Welcome Guest – Leanne Smith

June 29, 2016 By Karen Witemeyer

  Don't you love when God creates a "chance" encounter that leads to something so much bigger? That's how I met Leanne. I came in late to a general session at a writing conference a couple years ago and saw a lovely lady sitting by herself at a table in the back of the room.

Help Me Pick My Website Photo

May 5, 2016 By Karen Witemeyer

Two weeks ago, my daughter and I had photo sessions with a lovely lady from our church who does photography on the side of her regular teaching gig. My daughter was having her senior pictures made, and I was getting new head shots and promotional photos. Bethany, being young and beautiful, made gorgeous pictures. The more mature member of the photo brigade had a few more challenges. Being an … [Read more...]
