Satisfying Your Sweet Tooth

October 1, 2019 By Tamera Alexander

"A great liking for sweet tasting foods." That's the definition for "sweet tooth." And I definitely have a sweet tooth! Do you? This past Sunday, I spoke to the fabulous women at Brentwood Church of Christ here in Nashville on the topic of Writing Real History, and they had the most adorable—and that doesn't even begin to describe them—cookies!

My Eulogy to Dad, Part 2

September 17, 2019 By Tamera Alexander

Two weeks ago—after receiving requests from several of you—I shared the eulogy I gave at Dad's funeral on August 21 in which I shared seven lessons I learned from my precious Dad, who truly modeled what it was like to be a man after God's own heart.

Dad's safely Home! You might have already read this on Facebook or Instagram, but if not. . . Last Monday morning, my sweet father breathed his last earthly breath and is now in the glorious presence of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We were gathered around Dad's bedside as he passed from this world to the next, and it was a sweet and peaceful passing. The presence of the Holy … [Read more...]

First Line Frenzy—& GiveawayS!

August 6, 2019 By Tamera Alexander

I love reading first lines of novels. One of my favorite pastimes is pulling books off the shelf (or opening samples downloaded to my Kindle) and reading first lines of novels to see which ones pull me in the most. A phenomenal first line doesn't automatically guarantee a great read, of course. But it does mean the author has given thought as to how to capture—and keep—your interest! So … [Read more...]
