I happened across an article the other day about Google’s business strategy. Uh, yeah. Not exactly light reading, and not the kind of article I normally spend time surfing around the Internet for. What attracted me to the article was the castle. I love castles, and this one caught my eye. When I clicked over, I realized that the article …
Am I Too Familiar with God?
I’m reading Charles Stanley’s book, Listening to God, on my Kindle. In the section I read this morning he outlines the aspects of active listening to God – things like listening carefully, submissively, attentively, and today’s characteristic, listening reverently. At the end of this brief section he poses the question, “Do you enter God’s presence with a sense of humility, …
Is Creation True?
I got into a conversation the other day that left me feeling unsatisfied. The discussion was on a different topic entirely, but eventually worked its way around to the Bible. Specifically, how much of the Bible can be taken literally and how much is written merely as symbolic prose or even poetry. The question of creation arose, as it often …
Benji the Weary Traveler
I purposefully got a six-pound dog so he could travel with me in airplanes. Because of my schedule, I spend a lot of time flying, and I wanted a dog who could go with me in the cabin, rather than being checked as luggage. Poor Benji. He isn’t a great traveler. I’ve had him for a month now, and we’ve …

Success in Plotting!
I’m in Branson, Missouri this weekend with my writing partner, Lori Copeland, to develop the plot of our sixth co-authored novel, Rainy Day Dreams, book 2 in the Seattle Brides series. I wish you could see how much fun we have when we’re plotting a book. At times we laugh so hard we can’t talk, and have to take a …
And the Winner Is…
The contest is over, and we have a winner. The choice was tough, though. We read so many wonderful descriptions of men who epitomize the idea of a cowboy – fathers, friends, uncles, grandfathers, and even sons. The publicist who coordinated the contest suggested that everyone get a book! Unfortunately that wasn’t possible, so we had to pick one winner. …

Benji, the Walker!
April 3 – Benji’s first airplane flight! I flew from Utah to Kentucky today, and Benji went with me. I’ve been introducing him to the pet carrier for a week now, and Benji was still cautious at best. The taxi came to pick us up at 5:30 a.m. (yeah!) and I forced Benji into his carrier. I felt so guilty! …
