Long before the Kindle, the Nook, or the Sony reader. Long before the iPad was a spark in Steve Job’s eye, I sold an e-book. I’d written this rancher girl story for Heartsong but they had a book very similar coming out by Kathleen Y’barbo (don’t think I’ve let her forget it) so they turned me down. Writer’s-Exchange was leading …
Journaling, blogging and other drugs
I guess I could say most of my life journaling, or writing a diary, was my “drug.” My self therapy, my way of coping. My first diary was a little red book with a lock and key. I was six. Goodness knows I didn’t want my mom snooping among the pages to find out I didn’t know how to spell …

You’re Being Followed
A few words from Awesome-hubs: I love to pray Psalm 23:6 over people. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;” The Hebrew word translated “follow” is very strong, meaning to “chase after”, usually used in the negative, as in a hunter on the trail of prey. God’s goodness and favor pursue us relentlessly. We …

Eternal Bank Account
It’s so easy to live in the moment. Forgetting the future and living for the present. It’s why saving money is so hard. Do you save for a rainy day or buy that new iPhone or new car? Hmm… if you’re like me, you’re going for the iPhone. A friend of mine saves money it itty-bitty increments. She amazes me. …
Our last week in this house. We’re moving.
I’m ready. To go. Make the change from this house to our next. Hubs and I are investing time in painting the new place. Paying for new carpet and blinds. We’re giving our time and money to something we believe in. There’s a value in that, you know. King David said, “I won’t offer a sacrifice to the Lord that …
Beginning of Sorrows — A word from my Hubby
You Are Here… I was pondering three passages that describe the last days or beginning of sorrows. Understand that this isn’t the time of great tribulation spoken of in Revelation, but what immediately precedes that time, so even if you’re pre-trib, no one escapes these events. You can read them for yourself (Mt 14:4-12, 2 Tim 3:1-5, 2 Pe 3:3), …
