Thank you for being a part of my life by reading my stories and by sharing them with others. Thank you for the words of encouragement you share with me via emails and Facebook and Twitter. Thanks for sharing your own stories with me. We have laughed together and we have cried together and we have prayed for one another. My life has been richer because of you, each and every one of you.

A Week of Thanksgiving

This week in America, many will celebrate a holiday known as Thanksgiving. It’s the day we stuff ourselves with turkey and dressing so that we’ll have the energy to go out to brave the Black Friday crowds. Right?

Wrong. At least the latter isn’t true for me. I have never been a Black Friday shopper. One year our oven died on Thanksgiving Day, so I had to buy a new one on Black Friday. That gave me my fill of that particular experience for a lifetime, thank you very much.

And seriously, Thanksgi...

Movie Review: Mockingjay, Part 1

Jerry and I returned a short while ago from seeing the new Hunger Games movie, Mockingjay, Part 1. I continue to be impressed by how well the filmmakers have turned this series of books into movies.

Mockingjay was my least favorite book in the series, but I liked the movie (part 1) a lot. It’s a war film, to be sure, but the characters are who make the film good.

Whatever Comes My Way

If you have been a regular reader of my blog for some length of time, you know that my favorite devotional is the updated version of Streams in the Desert by L.B. Cowman (update by Jim Reimann). This book entered my life at a time of great distress and upheaval. Day in and day out, the words I read spoke straight into my need. I wore out the paperback version I started with. Now I use the imitation leather bound version. I’ve put tabs on dozens of pages. I’ve highlighted and underlined countl...

My latest book,Love Without End, had a release date of 11/18/14 all this year. I knew that the bookstarted arriving in stores around the first of this month because readers told me they’d found it and bought it. But Amazon and B&N and iBooks were still showing the release date of the 18th. Then on this Tuesday morning, that changed. Suddenly the release date was 11/11/14, and ebooks started arriving on readers.
