During prayer one day, the Lord said to a great woman of God I know. “You deny my power to transform your life by your undue and unrelenting focus on your own weakness. How true is that? What a great word? We focus on our own weakness, our powerlessness and decide God can’t do anything for us. There is no …
A writer’s life
Jer, Laura, Ezra, baby AviI love the writer’s life, though it is solitary and isolated. So much of the work resides in my head, and my soul, and until it’s on paper, I’m alone. But it’s the process of getting it from my mind, down through my fingers, onto the page that is fun. Okay, it’s also frustrating, but when …
Boasting and being thankful
Here’s a great verse and thought… 1 Corinthians 1:31 “so that, just as it is written, “LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD.” So come on, let’s boast in the Lord. I’m on my way to turkey dinner, but will post more later. Peace out.
Lambert’s Code Response
Hey ya’ll, I’ve had some response on Lambert’s Code. I’m happy to report. All good. A friend just called and said she finished it this morning and loved it. She cried at the end.

The Bride (you and me) announces that she gets the depth and meaning of her Beloved’s suffering at the Cross.A pouch of myrrh between her breast indicates that she is meditating on …
Song of Solomon 1:12
While the king was at his table, My perfume gave forth its fragrance…We have watched the Bride grow in the revelation of her Lover’s love and affection for her. Jesus is in love with her. With you and me. Remember, the Bride is us. Both corporately and individually.But, she’s still a selfish lover. Jesus is a means, not at end. …
Song of Solomon 1:9 – 11
You remind me of Pharaoh’s well-groomed and satiny mares. Pendant earrings line the elegance of your cheeks;Strands of jewels illumine the curve of your throat.I’m making jewelry for you, gold and silver jewelry.I love horses. When they run, they are beautiful and powerful. Jesus uses the beauty and power of horses to give us a picture of His love for …
Going home
Well, the whirlwind week in Nashvegas is coming to an end. I’m meeting with my lovely and gracious editor, Ami, this morning, then heading home. Yesterday I met with songwriter Karen Staley with my friend, Lisa Young. Had a blast. We just hit it off. She was great. She’s had songs cut by Faith Hill and Trick Pony and others. …
Lost In Nashvegas
My new title! I love it. I do. It’s so Robin, my character. Lost in Nashvega. Nashvegas is a nickname for this great town, but Robin will find her way. I’m having a great time, but am exhausted. Yesterday I spoke with Ree Buchanan of Wrensong Publishing. One of her writers has 2004’s song of the year, Brad Paisley’s Whisky …
