Blue Ridge from Home – Monday
I’ve been thrilled with the positive response to the Blue Ridge from Home Conference . I wish this blogpost could be full of all the things I’ve done in the past week to prepare…sadly, I’ve got nothing. The pedicure? Didn’t happen. The new outfit? Fat chance. But, I’m not giving up. Nasty stomach viruses and mountains of laundry notwithstanding, I’m determined to… [ read more ]

Blue Ridge from Home
The Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference begins May 9th. So many of my writer friends are going that my emails, Facebook and Twitter feeds buzz with all the preparations. I AM SO JEALOUS!!! (And yes, that was me yelling). OK. I’m better now. I am. And I have a plan. Just because I can’t go, doesn’t mean I can’t use… [ read more ]

My Hypocrisy Knows No Bounds
Hyp-o-crite: 1. A person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion. 2. A person who acts in opposition to his or her stated beliefs or feelings. I am a hypocrite. I’ll give you a few examples. I’ve been known to shop at the health food store . . . and then run… [ read more ]

Who has the time?
You may have noticed that I haven’t been blogging much lately. That’s because it’s tricky to type while holding a six week old. Not that it can’t be done. I’m doing it right now! God has been up to all sorts of interesting things in the past six months. The results of which are fabulous.… [ read more ]

Sawdust
I love the smell of sawdust. One whiff and I feel like a young girl standing in the barn, holding the end of a board while my Daddy cuts it with a Skilsaw. I’m transported to a safe place to talk, to spill my troubles, to ask questions, to get answers. With each deep breath,… [ read more ]

Blown Away
This week, I’m bringing you a few thoughts on one of my favorite passages. This devotion is currently on my parent’s church website and I’m shamelessly double posting in order to save a few brain cells as I prepare for the very soon arrival of our third child. One of the first things you learn when you begin… [ read more ]

Every Moment Matters
As I write these words, I am missing two different appointments. I’m supposed to be at my writers group meeting. I’m also supposed to be at a baby shower. And yes, I do see the impossibility of being in two places at once, but that’s not the point of this post. Instead of trying to… [ read more ]

Profoundly Annoying
Is it just me? It seems when I’m in the dumps, feeling defeated or am thinking about throwing in the towel, everyone around me is on a spiritual upswing. Does this happen to you? I want to whine. They encourage. I want to wallow. They point out all the great things going on in my… [ read more ]
