Obviously. Not after last week’s judges decision to put a pouting, fit-throwing Astro through ahead of Stacy. Sure, Astro is super talented, (although he never SINGS anything, LOL!), but to say he didn’t want to sing again because America didn’t think enough of him to keep him out of the bottom two? Good grief, that’s ridiculous. EVERYONE will end up getting the kicked off at some point other than the winner. So apparently he expected to win and can’t take…

by Elaine Marie Cooper When we sit down at our Thanksgiving meal this month, we’ll be recreating a celebration that is as old as our country: sharing food with loved ones while thanking the God Who has provided the abundance.

They would not resemble one another even if you painted them all one color! They speak all the languages…
Can you believe Thanksgiving is approaching and daylight savings time ends tomorrow night? Where has the summer gone? And did we really even have a fall? Our summer hers in the Pacific NW didn’t kick in until July 15th…two months later than normal, and it ended toward the latter part of Sept. I’m hearing rumblings of heavy snows and even hints that we could see some white stuff drifting down over the next few nights. I’ll admit…I’m NOT a winter…
I’m blessed beyond measure!! Last month I signed a three-book contract for a new historical romance series, with the David C. Cook Co. I’m extremely excited to be working with such a solid publishing house, and can’t wait to get started. My first book currently titled Katherine’s Hope is due to my editor on June 1st, and releases exactly a year later, in 2013. It’s a long ways to wait for the first book, but after that, the next two…
