My Thoughts: Life's Simple Pleasures

picture taken from pixabay.com I live in Northern Virginia. A place that has all four seasons. This winter, the weather was particularly exhausting. It’s not that it snowed constantly. It’s not that it was frigid daily. It’s because all at once, Winter Storm Jonas decided to dump a mountain of snow on our doorsteps. My kids missed seven days of school thanks to it.

But now, the sun is shining. The birds are singing. People are smiling. Flower buds are blooming. I can’t tell you how happy we ar...

My Thoughts: Grace

You ever notice a theme in your life? Hear a certain word over and over? Wonder if God is trying to tell you something?

That's what I'm beginning to think. In January and February, I wrote a rough draft of a novel which is book two in a series I'm doing. The theme: grace.

Then I read a book with the same theme. And then I went to church with the same theme. I can't tell if God is asking me to be more graceful, to continue writing about grace, or if He simply wants me to share what I've learned...

Review: Terri Blackstock's If I Run

My, oh my, oh my do I have a review for you today! I just finished reading If I Run by Terri Blackstock. My mind is still spinning, but let me see if I can make sense of my thoughts for you.

First, the story wasn't at all what I was expecting. I've read Ms. Blackstock in the past. I enjoy how she does suspense. In my opinion, it's out of the box, but that's what makes her writing interesting. Sometimes the same ol' formula of suspense gets tiring. With that said, I was NOT prepared for this b...
