Since 9-11, six thousand Americans have died: 3K in the towers. 3K fighting to preserve freedom. In the meantime, 5 million babies have been aborted. Babies with a life and destiny someone didn’t think mattered. Evil perpetuates when good men and women do nothing. Since Row v. Wade, more babies have been killed by abortion than the men and women …
Finished a book in 24
I can’t remember the last time I read a book in 24 hours. Maybe Bob Larson’s “Dead Air” because I thought it was so ridiculous and I kept waiting for him to redeem the Saints. Maybe it was Elizabeth Berg, “Dream When You’re Feeling Blue.” I picked up Maggie O’Farrell’s “The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox” at the airport yesterday, …
Such a cliche
… Men in starched shirts, pressed slacks, thick black case by their feet as they stand before the airport gate, phone device in their ear as they talk, as if to the air, about marketing and ops getting it together, about calling an all-hands meeting, getting production to come up to speed. I’ve heard the conversations. Different face, different place, …

I crack myself up…
For reason I’ll keep to myself, I’m reading my old diaries. I gotta tell you, if you’re a teenager or have a teenager, please, keep a diary or tell them to keep a diary. I love pulling out my diaries and reading them. I laugh out loud every other page. I kept them for seventeen years and after I got …
Brad Pitt on Brad Pitt
I liked this quote. [Time magazine, 10/13/97] You shouldn’t speak until you know what you’re talking about. That’s why I get uncomfortable with interviews. Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? I’m a [bleeping] actor! They hand me a script. I act. I’m here for entertainment. Basically, when …
I am…
… listening to Christmas music. I’m such a sap. 😉 In other news, my summer release from Thomas Nelson, Love Starts With Elle, is Romantic Times Book Club Reviews, TOP PICK for July. Well, one of three. I’m stoked. It’s my first Top Pick. All glory goes to Jesus! I really was worried about this book because I wrote it …
Memorial Day
I was probably six or seven years old when I became aware of the Vietnam war. We lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma and my dad attended ORU and worked part-time as a youth pastor. The teens then – oh, they seemed so old and mature to me – wore aluminum wrist bands with the name of their friends or family fighting …
Sunday afternoon napping
Sleeping… coming to now and then… watching Gilmore Girls reruns on DVD. (Thanks, Jodi!) It’s a beautiful day here. Worship went well this morning. I am blessed with such a good band! Nevertheless, God seemed to enjoy our singing. Went out to lunch with a guest and I managed to stay within Weight Watcher’s points.
