"God's promises, even though delayed, are not endangered. Danger and doubt don't change his promises." I jotted that note down a few weeks ago in church when one of our pastors was sharing from the Word, and I've thought of it several times since. The fact that God doesn't change, that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow has long been a comfort to me—and it's becoming more so all … [Read more...]
A Woman’s Place
I attended a baby shower last week for a young woman who is expecting her first baby.

Cherishing and Protecting Our Freedom
The concept of "freedom" has been on my mind a lot this year, especially since I taught U.S. History this past year to a group of high school students. I learned a LOT about the freedom that Americans purchased with their sweat, blood, and often their very lives. Teaching the class reminded me of all of the many brave and intelligent people who came before us, people who lived with integrity, … [Read more...]

Book signings are a great way to maintain relationships with bookstore managers and staff and it is always fun to meet the dedicated fan who is excited to get an autographed copy of your book. … [Read more...]
Hello, I’m Lenora :)
I’m the new kid on the block and I’m happy to be here. When Robin invited me to join, I was a bit intimidated by the roster of wonderful writers here. I’ve know some of them for a long time and I’m looking forward to getting to know the others. I’ve read many of their books. So I had a “girl fan” moment and thought “I’m not worthy.” When I turned to my husband to explain in a breathless bliss … [Read more...]
