Being Close To The Crime
I just read a book that was about a murder that happened in and around my hometown. The book is called Bitter Blood. The author, Jerry Bledsoe, was a reporter for our local newspaper when the crime took place and in the years that followed he became a best selling true crime author. I am…

Permission People
“When I was a little girl, I used to dream as a man, because I wanted to do things that women didn’t do back then such as traveling to Africa, living with wild animals, and writing books. I didn’t have any female explorers or scientists to look up to but I was inspired by Dr.…

The Butterfly People
It’s been almost a month since I last posted. I was sick for a couple of weeks, then the Easter prep and festivities happened. And in the middle of it all I’m trying to make a few dollars here and there. Yes, husband is still out of work, a year now. Anyway, I didn’t want…

One Day, Adam
I’m considering taking my book, “When God Got His Hands Dirty” off my Amazon shelf, dusting it off and making some changes. I wrote that book with my middle school students in mind and now I’d like to adjust it for a wider audience and maybe see if I can sell it through a more…

My Saint Patrick Book is Available Now!
Maybe it seems strange for me to be writing children’s books about certain saints, especially since I’m not Catholic.

Three Devotions About Trusting God
I accomplished two things with this post. One, I needed to preach to myself and two, I needed to share a sample of my writing. I hope a third thing happens: I hope you are blessed. Peace, my friends. Three Devotionals on Trusting God 1. Trust God and Not Your Own Understanding “Trust in the…

Trusting God Is Hard
We knew when Steave got laid off 10 months ago that this was something God was doing. We knew because it wasn’t something Steave did or didn’t do, the corporate entity made an indiscriminate choice. There was no one to blame or get mad at. We also knew God was up to something because we…

My Little Books & The Story of St. Valentine
Have you ever heard of the artist, Jackson Pollock? He was an artist whose technique was to throw and drip paint onto a canvas. It seems that his technique was intuitive, not so much planned as felt. I kind of feel like my writing follows his technique: I throw thoughts and words at a page.…
