My CD
A word about my CD. I don’t really have a CD. Well, I’ve been recorded. And it’s on a CD, but it’s a live Fire Dweller set and well, ain’t what you’re used to hearing on a CD.It’s a good set, for a live prayer and worship session, but trust me, there are some clinkers. My friend Heather’s been telling …

Sometimes you have to take a day…
… and do errands. Got up for an 8:30 meeting, which went well, but long. Then went to pastor/Fire Dweller leader prayer, followed by our Fire Dweller meeting, followed by lunch with Javi, errands, a visit to Barnes & Noble and at last home.We have a new Fire Dweller motto. Talk is cheap.Now I’m writing a few pages of Diva. …
Increase your tension and your speed
“Increase your tension and your speed.”This is what our spinning instructor said to us this morning. What? Climb a steeper hill and go faster? At 6:15 a.m.? You’re crazy. I went faster, but my hill got smaller. ::wink, wink::Watched “Walk The Line” with Tony. Good movie. Research I suppose. Worked on Diva outline today. Got some feedback on my synopsis …
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday

Good conversation around the light booth with Dave, Trisha, Elizabeth, Chelle and et. al. Afterwards, Tony and I came home and have been talking and doing stuff on our computers. Very nice evening.Damaged Mirror Update: I …
I killed my mirror
Last night, I pulled into the garage – around Tony’s angled truck and the sound equipment trailer.I was a little close to the garage wall, but I made it.This moring, I pull out, checking over my left shoulder to clear Tony’s truck when I hear “crunch.” Look over and the passenger side mirror is crumpled and cracked!! Ah! I killed …
Got the word back
Found an email from my secondary editor in my in-box this morning. Rachel! Rachel, Rachel, Rachel. What a fabulous job you did on your rewrites! Seriously, it was a strong manuscript before, but with the tightening and tweaking you did… Goodness, it’s wonderful! Give yourself a pat on the back.Woo hoo. Big sigh of relief. I sent them to her …
Accomplished today
I did some research for Diva, and started writing her bio as if she were speaking in an interview. It was fun because I just let the information flow and didn’t try to fix it.It’s a great way to learn about the character. Worked on dedication and acknowledgements for Lost In Nashvegas. I loved this part – it’s my favorite. …
Resurrection Sunday
Today’s the day we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead, conquering death and hades. Our church always has a sunrise service on the beach, and today was simply beautiful. But greater than Jesus being raised from the dead, and ascending into heaven, is that he also lives in us. Colossians 1:27 Paul reminds us that “Christ in you, the hope …
