Poor Tom, Trying To Sleep and Smoke, Ever the Pest! One of my cats is snuggled on my lap, trying to sleep while I busily type. Poor Thomas, he’ll give up soon and hop down, and I’ll head to bed. But I wanted to join you for a moment & try to catch up a little. This is such a busy time of year! I’m sure you’re in the same fix…rushing around, baking pies & getting the house ready for…
I found the following excerpt from a book by Willard F. Harvey, Jr., to be helpful and insightful. If we can understand and recognize that we’re different than our spouse…not only physically, but in the way our brain and emotions are wired, indeed our very outlook on life is poles apart, it will take us a long way in honing our communication skills and living peaceably together. It’s evident to any individual involved in a marriage or close relationship with…
What a very nice day! I just returned home from a 2 hour drive to the west side of Portland, to meet with a few other writers from the NW division of the American Christian Fiction Writer’s group. It’s the first time we’ve gotten together since forming the group & while several were unable to attend, it was still a very enjoyable afternoon. And oh joy!!! I stopped at Costco & found the double sink vanity I need for our…
Just a quick note tonight, as it’s been a long day & I’m a bit tired. Then I’ll post the next section in the article on hearing God’s voice. The Lord provided an answer this past week, for two families at a time. We purchased an older 38′ 5th wheel, well used but in very sound condition, a few months ago. Our plan? Park it on our new property & move into it as soon as our house we’re living…
Tonight I’d like to share some thoughts on prayer & learning to hear God’s voice…This will be the first of a three part article I wrote. Tomorrow or Friday, as I have time, I’ll post the second part. Please feel free to post your thoughts on prayer, or share the links you’ve found and enjoyed on the subject. Hearing God’s Voice In the Old Testament we see that God chose to speak primarily through his priests, kings and prophets, and…
For those of you who might not know, I’ve written a contemporary Christian novel geared for women. The Lord blessed me with a wonderful agent about 6 months ago & we’re on the long road toward hopeful contract and publication right now. I had no idea when I started, where this adventure would lead me. In fact, had I realized all that I’ve learned now, I’m not so sure I wouldn’t have back away, shaking my head, saying “I’ll never…
Thanks gals!! You’re the best! It was fun coming to my blog page this afternoon and finding the comments you made. This is me when I was about 4 yrs old…I’ve since switched my allegiance from the phone to the keyboard! Thank you for the kind comments on my picture and the wonderful comments about not looking my age! As I said, I plan on staying young forever! I decided I’d better not hover at 29 anymore though, after my…
Wow! Where to start! Maybe a little intro first, and telling you what I’m hoping to accomplish with this blog. I’m many things…Christian, (all my life pretty much), wife of 34 years, mom of two grown kids, a daughter age 31 & son age 28, soon to be 29…..active in my small church where I serve on staff, lover of Christian fiction, both reading & writing. I’ve been on many journeys during the course of my 50+ years (altho at…
