Feasting on comfort food

I love cookbooks. As I've started packing my kitchen, I've run across some wonderful cookbooks I hadn't visited in a while. Several were gifts from Mom. She always wrote notes inside them and those notes are extra special to me now. Through the years, we often bought the same cookbook when shopping or traveling together, and when she was here visiting, she'd go through my copy and draw little

I've fallen...but I CAN get up!

I was packing yesterday and came across a memory. This is one of the things about the moving process––actually, it's about the ONLY thing about the moving process––that I enjoy... Coming across items or mementoes I've forgotten. That happened to me last night.
Take a look at the golf score card below. Notice the "9" on the sixth hole by Mark's name...

Just hit SEND

I just hit SEND, and Within My Heart––all but the epilogue, which I'm writing––is winging its electronic way to my editor's inbox. Gracious, this book has been a struggle. I started it at the end of 2008, got a few chapters written and then Mom was diagnosed with cancer last February. And then my world kind of tilted.
I'm not sure whether God has brought the stories I've written in order to help

The forbidden fruit

It's another snowy day here in Nashville (at least while I'm posting this), and I'm tucked inside, writing, still pushing toward home on this book. But I wanted to share a bit of an epiphany moment for me that happened this past Sunday.I'm being so blessed by the teaching at the church we attend, and this past Sunday's lesson was no exception. We're studying Genesis and we're currently in the

From everlasting to everlasting

Pictures are such an inspiration for me when I'm writing. Especially pictures of Colorado, since that's been the setting for my novels to date. Friend and photographer, Delmar Schroeder of Greeley, Colorado is so kind to send me photographs he's taken from all over Colorado––from the mountains to the prairies. And I'd like to share some of them with you today.


But before you click on the video

A story of faith and hope

You may remember when I posted on a precious young woman, Carley Cottingham, back in October. She had undergone surgery in which the doctors had to remove her right hand. FOX news went to her home recently and interviewed her along with her parents, and Carley told her story, beautifully! What a brave and courageous gal!

Click to watch that interview.



Carley, you look so good on that

A book I can't wait to read

One of my favorite authors is Francine Rivers and (I'm doin' the happy dance!) she has another book coming out in March. And it "looks" marvelous. Enjoy!
