• Oct. 16th, 2012 Detailed Directions? Not exactly…

    I like detailed directions. Extremely detailed. If you ever need directions to my house, I don’t just say turn left on this street and right on that one. Oh no. I include important information such as “Approximately 8/10 of a mile after you turn left you’ll come to a curve that makes you feel like [ read more ]

  • Oct. 12th, 2012 When A Heart Stops

    When A Heart Stops Book 2 in the Deadly Reunions Series Back in May of 2011, I reviewed Too Close to Home by Lynette Eason . It was the first in the 3-book Women of Justice series and all three were excellent.

  • Oct. 9th, 2012 My Hardwood Heart

    I hate carpet for one reason. You can’t clean it. You can get most of the spots out. But they’ll come back. Because they weren’t ever really gone. And that’s why I love the hardwood floors in my house. Herds of small children can run around carrying cups of purple grape juice and I don’t [ read more ]

  • Oct. 5th, 2012 Life with Lily

    I recently had the opportunity to take part in a unique blog tour. Instead of reviewing the book myself, I could ask a friend to read and review Life with Lily by Mary Ann Kinsinger and Suzanne Woods Fisher. I knew exactly who I would ask—my dear friend, Emily. Emily is an avid reader and a fabulous writer [ read more ]

  • Oct. 2nd, 2012 Unsettled

    Hosea 10:12~ Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you. (ESV) I hesitated to post this today for two reasons. 1. It’s such a First World Problem. Are you familiar with this concept? The [ read more ]

  • Sep. 25th, 2012 How Intentional Have You Been Lately?

    How intentional have you been lately? I’ve been hit-or-miss. Mostly miss. Which is a shame, since INTENTIONAL is my word for the year . As we discussed last week , there are a lot of areas in my life where I feel like I’m wandering. Housework, motherhood, writing, etc. And as we discussed, not all wandering is bad. Sometimes, wandering is the direct will of God. But [ read more ]

  • Sep. 23rd, 2012 Currents :: 09.22.12

    Books: All things Tolkien. September 22 is the birthday of both Frodo and Bilbo Baggins. I think we should all eat at least eight times today to celebrate. Who’s with me? Writing: I just discovered that my heroine is an engineer. I thought she was a lawyer. Sigh. Home: We’re doing some redecorating at our [ read more ]

  • Sep. 18th, 2012 Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost

    I’m a wanderer.   I feel like I’m wandering in my own personal desert. Walking in circles. Retracing my steps. But never getting anywhere. I wander in my home. I had all the laundry caught up a few days ago. And I get to do it all over again today. I fixed supper last night. [ read more ]
