A thought for the day: Believe in God like you believe in the sunrise. Not because you can see it, but because you can see all it touches. — C. S. Lewis

If you’re a board of director for a large Fortune 500 company, should you expect other directors to investigate you and unearth your phone records? I think most of us would say NO. However, that’s what’s happened at Hewlett Packard. Investigators hired by board members impersonated other board members and obtained phone records with partial social security numbers. The new …

In January there was a huge flap in publishing about a non-fiction memoir that wasn’t. James Frey had sold A Million Little Pieces as a true account of his life, but an enterprising reporter got to work and proved that many of the stories in the book were just that — stories. Today the New York Times announced that Random …

I asked Trish to tell us a bit more about how she developed Kara as a character. I have to admit I love the name she choose! Here are Trish’s thoughts. Enjoy! When Kara came into existence, she was originally the heroine’s sidekick, because I actually wrote the follow-up book, Too Good to Be True, first. My publisher decided to …

The Chicago Times recently ran this photo. Someone had a lot of fun creating this billboard. The golden arches move along the array of eating options depending on the time of day. First thing in the morning, it lands on the coffee and by noon it’s on the Big Mac. It makes me hungry just looking at it!

Last week I picked up this book expecting to spend a minute or two in it, and then put it down till I had more time. That plan lasted for the first fifteen pages. By then I could relate to the main character Kara (great name isn’t it!). A smart yet klutzy gal, she stumbles into a cafe that’s under …

And I’m addicted to email. At least that’s what my husband tells me. Repeatedly. At least three times a night lately. Does anyone else have this problem? Please tell me I’m not alone. You see we have one computer with internet access. My laptop is too old and fried for such new fangled things, though it does just fine with …

In honor of Labor Day, the following post is serving double duty. I’m the blogger at Writer Interrupted, a blog with several of my friends about moms who write. Have a blessed day with your friends and family! I’m in a season right now where God is reminding me (on an almost hourly basis) of how very little control of …

I wonder if any of you can relate to this. I’m walking through one of those mega-store, super-centers earlier today. Looking at all the women pushing carts loaded down with kids, groceries, and other sundries. Poor women. I’m glad I’m not that old. Then I look in my cart. One almost three year old little boy, with an almost six …

CONGRATULATIONS to my baby brother Joel who just got engaged and is getting married next month. Wow! It’s really hard to wrap my mind around the fact he’s old enough to get married. Sure, he’ll be 26 at Christmas, but really should a baby brother be allowed to get married no matter how old he is. Michelle, I’ve tried to …
