Most biographies don’t allow enough words to share everything about yourself, especially in a guest blog post or something like that. Of the many things I’d love others to know, one is that I enjoy taking nature pictures.
I share them on Instagram and Facebook. My mom suggested I make sure I have hard copies of the pictures. I have only used my phone camera, so the pix have always been my Galaxy at the time, or currently, my iPhone 8. Each Christmas I present her with the year’s worth of pictures I took.
While I organized them for her, there were a few that stood out. I thought I would share them here.

The sun was setting, and this just is peaceful to me.This was the eclipse in NE Ohio. I closed my eyes and took a series of pictures. I couldn’t believe any turned out.

A perfect visual of rural life.Hydrangeas from our yard. I feel like I could reach out and touch them.This is my hometown, Corning, NY, and historic Market Street. I love the lights and snowflakes.This year I wanted to get a couple fog pictures. This isn’t far from our neighborhood.I feel like I captured the fog!

You know, I wish I was thankful 99% of the time (because everyone deserves a pass once out of a hundred, right?). I wish my heart remained centered in God when blessings flowed and when sadness came. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I love Jesus and will always devote my life to serving Him. But…
God’s Grace in Our Grumbling On January 1, 2013, I started a writing challenge my husband suggested for the new year. He said, “Janetta, Day 1, you’ll write 365 words. Day 2, 364 words. And so on. Then on December thirty-one, you’ll only have to type one word.” He’s my brainstorming buddy, but this idea…
Do you live in the Greater Youngstown area? If so, I’m having a party to celebrate Entrusted at Youngstown Christian School (transitioning to the new name Valley Christian School) at 6:30. I’ll be in the new cafeteria at 4401 Southern Boulevard ready to celebrate with you with cake, punch, a photo area, trivia, goodie bags…
BABY STEPS TRAPPED is my latest romantic suspense novel—heavy on the suspense but enough romance to add to the enjoyment. Being a Christian Fiction novel, there’s always a spiritual message hidden in the pages of the story as well, and this one is no exception. Angela Matthews had the perfect life until the day she’s…
Behind the Scenes of Driver Confessional David L. Winters Behind the Scenes When I decided to write a Christian suspense novel about an Uber driver, the obvious first step included registering with the company as a ride-share driver.
