Unknown Threat is a fantastic read! An action-packed opening and sharply drawn characters drew me right in and held me captive. Blackburn has an exceptional gift for weaving twisting plots with characters that walk right off the page. I absolutely adore Faith, the bright and stalwart FBI special agent. I love the attention to detail regarding Secret Service operations. The swoon-worthy romance between Faith and Luke is the perfect slow burn.

Kept me on the edge of my seat...Mary GoodwinAmazon Reviewer

Jan. 11th, 2010 At Loose Ends . . .

I don’t know what to do with myself. I feel lost. Unsettled. Deeply unsatisfied.

I have nothing to do.

Don’t misunderstand. I have plenty to do. The ever-present laundry. The dust bunnies throwing a fiesta on every flat surface. The bathrooms – ugh, the bathrooms.

Plenty to do. But no deadline. If the dust bunnies party another few days, no one will mind. We won’t be running around naked if I don’t do laundry. And the bathrooms will continue to serve their purpose regardless.

I’ve been on a deadline for 4 ½ months. Different deadlines, but always something looming. Always a writing assignment due or a Bible study lesson to finish or a committee meeting to prepare for. And let’s just not even talk about the entire month of December. I’m trying to block the horror!

But today, January 11, 2010, I am without a deadline. I submitted my final writing assignment last week. My scrapbooks, while not up-to-date, are much further along thanks to the scrapbooking retreat I returned from last night. My new Bible study doesn’t begin until February. I don’t have to complete anything for my committee meeting on Friday.

Nothing to do. But so many things to think about.

This whole writing thing – where am I going with it? What do I do next? Do I start editing my first novel or should I focus on writing my second novel? Should I take another class or read a few highly recommended books? Should I scrap the whole thing? (Given that I needed to write all this out, the answer to the last question is probably no!)

And my family – what do I want 2010 to look like for them? After months of perpetual frenzy, how do I slow things down? What do I put on the calendar and what should I say no to? How does the writing fit in?

“Be Still and Know that I AM GOD!” is the answer my Abba gives me.

But how on earth am I supposed to do it? How do you just “be still”? I haven’t been still in so long, I’m not sure where to begin.

I do know this . . . the answers to my questions lie in the stillness. The satisfaction I crave lies – not in a café mocha – but in the fountain of living water. So when James goes down for his nap, I’m not going to do be doing anything much.

I am going to be still.
