WOW! I had the most amazing time at the huge Mall of America book signing 10 days ago. Over 100 Christian authors took part, and the turn out was terrific. Here are a few pictures taken there, as well as at conference of some of my author & aspiring author friends. If you don’t have books yet by the gals designated as published authors, RUN to your local book store and pick one up. These are exceptional writers!I just finished…

I’ll admit that I’m one of “those Christians” that read more fiction than non—less of the self-help books, less Christian living, devotionals, or study guides, than I do fiction. I’ve had some people look askance at me and wonder why I waste my time. Of course, now I’m helping add to the mix by writing Christian fiction, as well. But for years I simply read it. No…devoured would be a more accurate word. Why, you ask? A friend recently told…
I missed Gov. Palin’s speech tonight as I chose to attend our church prayer meeting, but thankfully we have Tivo. My husband and I just finished watching parts of the Republican convention, and all of Palin’s speech. I’ve never yet blogged about anything policical, but am going to stretch out a bit and share my impressions, based on comments posted on other blogs that I’ve just finished reading. There’s a lot of chatter about Gov. Palin’s “cheap shots” that she…
When it rains, it seems to pour…or maybe it’s everything happens in three’s? Actually, I’m praising God that I fell while taking a walk almost two months ago. Remember, the fall on the gravel road where I hit so hard, I gave myself whiplash? Then about two wks later I broke out with shingles. As a result of the fall I pushed to have a neck x-ray, even tho the doctor felt sure it was a whiplash and the pain…
I’m hoping I can get this YouTube video to work, as I’ve never tried to upload something from there. The youth of Oslo UPC Norway from United Pentecostal Church put on this amazing presentation. It was directed by a dedicated youth named Joy and the pastors name is Pastor Goran. They did this presentation to music using white gloves and black light. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I was wrong and so was the pharmacist….the rash that has continued to crop up since my last post is not related to the x-rays that were taken at all….in fact, that would be extremely rare and highly unlikely. The following Monday I went to the doctor and he felt fairly confident in his diagnosis, but sent me on to a dermatologist to be sure. Yep…Shingles, of all things! In case you don’t know, it looks similar to poison oak,…
I have to admit, I’ve experienced better. I hope I don’t have to go through another two weeks like the last two, for many years to come. First, I woke with a slightly stiff neck. You know the feeling…can’t rotate it quite all the way to either side, but not bad enough to go see a doctor or chiropractor? Two days later it hadn’t changed much, but hadn’t gotten worse. I took a long walk on a gravel road and…
