It’s Monday, going on one o’clock. I’m late getting started today! I had to blog for Faithchick, so hop on over to www.faithchick.com and check it out. I can’t remember what I wrote, but I’m sure it’s brilliant! Writing today, Sports Cardio at 5:00, then more writing. The Young Women’s conference, “Raising The Bar” is this weekend, so I need …

Tony and I went to lunch with a new, young couple at church, Mattthew and Elisa, 23. They are getting married next month, but are down here working. She lives with his parents and he’s holding down their soon to be newlywed apartment.Over stromboli’s and hot subs, we talked about the Lord and what He’s doing today. Shared our testimonies, …

Last night, I was reading my new release, Lambert’s Code. I got my author copies in the mail yesterday and was really excited. How cool! I always read the printed copy, so started it before Step, then read more before bed. Lambert’s Code was a hard book to write, and I had anxiety attacks over it. So, I’m reading away, …

. . . Or better known as Mary the Devotee. Get this – she’s mentioned in Matthew 26, Mark 14, John 12, and possibly in Luke 7 if you think she’s the “sinner woman.” Why? Because she poured out a costly perfume on Jesus, wept and wiped His feet with her hair. She shamelessly showed her devotion in front of …

Last night at youth church, Dave and I got in a groove with the band and starting singing antiphonally. Only Dave can make a D to G chord progression sound “groovin’.” Yeah you heard me, groovin’. I started singing, “I’m gonna waste my life on something, I might as well waste it on you, Jesus.” Dave echoed with “You are …

Starting a new book is always thrilling. Then, a third of the way through I have to remind myself that, yes the first draft is hard, yes it all sounds the same and cliche. It will get better. It will get better. It always does. Plowing over blank white pages is like plowing through eighteen inches of fresh fallen snow, …

Krista (Steeple Hill Editor extraordinaire) snail mailed a copy of the cover for Georgia On Her Mind. Very cool, ya’ll. I don’t have a scanner, so I can’t put it up for you to see, but it’s very peachy keen! Wow! It’s so cool to see the cover. With my name on it! I feel this way about the Heartsongs, …

The citizens of Jerusalem were celebrating the Feast of Booths (Tabernacle) and for some reason, had a tradition of pouring out water.Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Any man who thirsts, let him come to me and drink!” Any one of us can go to Jesus if we are thirsty. But there are so many things competing for …

Krista Stroever, Steeple Hill Editor, and me. What is with my eyes? I look like Cat Woman! Krista looks great! I slept until noon-twenty, went to the store with Tony, ate lunch, watched a Bob Hope movie, “My Favorite Brunette.” I paid attention to scene beginnings and endings since it was a detective, stream-of-consciousness type of movie. There were a …

I keep thinking of conference things, but now that I want to write them down, I forget. Ok, here’s one. Karen Ball was speaking and she asked, “Are you all called to write?”We answered a muddy, “Yes.”So, she asks again, loud! “Are you called to write?”“Yes!” We shout a little louder.And then a third time. “Are you called to write?”“Yes!” …
