I didn’t think I’d like this book. It’s written in letter form from an author to her editor and friends. But I would’ve missed a touching, heart felt story told by characters that could’ve been my friends. Or relatives. Set in early ’46, right after the war, author Juliet begins corresponding with the residents of Guernsey, (yes, where the cow …
Never A Bride Blog Tour
Hey, I’m honored to have this book on my blog. I’m a few days late, Sorry! But I love Rene Gutteridge and her stories, and am excited to meet Chery McKay. I’ve read the beginning of the book and love it. It’s a great summer read. Here’s a blurb: When God becomes a live-in-the-flesh part of Jessie Stone’s life, Jessie …
Pursuit of Happiness

God provides
I came across this verse last week in 2 Corinthians 8. “As it is written, “He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gather little had no lack.” I love the picture of this verse. God provides all our needs. Even a few of our wants, but if we are living a Sermon on the Mount …
Comforted by God and One Another
I love the Word. It’s so rich, deep, powerful. In the mid-’80s to early ’90s, I struggled with fear and anxiety, and my prescription was meditating, ingesting, believing God’s Word. I read, “I do not have a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind,” and believed it! I quoted it in the hard, heart-pounding moments, and …
A Great letter from a fellow American
I read her letter, coupled with my own thoughts and realized, we are no longer being governed by our elected officials, but by special interests: ACORN, the EPA, the AMA, the Feds, Frannie and Freddy, Unions, Labor, etc. All of our rights are being determined or threatened by an elite few. Speak up, America. Here’s the post from a woman …
A weekend in Nashville
The weekend in Nashville was fun. What a great city — big and exciting but with small town warmth. Country music fans are some of the nicest music fans in the world. As they waited in the hot sun to be let into Rocketown for Sara’s Fan Party, they said nothing when VIP guest went in ahead of them. Same …

Learning about prayer at my Mama’s knees
When I was a little girl, my father smoked. In fact, one of my first memories of him was listening to Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass, playing on the front porch while he smoked a cigar.He had a three packs a day habit. In the early ’60s, a lot of people smoked. My paternal grandmother smoked. My uncles and …
Without God
America is in the midst of many social debates: Prop 8, abortion, helping the poor – but how and by whom, ethnic and minority debates. While listening to Glenn Beck the other day, he was trying to make the point that because he didn’t believe in homosexuals marrying didn’t mean he was against homosexuals as people. He espoused his good …
