Last week I read about retired NASCAR driver Dick Trickle’s suicide. My parents dated by attending races at the Chemung Racetrack where then amateur Geoff Bodine was always put last in line to see how fast he’d get up front and win. Once married and with children our parents continued to watch NASCAR, much to [...]
It’s no secret Susan May Warren is one of my favorite authors. She has a new book, Take A Chance on Me, and May 21-27 has been dubbed Susie May Days. I believe if you click on the image it will take you to her site where you will receive more information. She had so [...]
Have you heard of the blog Christians Read? I blog every other Wednesday opposite Maureen Lang. Other author/bloggers include Vicki Hinze, Kathi Macias, Sarah Goebel, Hannah Alexander, James L. Rubart, Elizabeth Goddard, Tara Randel, Lynette Sowell, Yvonne Lehman, and Kristen Heitzmann. I know, I’m not offended that you are wondering what on Earth is my [...]
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. -Psalm 46, NIV My amateur nature picture of the Green Mountains and Lake Champlain, Burlington, Vermont.

When people are skeptical about Christ’s ability to transform people today, I want to bring in people from my childhood to display as my Exhibit A. I was a wounded, angry child and my mouth was often far ahead of my brain. If I couldn’t say it in person, well I did the next best [...]
Earlier this week I was blessed to have my step-mom experience shared with Rebecca’s blog Among Friends: The Ties That Bond Us. If you’re in a blended family I encourage you to take the time to read. Our family is proof that the step-family story doesn’t have to be a tragedy. Read my [...]
I love to lead the John and Stasi Eldredge study Captivating for women. One of the trademarks created in girls is to long to hear they are lovely. To swoon over a romance while twirling their skirts. And every time I teach it, the ladies sigh with me as we remember our favorite books and [...]

The women flee to the tropical south…and run headlong into their respective pasts. Laine takes a new nursing position at a plantation [...]

There’s a bonus to participating in a writer’s critique group: you get to cheer when members of the group move from the unpublished to the published category. Such is the status for Stephanie McCall. It seems like yesterday she submitted a WIP (work in progress) for us to review. Today, I’m reviewing it as her [...]
