30 Words of Thankfulness

For November, I decided to meditate on 30 words that I'm super thankful for. I shared the first fifteen on Thanksgiving Day. Here are the rest!
It's past Thanksgiving, but as believers, we should never stop being thankful! What are you thankful for!

More Book Fun! (Giveaway and Game)

Books I read - November 2016

Didn't I just do October's post? Wow! November wasn't a big reading month for me. I'm still in the middle of my book about writing and then a devotional book (so December's reading diet will be more than just fiction), but here's what I did get finished...

Click on the covers to read my reviews.





I also had the opportunity to read two books by young, aspiring authors. Since they're not published yet, I can't paste a review. ;) But they were fun stories set in the medieval time.
And now that I sai...

Two Impromptu Arrangements

Yesterday, as I realized that it was coming upon Wednesday and I hadn't prepared a song to record, I decided I wanted to do something different -- an impromptu arrangement. You know, just sit down and play (okay, so maybe I did actually figure out the chords for "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" before hitting record...).
I asked my FaceBook friends for suggestions and got several responses. I had so much fun doing one that I decided to do two on the fly. ;) Here they are.
What songs would you like to...

"So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God." 2 Chronicles 27:6Compared to 2 Chronicles 12:14, "And [Rehoboam] did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD."Too often, we try to be "accidental Christians" -- assuming that we will do right just because God is good, or because we're saved. But doing right (even for the believer) takes work and preparation - purposeful living. How much time do we spend daily, preparing our hearts and ways before...

Birthday Bash!

Today, I'm excited to be a part of my friend's book birthday bash! When I first heard about Faith Blum, her book titles intrigued me (I mean, combine hymns and western and I'm so hooked!). I have since gotten to know this lovely young lady and recommend her books for those who like clean westerns. If you're a writer, keep reading to the end of the post, because I invited Faith to share some of her research gold mines. But first, let's celebrate!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday, hands'-down. It is probably a mix of the focus (to be honest, sometimes gifts get in the way of the focus of Christmas), or because I love the way that our family celebrates it -- each of us children makes a dish, and we all come together at Dad and Mom's home to enjoy a feast (okay, so technically only one sibling doesn't live on our property...). But that isn't the best part. After we've filled ourselves to the point of possibly-sinning-with-glu...
