Hey, Everybody! I hope you’ll join me in welcoming Heather Day Gilbert. She’s one remarkable lady with her debut novel just now releasing. When Susie asked me over (thank you, Susie!), she suggested I could blog on why I write. That got the wheels turning,… Continue Reading “Why I Write. A guest post from Heather Day Gilbert”
The other day, I wrote about feeling helpless. Today, I’m writing about feeling empowered to do something to help. Specifically to help those in the Philippines who are suffering in the aftermath of the Typhoon. We serve a God who moves and loves and… Continue Reading “Mercy For The Philippines”
Can I be perfectly and totally honest with you? My heart is heavy. Troubled. Burdened. I’ve been biting the inside of my cheek a lot the last few days (one of my don’t-cry coping skills). Oh. I’m fine. The kids are great. Marriage is… Continue Reading “When Your Heart Is Heavy and Troubled”

November starts this Friday. How that happened, I don’t know. But the year has sped by. Remember that girl? From last November? That’s me. Yup. In the throes of November. The agony of writing a first draft in one month. It’s called National Novel… Continue Reading “November Cometh”
Time for some fun. Namely, 5 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me. (I was going to do 10…but that seemed a little crazy). 1. In third grade I had a short, unflattering haircut. My teacher mistook me for a boy named D.J. It… Continue Reading “5 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me”
