Heirloom Recipes
I have to admit that between working a day job full-time, writing full-time, and running Mom's taxi service, I purchase dinner as often as I make it at home.

I'll be hosting Thanksgiving and have already purchased the turkey, red garnet yams for my mom's candied … [Read more...]
Fiction in the Works: Amish + Sunshine + Pies!
I have an Amish book coming out next summer ... and it's a pretty yummy book. Just a few hours ago I received an editorial note from my editor Kathleen at Harvest House.

"I’m not asking for any huge changes." <--this is something every author … [Read more...]

In the ever popular Jesus Calling (by Sarah Young), it reads: BRING ME THE SACRIFICE of your time: a most precious commodity. In this action-addicted world, few of My children take time to sit quietly in My Presence. But for those who do, blessings flow like streams of living water. I, the One from whom all blessings flow, am also blessed by our time together. This is a deep mystery; do not try … [Read more...]
It’s beginning to look a lot like…
I was in the mall the other day and Christmas had arrived. Already? I’m not ready! But this year I want to be. Not for all the glitter and trimmings and presents, but ready for Jesus to arrive in my heart in a deeper, more meaningful way. So while I haven’t bought a single present yet, I’ve begun to read a very special Advent book: Finding the Messiah: From Darkness to Dawn—the Birth of Our Savior … [Read more...]

Real Beauty
I was sitting in the chair recently of one of those extraordinarily talented cosmetic sales women. You know the type? They have an artfully sweet way of pointing out your flaws. They make you think that their product can fix those flaws. And they encourage you to spend more money than you'd planned to spend. I fell for it. I've fallen for it in the past, too. Perhaps because I look at my … [Read more...]
