The Angel of Lost Things
Soft Christmas instrumental music plays from my Spotify playlist, a fragrant candle glows on the coffee table and the fire blazes in the hearth. I sit on the couch, covered in a warm fleece, and let my eyes take in the simplicity and beauty of my home decorated for Christmas. My throat swells with gratitude and a grin. “Thank You, Lord, for the Angel … Read More The Angel of Lost Things
Letters to the Lord: Savoring the Season
Merry, Merry Christmas, my dear readers! As I reflect on this beautiful season, I’m so thankful for you! I say it often, but it’s true. We authors would not have a job without you.

Letters to the Lord: The Turkey Trot
I’m interrupting my last post about my Digital Camino experience to repost this Thanksgiving reflection from a few years back. I think we could all use a good laugh this year, and a chance to remember that a perfect Thanksgiving can be seen in many different ways. I’m praying for us all to find deep thankfulness this Thanksgiving for the fact that we are … Read More Letters to the Lord: The Turkey Trot
Letters to the Lord: You Know Better
“Don’t wear yourself out to get rich; because you know better, stop!” Proverbs 23: 4 Ugh, Lord. Just ugh. Your Word got me right in the gut.

And as so often happens, … Read More Letters to the Lord: You Know Better

In 1989, I flew from Columbia, South Carolina to D.C. to spend a few days with one of … Read More Work of Art
My Extravagant Story
Last year, in late October and early November, this little writer was spoiled rotten with a sabbatical at the beach. Earlier that year, in the midst of burnout, I asked the Lord for a month at the beach alone to write, an extravagant request which I had no idea He would answer, and in such an extravagant way! But a dear friend had counseled, … Read More My Extravagant Story
The World as We Know It
In the middle of the night, I awoke and couldn’t get back to sleep. My mind was replaying a few scenes for my WIP (work in progress) and I decided to get up and type them into the trusty laptop (this does NOT happen often–I like to sleep). My g-mail account flashed on the screen and the first thing I saw was a four-word … Read More The World as We Know It
