October Wrap Up

And another month gets checked off the calendar. November is here already. Today, November 1st, is National Authors Day. That’s kind of cool. And speaking of cool, the incredibly warm autumn we have enjoyed looks to be coming to an end soon. One thing I can be thankful for this month is our new higher efficiency furnace to keep us warm as the temperatures drop. But now it is time to look back at the month that just ended for my regular wrap up. Here goes.

Movie Review: God’s Not Dead

A little over a week ago, I finally had the chance to watchGod’s Not Dead. Can I just say, WOW!

Truly, truly, I found this to be one of the best made Christian movies that I may have ever seen. Well acted. Good script with totally believable dialogue.

The basic plot is that Josh, a Christian college student, is in the class of an atheist professorwho insists that all of the students write on a piece of paper, “God is dead.” If it is unanimous, they can skip over what he considers unnecessary to...

Cover Reveal: I Hope You Dance

I have loved reading the novellas in the e-firstA Year of Weddingsseries. So when I was asked if I would like to write one for the second year, I jumped at the chance.

This time around, the heroes and heroines aren’t the brides and grooms. In each of these stories, either the hero or heroine (or both) will be somehow involved in orchestrating the perfect wedding day for other couples.

InI Hope You Dance, Skye Foster has been hired to teach bride and groom and the bridesmaids and groomsmen how t...

Don’t Look Behind!

My church just finished a year-plus long study of the Gospel of John. Rich, rich stuff!

I have a particular fondness for the final chapter of this book in the Bible (and have blogged about it more than once). It is a favorite for lots of reasons. But here are the verses I wanted to share with you today:

Peter therefore seeing him [John, who was following Jesus and Peter] said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you...
