Like many families, we celebrate holiday traditions. For instance, one of those traditions in our house is blessing others. Through cookie-making. Every Christmas season we set aside a day or two for our annual cookie fest. It would be so much simpler to just buy the slice-and-bakes and a few containers of frosting, but when I suggest this I’m met …
Hi, friends! I pray each of you had a Happy, Blessed Thanksgiving! Our Thanksgiving holiday was filled with scrumptious food, tons of family, and wonderful fellowship. We kicked off Thanksgiving Day at our home with my parents, my sister and brother-in-law, and their sweet girls. Since I was hosting, I opted for some shortcuts. I used disposable pans, scads of …
During the next few days, I’m preparing for the Thanksgiving holiday. (And yes. Wouldn’t you know? I’m a list-maker. I have my Things to Do list and my Grocery Store list. It’s so much easier that way!) As I mentioned last week, I’ll be taking a short blogging break, but I’ll return again next Monday (Dec. 2nd). I plan to …
Last night as I was dishing up smothered steak and potatoes, I thought… you know, in less than a week from now, we’ll be feasting on turkey and dressing and all the trimmings! Mmmm! I make a conscious effort to remain in a state of Thanksgiving all year ’round, but when the holiday actually approaches, I begin to feel all …
Truth. Triumph. Two independent words, but can we really have one without the other? One of my favorite inspirational movies is Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story, based on the autobiography of Dr. Ben Carson, one of today’s top neurosurgeons. The movie’s been out for several years, but it still runs periodically on television and it never fails to inspire …
I love romance! (I better since I write it.) I particularly adore those swoon-worthy, heart-stopping, jaw-dropping, knee-knocking kinds of moments that leave me breathless in a good way. In our reality T.V. world where romance seems to be more about shock value than the sanctity of what God intended, it’s refreshing when books and movies get it right. By “get …
I’m a giver. It’s not something I intentionally set out to do. I think it’s just part of my DNA. Giving is something that challenges me to be a better person. It blesses others, and in turn, blesses me. I don’t know that I always feel like giving. Although inherent for some, I believe it’s a trait we must hone. …
Today I’ve invited the lovely Sarah Loudin Thomas to join us here while I’m guest-posting at Married with Fiction. (I hope you’ll stop by as I share my wedding story!) I first “met” Sarah online when I started to blog in 2011. She’s a charming, talented writer, and we’re agency-mates. I was finally able to visit with Sarah in person …
I’m taking a mini-blog break on this Veterans Day, but I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to our military veterans. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. A mere thank you hardly seems enough. Because of you, we enjoy freedoms other countries can only dream about. I recently read this veteran’s inspiring story of courage. He’s eighty-eight and …
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his wife’s kitchen. Or is it the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach? (I’ve heard it both ways.) I’ve not tested this theory intentionally, but I do believe there’s some truth to those statements. I mean, what normal, red-blooded man doesn’t like a warm slice of bread baked …
