Who Is Isaiah?

When children list their superheroes, we get Batman, Superman, Spiderman, and maybe—now that we’re raising more sophisticated children—Captain America and/or Iron Man. Diligent, Bible-teaching parents might invest in the Super Heroes of the Bible Sticker and Activity book. I would be surprised if the prophet Isaiah was featured in this book. He’s generally not listed with Old Testament greats like:  ...

Who Is Isaiah’s Wife?

I attended my favorite annual conference—ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers)—at the end of September. It’s always fun to meet new-to-me authors—some published, some aspiring, and some so new to writing they’re not even aspiring yet!   At one lunch discussion, I met a sweet gal named—Jerusha. Upon hearing her name, I squealed, “I’ve never met a Jerusha!!”  She looked rather startled. ...

Who is Isaiah’s Daughter?

Let’s face it…daughters are a special class of people. I’m one. I birthed two. And I’m a proud GramMesu to four grand ones! Sons and grandsons are wonderful, too, I know—I’m married to an amazing one—but they’re made of snips and snails and puppy dog tails. Right? Little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice? Okay…most of ...

Review of MANY SPARROWS by Lori Benton

I was so honored to read this book for endorsement in its early stages. Besides the fact that Lori is a long-time friend and amazing author, I was excited because it would be the first book of hers that I’d read since endorsing her debut, Burning Sky, back in 2013. That one won the Christy … Read More

Help for Control Issues

Here’s how I realized I had control issues. I began struggling with chronic health issues when our daughters were in junior high. Because of the myriad of unusual and unexplained symptoms, I was sure I had some latent cancer that the docs weren’t finding, and I was no doubt dying. My first thought? I told my husband we needed to ...
