Bah Humbug or a Time to Worship?

Bah Humbug or a Time to Worship?

What does Christmas mean to you? A time to celebrate, or a time to crawl into bed and pull the covers over your head, hoping the season disappears soon.  So many people have lost loved ones in the past, and too often it’s happened near a major holiday like Thanksgiving or Christmas. Or, a spouse is out of work (like at our house right now) and there’s not a lot of extra income for decorations or gifts. What do you…

A New Adventure is Coming

A New Adventure is Coming

I think it’s safe to say that the majority of authors would love to see their words translated to film, whether it’s the big screen or the small screen (TV). I’m soooo excited to share that that dream is coming true for me. My book that releases in September has been optioned as a movie and will release on the UP Channel (family friendly) in either October or November. We’re waiting for the airing date, and I’ll share it when…

So Fun!! Do You Want to Try?

So Fun!! Do You Want to Try?

A few weeks ago I got an email from a reader saying their group at church had chosen my book, Love Finds You in Tombstone, Arizona, to read, discuss and have a fun-filled day built around, dressing up as the characters! How cool is that!  Wouldn’t it be fun if more reading groups did this? Have you or your reading group done this type of thing? If so, please share! Our big day is tomorrow, April 18, and we will…

I know this family personally, and I’d love to see Jayme achieve her dream, which will also bless her physically. If even a handful of my friends would share this and donate a small amount, they would be well on their way to reaching their goal. Here’s the story…. Jayme is severely disabled and requires 24/7 care. Her father died unexpectedly but just before passing away, he left disposal of his company and other assets in the hands of a man he trusted….

Christmas At My House

Christmas At My House

My little Lacey is waiting for her present to appear under the tree! Tom is more interested in taking a ride on the train if he can only figure out how to stay on. I LOVE Christmas! And this year it’s going to be even more special, as our 20 month old granddaughter, Kate, will have her first Christmas opening presents where she understands what’s going on. I can’t wait! I’ll post a few pics after Christmas, until then, Merry…

Someone Precious Is Gone Today

Someone Precious Is Gone Today

I lost my grandmother today, but I know she’s in heaven with Jesus and with her husband who went ahead of her over 40 yrs ago. Grammie lived a full and very long life. She would have celebrated her 99th birthday in July. She was so much more than my grandmother….she was a lover of children, a witty woman who didn’t lose that sense of humor clear to the end. She was fiercely loyal to family and friends and known…
