July 4th with Family
I apologize--this is my first time being late with a post. We just returned from a long weekend away, visiting family in Illinois over the 4th and the fact that it was my day to post slipped my mind until this morning. So, very quickly, I will just share that we had a lovely time visiting family--family that we see all too rarely: my younger brother and his wife and daughters, as well as aunts, … [Read more...]
You Are Not Forgotten
In early June, I had the privilege of touring northern France with my husband for the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Ken performed with the Holland American Legion Band at Normandy’s historic battle sites while I absorbed the rich history of the region . . . for a future book, perhaps? It’s impossible to put into words the emotions I felt as we remembered the courageous men who landed on the beaches … [Read more...]

My ICRS Experience
Last week, I had the honor of traveling to Atlanta, GA to attend the International Christian Retail Show, a huge trade show focused on Christian retailing. Everything from books to music to jewelry, to those cute beverage bottles with verses about living water stamped into the design. I had never attended this event before, but since Stealing the Preacher was a finalist for the Christy Award, I … [Read more...]
Looking Back: God’s Miracles in my Writing
I love #ThrowbackThursdays on Facebook. I love looking at photos of big hair and bell bottoms. I love noting changes in my friends and in my kids. (They were such cute babies!) Likewise, I enjoy taking time to look back and see how my writing has changed. More than that, I like to replay how God showed up, meeting me as I worked. When I was researching for my novel, Arms of Deliverance, one of … [Read more...]
“Jesus in the flesh” people in your life
Hey friends, I'm writing from Atlanta. I drove down on Sunday to be with my sweet dad who's been suffering from TIAs (mini-strokes) and other related issues. It's so hard to see those you love hurting. On Sunday when I arrived, he was not doing well at all, but what a difference the past 24 hours and YOUR PRAYERS have made! Thank you for offering prayers for his strength and healing. The … [Read more...]
