A Moment to Hold Onto
There are many moments in my life that I treasure. Sometimes they come in bunches, and sometimes less frequently. This past week has been a list of treasured moments, one after the other, and I’ve loved every minute of making them. There was one moment in particular, I snuggled my granddaughter on my knee and read a short story to her that has been a favorite through the years, both the original and the rewritten story that I published several years ago. She snuggled in for the story and I read it, sharing the nuances of the miracle that is … Continue…
It’s Time to Scare the Pants off the Natives
According to my friend Danielle, you’ll surely get a fright when you read Burning Embers. Danielle hasn’t ridden with this night driver before, but she swears she sat on the edge of her seat as she read the story. Can’t get much better than that!

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, but instead they make the best of everything they have. You have life! It may not be the life you want, but if you don’t like it change it. Your beginning does not have to be your end!
A Joyful Heart Grieves
Out of my grief springs the joy of knowing, understanding that I miss my mother’s presence here on earth, but she’s alive and well walking the shores of Heaven. Her body, broken and poured out, here on earth, is fully restored in Heaven. I thought this week, often about how I miss my Mom. I miss her presence here. I miss having her to call when I just want to talk, or want to make a connection to something solid – because my Mom was always solid. She was well grounded, solid in her faith and secure in her life. … Continue…
