Please NOTE—I don’t ever blog about TV topics, and I just posted a new one earlier tonight (see below) on getting your husband to talk to you, so be sure to scroll down and catch it. I thought I’d jump into a fairly hot controversy that’s raging right now. My husband and I enjoy American Idol each week, as we like getting to know the singers and really enjoy many of the voices. But we’ve been surprised that Sanjaya has…
This is an article I found online and am reprinting for your enjoyment. It’s too long to post in one setting, so will be doing it in five parts. Come back often, it’s worth reading! How to Get Your Husband to Talk to You by Nancy Cobb and Connie Grigsby My husband, David, has been working on a large project that takes up a lot of his free time. He has sacrificed time, energy, and money to make everything work…
5 Things Your Husband Wants You to Know 1. I want to please you sexually. It’s humiliating for men to ask for directions, so help us by giving us a road map for sex. 2. I need you, but I need others, too. When guys want to know what to do, not how to feel, they turn to male friends. 3. I want to find meaning in my work. We derive satisfaction from what we do. So support us as…
It’s been an amazing week….first the call from my agent about the possibility of a movie, then I get a chance to be involved in the art for the cover of my book. I was given the opportunity to take a shot at setting up a photo op that we thought might be appropriate, and the wonderful people at Kregel were awesome enough to allow me to try. I got some great shots, and they’re taking a look at them…
Wow! I’m sitting here at my computer feeling completely stunned by a call I got last night from my agent. She and I both assumed most of our current business with one another was complete, after we signed with Kregel for my new book. But no…there’s more. Yesterday she received a very unexpected phone call from a representative from the family division of a major motion picture studio. They saw a brief summary of my book online, and think it…
Remember to leave a comment on my blog or website, to enter this months drawing for a signed copy of The Other Daughter. It’s releasing this fall, and I’d love to see you get one free! If you’d prefer not to leave your email address on your post, please just shoot a note off to me via my email, so I’ll have it in case you win. I’d hate to draw a name and not have any idea who you…
Another way the Lord speaks to us is through a gentle ‘nudge’ to our spirit. It might be a quiet voice speaking through our conscience, or an impression that comes into our mind while praying, worshiping or considering a problem. Romans 8:14, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.” It’s important to spend time with the Lord in prayer, opening our hearts and spirits to His voice and waiting on…
Praying for our Spouse or a friend…Praying the Word.I was emailing a gal tonight who’s been struggling in her marriage. Her husband had fallen away from the Lord due to hurts and disillusionment caused by others. He’s allowed bitterness and resentment to rob him of his walk with the Lord and turn him into an angry, hurting man.She’s been hurting too…knowing that the man she married is still in there somewhere, but not sure how to help him, or help…
It looks like it’s final. I got an email from my publisher today and he tells me that the marketing team has decided the title is to be…. The Other Daughter My title, Yesterday’s Child, was being used by a number of books and they wanted something that was representative of the tension inherant in the story line as well as giving a hint to the plot. The cover is being worked on right now and I was told I’d…
Our pastor shared something this morning that I thought was very appropriate for this group…the definition of crazy. Here’s the definition….IF you keep on doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep on getting what you’ve always got. Draw a circle in the air and think about the circle being unbroken and unending. If we keep on behaving in ways we have always behaved, but still believe that we’ll get different results than we’ve gotten in the past, we’re crazy! It…
