Make sure you read to the end of the …
Are You Busy Waiting?
Great thoughts from my Hubby: You’re probably familiar with Isaiah 40:31, “but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength”. But there may be more to understanding this verse than you realize. First, the Hebrew word translated “wait” literally means “to be braided together with”. This verse is not speaking of passive waiting, but of actively pursuing intimacy …

What’s Your Word For 2014?
Coming out from under a pretty rigorous deadline and thinking forward to the year. Can you believe it’s February 2014 already? How’s it going so far? I don’t normally pick a “word for the year.” I’ve had one word for the past 3 years, JOY! Why change? But I think this year I’ll add perseverance. Persevere in joy. Persevere in love. …

What’s So Great About Selfies? Take A Look
I really loved this video by Dove. I’m a big fan of selfies. I was taking “selfies” with my camera in the ’80s. We need to see ourselves as others see us. How the camera sees us. Because we’re more beautiful than we think. What about you? Are you comfy with a selfie? [Tweet “Are you comfy with a …
Some Housekeeping Notes
Hey all, Just some minor housekeeping notes on the site. I’ve added a novella, Hurricane Allie, to the books page. This was published originally by Barbour in ’06. Rights were reverted back to me and now it’s published under Forget-Me-Not Romances, a branch of my literary agency. Also, you’ll notice Georgia On Her Mind has a new cover. Originally published …
Georgia On Her Mind Redeaux
A old story. But new cover. Was blessed to be able to re-release this older title from Steeple Hill with Forget-Me-Not Romances. You can find more about it on the book page but just wanted to let y’all know. Just came home from a writing get-away up the road at Teen Missions. Three days of repotting and writing like crazy. …
To The Only Wise God
Lately I’ve notice a shift in our corporate worship service. Have any of you? When we go to songs or choruses, especially spontaneous choruses, declaring the glory and majesty of Jesus, the atmosphere of the room changes. Even better, the atmosphere of my heart changes. For whatever time we spend singing and playing music “to the immortal, invisible, the only …
An interview with Robin Lee Hatcher
When Robin Lee Hatcher’s marriage ended in divorce, she was devastated. “I’d been so convinced God had promised me that He would save our marriage,” the author says, but she quickly learned that sometimes God answers prayer in the most unexpected ways. In the following years, God used the pain of what appeared to be a failed marriage to draw …
