We had a GRAND Time!

By

The main reason Ken and I moved to Missouri three and a half years ago was to spend time with our grandkids here. We now have seven in Missouri and six in Texas (more on that at the end) and two of our Missouri boys are in high school now! So thankful we moved when we did because these two will be all grown up before we know it! We spent a fun weekend in Memphis with our three oldest grandsons … [Read more...]

Inside Scoop on My Audiobook

By

I'm currently listening to Memory Lane's audiobook before I make it available! Here's the timeline of how this audiobook came to be... Mid-October - I emailed narrator Heather Masters to inquire if she'd be interested in narrating Memory Lane (slated to release mid-February).

It was during this week that the first of … [Read more...]

Ask Dr. Angie

By

I love theology. Years ago, when I was writing a book with a theological theme, I realized that I had better get it right--wouldn't want to have to explain to the Lord how I figured it out all by myself and gave people the WRONG answer. So I went back to school. Got a master's in theology, then completed two doctorates--one in theology proper, and another in biblical studies. I certainly don't … [Read more...]
