Jet Lag
Just returned from adventures in Spain and Morocco. I will blog about it in few days.
My book proposal has been turned in, I hope to start writing again soon!
I'm on my way to Fresno to speak at The People's Church on Saturday.

Faith Like Hadassah
I wish I could say I had faith like Hadassah (main character from A Voice in the Wind). But I have been told (by family members in-the-know) that I sometimes go into "frantic Frani" mode. Yesterday was one of those days.

Mother's Day
The lovely ladies from our women's ministry team held a luncheon last Saturday in honor of Mother's Day. Everyone was encouraged to bring salads. Having any kind of potluck at church is like Jesus and the loaves and fishes: enough to feed thousands.

Easter Loss and Celebration
We came home after church on Easter and I went to a lovely ladies' tea party outside Cloverdale. Rick and Travis stayed home to enjoy one another company's, and I offered no apologies for abandoning them on this special celebration day. My friend Loretta has tea parties that would make Kate Middleton plead to come.

Sons of Encouragement
A few days ago, I received a pleasant surprise: the new omnibus edition of the Sons of Encouragement. Caleb is on the cover. I love the story of Caleb. He and Joshua were the only men who believed the Israelites could conquer the Promised Land the first time they approached because God was with them. Unfortunately, the rest of the mass of people (including Moses and Aaron) didn't have their confidence. So Caleb, who spoke up first and said "Let's go!" had to wait another forty years before he could step foot in the land God had given them.
