VERSE 1
I could do this all day long
Got to show that I am strong
I’ll wait for you to cool down
To minimize the angry sounds
You fought with me and lost
Stop thinking you’re the boss
This cold war is mine to win

Escape from this place

Next to our home, which we moved into a year ago, was a wooden box filled with soil. Honestly, I thought about taking it apart, getting rid of its contents and replacing the patch with fresh sod. It was an eyesore to say the least. But my ten year old daughter had a plan for it and started to pul...

I write this entry with great concern for the Church of Jesus Christ. I have watched fires burn all across California, but I hear few prophets speak about repentance. In fact, I rarely hear prophets mention repentance or hell anymore. How can this be? I believe the answer lies in the reality that... Read more of this blog post »

A roaring debate on Twitter among romance writers and readers is the definition of a romance novel.

The hard red line for a lot of people is a Happy Ever After ending. Some people are adamant that the loving couple arrive at the end of the book together and in love.

Others, who write series, argue... Read more of this blog post »

Can you believe it’s been a whole EIGHT MONTHS since my last Fave Reads post? 

The desire for connection is what drives so many of us to seek relationships with our animal companions. In this chaotic, crazy, isolating world there’s nothing like a tail wag and the happy smile of a dog welcoming his person. We know the gift of that loyalty and love. But I wonder if we always...

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It’s been six months and four days since my last confession. Father, I have hurt others in the most horrid ways.

When you concentrate all your time and energy on a celebrity personality, you can quickly lose sight of the things that really matter.

When everybody is against them, it is tough being a lifeliner, as Nash Bannon found out. Lifeliners are ordinary people…almost.
