March All Night
Have you ever had God smack you between the eyes as you are reading? I have, and the most recent occasion was while I was readingSun Stand Still by Steven Furtick.

I’m a Logomaniac
I love to receive a “word of the day.” I especially love it when I can learn a new and interesting word. I subscribe to one such list via email and receive a different one on my iPhone in an app.

A Note to Blog Post Subscribers
On the advice of my new web host, I am (reluctantly) making a change in the method blog subscribers receive my posts via email. The plugin that I have been using apparently chews up too many resources.
I’m sure there are going to be a few unexpected steps I must take or changes I must make to the way I have done things. For now, I plan to opt for the emails to go out daily, but I may change that to weekly. And, of course, there is always the potential for a glitch or two along the way. With an...

I have had a rather chaotic week. After two weeks of website hassles (my own and the blog I handle for a group of writers, Inspired by Life and Fiction), I made the decision to do migrations for both of the sites. In some ways it went smoothly. In others, not so much.
On Monday, my Varidesk arrived. It’s a set up that allows me to change from sitting to standing and back again while at the computer. And as m...
