One More Thing to be Thankful for…
Katherine Parker, a writer with the Washington Post Writer’s Group, has a great op-ed today that is running in papers around the country. In Amazing Grace and Other Things she highlights one more thing that people should be thankful for. I’ll just quote her closing paragraphs here: Whatever one believes — or doesn’t — it’s impossible to ignore that the …
International Buy Nothing Day
I now know there is a day for everything. The day after Thanksgiving is usually a day I race around to snatch up bargains. It’s also usually the last day I willing choose to shop for Christmas presents. The crowds simply take the pleasure out of shopping for me after that. I’m not sure when that happened. Maybe around the …
Law enforcement in Indianapolis
The Indianapolis Star has run a couple interesting stories this week on law enforcement. Yesterday, the article focused on the rash of upcoming retirements at the Police Department and Sheriff’s Department. One man quoted in the article says it takes ten years to get a new cop experienced enough to be seasoned. As I read the article, I envisioned all …

It’s really fun and surreal all at the same time. Tina is also running a fun contest on her blog for free books: just submit your rejections stories. Check it out.
Review: Scoop
As I mentioned yesterday, Scoop was a book that I had a little trouble pigeon-holing into a genre. By the time I finished it last night, I decided it was a truly fun read that’s best classified as a Rene Gutteridge original. Add a cup of comedy, a pinch of mystery, a dash of romance, and wha la (or however …
Scoop
The Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is hosting Scoop by Rene Gutteridge this week. I have been reading and enjoying this book this week. I’ll post a review tomorrow. I’ve decided it is a book that is hard to slide into a genre. I’ve enjoyed reading it, but it’s not suspense, it’s not romance, it’s not women’s fiction. I think it …

As more bloggers are sued for going too far, I encourage you to check out this guide if you are a blogger. Juries have awarded verdicts up to $11.3 million against people who posted libelous …
