Are you all rolling around from all the turkey, apple pie, and fixings? I’m looking at our treadmill with longing in my eyes. I feel the need to run — oh, to have the time. Nebraska beat Colorado in a fun game Friday (well, fun if you’re a Cornhusker), and is now ranked 18th. Woohoo! Here comes the Big 12 …
Happy Thanksgiving!
Ann Voskamp has a post at Christian Women Online blog with a challenge I plan to take. She challenges at this crazy time of the year to make a list of 1000 gifts. Not gifts we want to received. But gifts that God has already given us. This seems to go so well with the verse I’ve been thinking about …

One More Thing to be Thankful for…
Katherine Parker, a writer with the Washington Post Writer’s Group, has a great op-ed today that is running in papers around the country. In Amazing Grace and Other Things she highlights one more thing that people should be thankful for. I’ll just quote her closing paragraphs here: Whatever one believes — or doesn’t — it’s impossible to ignore that the …
International Buy Nothing Day
I now know there is a day for everything. The day after Thanksgiving is usually a day I race around to snatch up bargains. It’s also usually the last day I willing choose to shop for Christmas presents. The crowds simply take the pleasure out of shopping for me after that. I’m not sure when that happened. Maybe around the …

The Indianapolis Star has run a couple interesting stories this week on law enforcement. Yesterday, the article focused on the rash of upcoming retirements at the Police Department and Sheriff’s Department. One man quoted in the article says it takes ten years to get a new cop experienced enough to be seasoned. As I read the article, I envisioned all …

Review: Calm, Cool & Adjusted

Interview is Up
Today I’ve over at Tina Forkner’s blog: http://www.tinaannforkner.blogspot.com/. One of the strangest things about getting a contract is getting to do interviews. It’s really fun and surreal all at the same time. Tina is also running a fun contest on her blog for free books: just submit your rejections stories. Check it out.
Review: Scoop
As I mentioned yesterday, Scoop was a book that I had a little trouble pigeon-holing into a genre. By the time I finished it last night, I decided it was a truly fun read that’s best classified as a Rene Gutteridge original. Add a cup of comedy, a pinch of mystery, a dash of romance, and wha la (or however …
