For inquiring minds, my photographer is the amazing Janet Stephens with THG Photography. Be sure to check out her website if you live in Indiana. And if you’re a writer, I hope we’ll be able to consider using her for the 2010 ACFW conference when it’s in Indy.
Reasons I’m Thankful: Day Two
I’m grateful that back in 1990, God introduced a boy from Indiana to a girl from Nebraska in the beautiful town of Colorado Springs. I may have been 16, but I knew at the end of two weeks, that Eric was a man that I should get to know. He loved God in a way that I hadn’t seen in …
Reasons I’m Thankful: Day One
Three beautiful gifts from heaven and the knowledge that another waits in heaven for us. I have been blessed with smart, beautiful, fun-loving children. Kids who push me, challenge me, love me — even when I have to spend time writing and on other projects. I can’t imagine my life without them and am so grateful that God has entrusted …
Yet another reason I don’t watch the View
Homeschooled kids are demented. Hmm. That’s what I’ve been called often. You can watch the clip here. But don’t watch if you don’t want to be annoyed. Ugh. So narrow-minded — and they call conservatives narrow-minded. And skip the first 6 minutes of nothingness.

I’m talking photobooks. I am an avid scrapbooker. But the reality of having a baby, three books release this year, writing …
It’s a long ball game
Writing is a long ball game. You can’t go into it thinking you’ll have a contract in a year. It’s lots of days of methodical plodding along. Putting one foot in front of another. One more time sitting in your chair, fingers attached to the keyboard when there are dozens of other things that seem more appealing. Makes me think …
Time to Rally Around
The election is over. Some of us are saying finally! The mailbox will be a bit emptier now that all of the campaign mail is finished. The election didn’t go the way I’d hoped. But that’s okay. There are several things that I know. 1) God is still on His throne.2) God controls the affairs of men.3) God directs the …
Me, Myself and I Am
This book is different from the kind that I usually review, but when I got the opportunity, I thought it would be fun. I am an avid journaler. I literally have a bookshelf packed with more than 15 journals that cover from the time I was in third grade to present day. Now, I know no one will ever want …
