Kate's Innocence | Book Review and Giveaway

Once again, I'm happy to be a part of a fellow-author's blog tour! I have read a few of Sarah's books and enjoyed her new release, Kate's Innocence.
ABOUT THE BOOKWhat would you do if you were accused of a crime you didn’t commit?

Kate watched as her campus was torn apart by bombs and now is being accused of perpetrating the crime. As the evidence quickly stacks up against her, she begins to lose hope that the truth will come to light. Even though the handsome FBI Agent, Patrick, has taken up h...

Word Wednesday #80 | Link-up

"The Lord is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity...Behold, O Lord; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death." Lamentations 1:18,20

The repentant heart acknowledges that the difficulty is because of rebellion, that God is righteous to judge. Unrep...

Biblically Speaking - Sodomy

I'll take a break from the Psalm 119 study to share a little in another study the Lord led me to do this past summer. At camp this year, one of the preachers challenged us to do a word study and see what (Biblically) is abomination to God. We had been discussing sodomy and the recent turn of our nation. It is easy to look at sodomy and say "this is an abomination to God." However, that is not the only abomination in the sight of God (though it is true that sodomy was the only Biblical account...

Kayla | Photoshoot (senior pictures)

A couple of weeks ago, I received a text message to the extent of, "Someone asked me to do their senior pictures and I can't do it--will you?" Wouldn't I? Of course!!

I was so, so grateful when the Lord "dropped" this senior photoshoot in my lap! A friend was unable to take the pictures so asked me to step in for her. Kayla and I met downtown and around just a couple of blocks and an hour, we had over 100 fantastic pictures!! It is so enjoyable to photograph photogenic people. I know that I ha...

Forgiven | Book Review

 ABOUT
After a son does the unthinkable, how can a mother go on?

On October 2, 2006, a gunman entered an Amish one-room schoolhouse, shooting ten girls, killing five, then finally taking his own life. This is his mother's story. Not only did she lose her precious son through suicide, but she also lost her understanding of him as an honorable man. It was a trauma that none should ever have to face.

But the biggest headlines came when her Amish neighbors did the unimaginable, reaching out to...

A Moment of Weakness | Book Review

Honestly, this is a tough book to review because...I didn't read it. I received it for my honest review (from Blogging for Books) and then Mom got around to reading it before I did, and told me that I wouldn't want to read it based on the very descriptive bedroom scene (or the thoughts and temptations they had). And based off that review, I decided that nope, I wouldn't try it. For which I was somewhat disappointed, because I really enjoyed the first book in this series, in whi...

Word Wednesday #79 | Link-up

"For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you." Deuteronomy 20:4

Such is true in the spiritual world--"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood." And in these battles, we must arm ourselves with God's armor. Our flesh cannot fight spiritual battles; we must rely on the Lord.
