Someone sent this to me via email today. I’ve never posted something like this on my blog, but felt it’s very worthwhile and thought provoking. Hope you enjoy! A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a regional sales convention in Chicago. They had assured their wives that they would be home in plenty of time for Friday night’s dinner. In their rush, with tickets and briefcases, one of these salesmen inadvertently kicked over a table which held…
I’ve discovered a new Christian site that’s similar to My Space, but clean and Christ centered. It’s also not just for teens or young adults, as I found a large number of adults in the age range of 30-60 hanging out there. For those of you wanting to get involved in Christian chat, join groups that have a similar interest to yours, or promote your writing, art or music, this just might be the site for you. There are groups…
Do you ever wish you could run away to a desserted island for a few days, and escape the rush and stress of life? My week has been that way, and I know I’m needing to step back and evaluate my priorities. Are you feeling the same way? Is everything you’re involved in right now really vital & necessary? Only you can answer that question with any honesty. But if the answer is no, then take a deep breath, sit…

They say lightening doesn’t strike twice in the same place. Keep reading, and you’ll see you do indeed have two chances to win an autographed copy of my book when it’s released! We all love winning something, don’t we? Remember when your parents took you to a carnival when you were little and you won a small stuffed animal or other inexpensive toy, or maybe you won a prize in a Sunday School contest or school event? You felt pride…
In this day and age, it’s a challenge to raise children that will grow to be adults who serve the Lord. Here are a few ideas that might help~ 1. Every Christian parent knows this, and we all pray for our kids, but it’s important to also pray WITH our kids. Prayer is learned by experiencing it and observing others engaged in it, especially those we trust. 2. Read to your children~ Some would encourage only Bible reading & I…
Just time for a bit of catch up tonight, on a more personal note. The holidays were very nice, with family close by, but little else was accomplished. It’s nice to be back to normal, if there is such a thing! LOL! I don’t have much of a concept of what normal might be, as our life changes so dramatically every few years.The signing of my contract got placed on hold, as the publishing house adjourned for the holidays &…
