Two Great Children’s Books
Wacky Wishes, by Susette Williams A cute little story about a brother and sister that discover a wishing well. As children do, the wishes get fanciful and funnier as the story progresses.

The Trampled Rose
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed. (Psa 34:18 NLT) We are meant to be beautiful roses that grow and bloom under the warmth of God’s love.

Refreshed, Recharged and Rarin’ to Go!
After a year-long break from my blog and my writing, I am fully refreshed and ready to go at it again. Though I am glad I took the break, it wasn’t an easy year. Opening my laptop, I was confronted daily with my Scrivener icon, begging me to finish editing Miracles in Disguise, or begin working
Goin’ Hunting
“During his reign, however, he failed to remove all the pagan shrines, and the people never fully committed themselves to follow the God of their ancestors.” (2 Chronicles 20:33 NLT, emphasis mine) During my morning Bible study, this verse jumped out at me.
