We hope you are enjoying these weekly feature posts from the authors of Inspired by Life…and Fiction. We’re sharing some of our favorite things to help you get to know us a little better—and we’d love to hear your answers to these “favorites” questions in the comments below.
Favorite Candy: One of my favorite candies that I keep on hand for moments when I just need a little taste to keep me going through my day are Dove dark chocolates. I keep a secret stash in my office at work.
Favorite Sport: I’ve always enjoyed racket sports. I played junior varsity tennis one year in high school. I was never very good, but I had lots of fun. For a while I played racquetball with my husband. I couldn’t keep up with his skill, but I could out-hustle him. 🙂 My middle son played tennis for three years in high school, so that was fun, but not as fun as the year my husband bought me a backyard badminton set for my birthday. We had so much fun. Here’s my favorite short video from that day where my son managed to hit himself in the face with the birdie. We laughed so hard we couldn’t play for several minutes.
Favorite Verse: I have far too many favorites when it comes to Bible verses! I decided to share the one that I cross-stitched to hang on my office wall the year I returned to the day job after being a stay-at-home-mom for five years. It continues to inspire me today as I work and write, to always give my best because it’s not just a job, it’s an offering to the Lord.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for man.” Colossians 3:23
