Add a Little Color to Your Devotions

July 19, 2018 By Karen Witemeyer

Over the last few months, I've been actively looking for ways to incorporate more scripture into my day. With a full-time day job, writing, and three children, time is a precious commodity.

It’s Release Week!!!

June 7, 2018 By Karen Witemeyer

It's finally here! More Than Meets the Eye released on Tuesday. I always find the release of a new book exciting and slightly terrifying. What will readers think?
