“You’re going to lose your colon. You might as well get used to the idea.” There were no preliminaries. No handshake, no niceties. Not even a polite introduction. The pediatric gastroenterologist barely glanced at our fourteen-year-old son before flipping through his medical file. “Medications aren’t working. Treatments aren’t helping. You’re one sick kid and you’re out of options.” With military-like …
A familiar voice I’ll always remember was Paul Harvey’s. The Rest of the Story Harvey won over millions with his easy-going demeanor and his “regular guy” persona. I was a young girl when I first heard the radio broadcaster and I liked him immediately. Something about the way Paul Harvey spoke and how he carried himself on air resonated with me. He seemed real. Someone I’d want to know better. He …
One of the greatest highs of my writing journey is making new friends. Connecting with like-minded believers is a tremendous blessing. You may remember when I interviewed Chad R. Allen in November. Chad is the Editorial Director of Baker Books, and he is a ministry-minded, down-to-earth fellow with a heart for helping others. In fact, I met Dr. Hansen by …
Wow! It’s great to be back in the blogging saddle again. I’ve missed you! I hope you had a joyous Christmas season and that you rang in 2013 with a smile, a dream, and a goal (or two)! I’m not a New Year’s resolution kinda gal. I’m more of a goal-setter. I make lists. I write goals. I reassess. In short, I examine the past, …
Over the past 20 years or so, Christian fiction has evolved. No longer do we dance around delicate issues or insinuate difficulties; Today, we broach sensitive topics with truth, finesse, and grace. Christian authors recognize that in a world of heartache and suffering, our readers long to identify with others who have walked the same road or with those who share …
I’m a very visual person, but then again, I suppose a lot of creatives are. I revel in the sights, sounds, and people around me. I want to experience life full-steam-ahead. I want to know what makes folks tick. I’m passionate about Christ and I want to share Him through the stories I create. I believe as Christian writers we’re called to bring …
I met author Mary Vee at the 2011 American Christian Fiction Writers conference in St. Louis. We hit it off immediately. (In fact, I’m guest-posting for Mary today and I encourage you to pop over to see exactly how we met. It’ll make you smile.) I asked Mary to share her heart today and talk about her writing journey. I know …
I knew a girl in college who had a flair for the dramatic. She had long, flowing tresses and dark, expressive eyes. She often wore flowery peasant blouses teamed with ruffled skirts, multiple gold bangles, and twin hoops in each ear. She also ate a lot of garlic (touting its myriad health benefits), and she was an accomplished artist. Rarely, was …
My previous website design and marketing team loved what they did. It was clearly evident in the treatment of their clients right down to the smallest detail, even in their e-mail correspondence. “Cheering you on” became synonymous with PulsePoint Design’s signature. I loved this because I knew they meant it. They were wonderful cheerleaders. When the company closed in February, I …
When I was in grade school, I dreaded the possibility of one day having a specific teacher. Even as a youngster, I recognized his leadership style as iron fisted and unyielding. Mr. Downer* (not his real name, of course) was tall, dark, and anything BUT handsome. His brooding countenance just didn’t lend itself to attractiveness. He never had a kind word …
