Today, I got way-laid. By my fasting husband. We’re joining in the fast called by “The Call” to interceed for our nation, and while we have grace, gotta tell ya, fasting is not always easy. But when I see the picture above, of a man humbled and weeping over baby shoes, representing the millions of aborted American babies, my youth …
Book signing at Wal-Mart today
I signed New Hampshire Weddings at my local Wal-Mart today. I had quite a few buyers, but had to do the usual – stand beside the table and pitch the book to passers by. I’m not Nora Roberts or Karen Kingsbury yet. Or Debbie Macomber. But, God has it all under control. I talked to several customers for an extended …
Radical ?
I feel weak not radical. How can fasting be radical? Because it weakens. In our weakness, He is strong. Funny how strength so often is really found in weakness. Humility, kindness, giving. If one is humble, giving, selfless, contrite, then no one or thing can own them. If one seeks power, they are subject to those who hold power. Their …
Mid year check up, sorta
Okay, it’s not exactly mid-year, but several things have been on my mind this week so I thought I’d post them now. Last year, 2006, was a year of change. Our chuch changed it’s name, Tony and I handed over the youth ministry, several of our friends moved far away, my mom sold her house and moved, my sister had …

Funday
Nice day. Church followed by a ride down to Vero Beach to see Debbie Macomber speak and get a copy of her new book. Rode down with fellow RWA Star member, Lee. We had a great time and Debbie was lovely, gracious and funny, as always. The book store was packed with Debbie’s fans. ***Take this weekend to thank the …
Hope Deferred
I was listening to Francis Frangipane teach on spiritual strongholds, and I’ve been pondering his comments about Proverbs 13:12. “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.” He said that the devil uses unfulfilled desires to bring us into bondage, and that often he could tell where someone had a spiritual …
Never Planned On This
The goal today was to clean my office. I submitted “Sweet Caroline” yesterday and was really looking forward to doing some deep house cleaning. I thought, first, deal with the office. And the books! So many books. I was sorting through them and next thing I know, I’m logging them into Amazon for resale. I am now an Amazon reseller. …
The Restorer and Sharon Hincks
Hi Everyone, My friend Sharon Hincks has a new release. It sounds fabulous. The Restorer Blurb Susan, a modern-day soccer mom, is pulled through a portal into another world, where a nation grappling for its soul waits for a promised Restorer to save their people. Can she fill that role? While she struggles to adapt to a foreign culture, she …
Glenn Beck and religion
I’m a fan of Glenn Beck. I try to listen to him for an hour or so in the morning while doing junk around the house. He’s bold and confronts so many of the idiocies in our social mind set. But he’s sort of all wet on one thing. Religion. He constantly says he doesn’t care what someone believes, and …
