Computer Glitching…Save Your Work Beforehand!
It’s a common thing to have a computer glitch. But not when I am trying to ready a huge manuscript for an editor who had just sent me a nice contract for it. That is the time I need everything working properly, the spell checking of the manuscript and the revisions to go smoothly. NotContinue Reading
Never Give Up…
For some reason tonight I was reminded of this. It is so easy to get discouraged by what we see instead of looking at things eternal.

Change is on the Horizon…

I Never Thought I Would Write This…
How I wanted to share with you a joy over the past week – I heard back from several editors for books and now have several contracts and books to write. But at the same time I grieve a tremendous loss tonight – our beagle Lady. She was still fairly young (though no one wasContinue Reading

Much to be Thankful For….
Happy Thanksgiving! What a wonderful time of year to gather together with family and friends and give thanks to God for His abundant blessings. Even if the blessing at times have seemed few and far, there is always reason to give thanks, especially that God sent His Son Jesus so we might have fellowship withContinue Reading
