Well, I missed doing a round up at the end of August. I know there was a reason for that at the time. I just can’t remember it now.

Spring cleaning has started in earnest. I have so many bags in the garage waiting to be taken to various op shops. My Japanese maple has finally started flowering in...

It’s a wrap on the first week of filming The Protector Movie. I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to describing the week I’ve had. Incredible. Beyond my wildest dreams. Utterly amazing. I really need to collect my thoughts. This movie is going to be insanely good. The director, Tosca,...

She’s so cute. Kate thought we wouldn’t have enough to talk about with this week’s podcast because the featured book is so simple in both text and image. Little did she know!!!

Maybe you have this feeling that circumstances should be better than they are.



Relationships should be better than they are.



Your marriage should be better than it is.



Finances should be better than they are.

Drew Wilkerson is a dangerous man. Not in the physical sense. Well, yeah, technically it could be related to something physical, but he’s the type of man that could get away with the most ratchet of offenses and walk away from the incident both unscathed and with two more...

So last week I was out on the patio in the sun, spreading out my printed pages for my manuscript because I accidentally wrote a few scenes out of order and needed to SEE it to get it in the right order … and naturally the winds kicked up. I wish you could have seen me running through the woods, y...

An exciting new fantasy book for children.

If someone has physical access to your locked -- but still running -- computer, they can probably break the hard drive's encryption. This is a "cold boot" attack, and one we thought solved. We have not:

Worry is the product of high stakes and low control, coupled with expecting the worst. There’s no greater enemy of happiness.

There’s a subtle aspect to worry: if we care, we think we should worry, as if that will help somehow. In fact, worry has absolutely no redemptive value. When good things a...

Hi everyone,

Now, if you follow me on Facebook, you will know that earlier this year I started to write a book that has a super possessive, stalker alpha male that is 100% completely devoted to his woman. Well, I got such an amazing response and to be honest I wasn’t even sure I was going to submi...

Like most political journalists in Washington, D.C., I just knew Donald Trump’s presidential campaign was over the minute he insulted John McCain.

On July 18, 2015, just a month after declaring his candidacy, Trump groused that the Arizona Senator and former Republican presidential nominee “was a...

De când s-a luat decizia privind Referendumul pentru revizuirea Constituției am avut ocazia să văd tot felul de păreri exprimate online, fie pro, fie contra, dar ce mă surprinde cel mai tare este că observ în rândul oamenilor de cultură (oameni despre care credeam până mai ieri că datorită cunoșt...

Hi Everyone,

I hope you’ve had a great week since the last blog.

I’ve had some startling news about my home in San Francisco. It’s in a quiet residential neighbourhood, across from a park. Children play in the park, and there is a dog park for the neighbourhood dogs. And it’s a pretty peaceful pl...

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8

Pure is katharos

It means unmixed.

Cleansed.

So if we seek God with

Unmixed motives.

Unmixed loyalties.

Unmixed objectives.

And the seeking is

Not for show.

Not out of obligation.

Not half-hearted.

We will see God.

Not just in...

This year, Emmy wants to be Crookshanks, Hermione Granger’s cat.

I broke three needles on this. But now I can check “fur suit” off the skills list.
