Deeanne Gist’s latest book is a romp! I thoroughly enjoyed a Bride Most Begrudging — in fact that book convinced me I could still enjoy fresh historical romance. Courting Trouble was fun, but Deep in the Heart of Trouble was a delightful read. I couldn’t wait to return to this book at every chance I got. And as busy as …
Amen and Hallelujah
This morning I slipped on a beautiful bracelet a friend gave me at least year’s ACFW conference. I was sitting here at the computer, holding little Rebecca as I “try” to work and saw the words on the bracelet again. Hallelujah and Amen. What bookends to the last 18 months. Amen to God’s goodness even when I don’t understand things …
Bayou Paradox Review
In this fourth installment in her Bayou romantic suspense, Robin Caroll brings readers a fast-paced read filled with romance. It can cure you. Or it can kill you. The untamed Louisiana bayou is not for hte faint of heart. But until now, Tara LeBlanc has always considered it a sanctuary, its lush foliage a source of medicinal healing. What evil …
Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World
As the director of women’s ministry at my church, one of my roles is to lead a women’s Bible Study and occasionally a Sunday School class. I’m always looking for new books that will address the needs of women who live in a high stress world yet desire intimacy with Christ. One book that has caught my eye several times …
Yummy Rhubarb Recipe
So last week at our Wednesday night Bible study, my friend DJ came in raving about a rhubarb custard cake she had helped a friend make. I asked that friend if she had any extra rhubarb — hence the strawberry-rhubarb pie I made early this week that symoblized the arrival of summer. Then Wednesday I made the rhubarb custard cake …
Dance Praise Fun
Tonight the kids and I got out the Dance Praise dance pads and had a good ole time. Eric’s traveling so Jonathan thought it would be a great idea to get them out. He was right! Even Rebecca loved the dancing. She thought it was great fun praising with me. And I got some exercise, we all got some praise …
It’s Summertime!
Yes, I know the calendar says June, but for me summertime arrived today. Why? Because I baked a strawberry rhubarb pie on Monday. The kids and I picked the strawberries last Thursday at Pretty Prairie Farm. The rhubarb came from a friend at church’s farm. The pie crust actually turned out — it’s from a children’s book of all places, …
Skizzer Review & Author Contest
Skizzer. It’s a funny word, and the title of a compelling debut novel. “Something both terrible and wonderful has happened. I can’t explain now…” With those lines from a letter placed in an old haunt of Claire and her sister Becca, Claire is launched into a search to find Becca. Becca disappeared without a trace, and Claire is determined to …
