[And be sure to stick around for info on my free Christmas story and a Christmas giveaway while you're here.] For the second year in a row I purchased my wreath from Home Depot for less than $20.

Christmas Means Christmas Movies
Ever since I researched 1940s Hollywood for Stars in the Night, I've been a bigger fan than ever of classic movies. Growing up, my favorite movies were from the 30s and 40s...that hasn't changed. There's something I love about the simplicity of that time that shines through in movies that make me laugh and feel. So today I thought I'd share a few of my favorites. [Tweet "Love #Christmas?

And so it’s Christmas
First, Merry Christmas! Second, today is a very important day in history. This is Pearl Harbor Day. On this day in 1941, Pearl Harbor in Oahu, Hawaii, was bombed by over three hundred Japanese warplanes. Thus began our involvement in World War II. We'll never forget and we'll never take that for granted. Thank you to all of our brave military forces who have sacrificed and served. Here is a … [Read more...]
Overcoming in the Desert Seasons

What My Passion for Christian Fiction Led Me to Do This Fall
Church libraries. Does your church have one? Mine does. I go to a large church and so our church library, while not enormous, is a decent size. Each wall is lined with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves packed full of all kinds of great books. This past fall I joined the staff at my church library. I’d been mulling over doing so for several months and felt lead to finally help out for several … [Read more...]
The Story of the Advent Calendar
Did you ever play with those paper advent calendars as a kid? I used to love those things. Opening each door between December 1 - 24 until Christmas arrived. And no, I never cheated and looked at more than one hidden picture at a time. ;-) I actually like surprises. When my children were young, I invested in a wooden advent calendar. We would hang it on the wall, and each day, the kids and I … [Read more...]
