Where would you live?

September 8, 2021 By Dani Pettrey

Hi friends, Happy Wednesday! Always glad to spend a day with you. A friend asked if I could live in any book, which story world would I choose. This is a writer and reader’s delight—at least for me. Books started racing through my mind. Stories I’ve treasured and the world they’re set in. I immediately thought of Dee Henderson’s O’Malley family and how I’d love to meet each member of … [Read more...]

Christmas is Coming

September 2, 2021 By Karen Witemeyer

I admit it. I'm one of those grumbly types who complains about Christmas merchandise showing up in stores before Halloween. No carol singing allowed until after Thanksgiving. No decorations put up until the first weekend of December. Bah, humbug! The one area where I make an exception is shopping.

Somehow, I’ve managed to average about 50 books a year for the past 8 years (except last year in 2020 I only read about 30). As I took stock on where I’m at this year, I realized I’m on track with my 50-book average, in … [Read more...]

When God’s People Stand Together

August 19, 2021 By Karen Witemeyer

I've always known that God's people were a powerful force when responding to His call. Just look at the decimated walls of Jericho. Yet, I've gained an entirely new perspective these past few weeks as God's people worked a miracle in the opposite direction--shoring up my quivering infrastructure with divine support beams of prayer, encouragement, and love. On July 31, I was pronounced the … [Read more...]
