It’s my absolute pleasure to announce the FIVE winners of signed copies of my beautiful re-release of the original Too Blessed to be Stressed (first published in 2011), the book that was the “Mama” of the other 30 “Baby Blessings” in the bestselling Too Blessed series! I know, I know – I promised 3 winners ...
Celebrating Blessings!
I’m totally jazzed about my brand new re-release of the original Too Blessed to be Stressed chapter book; the bestselling “Mama Book” – released in 2011 – that begat (a fine biblical word there for gave birth to) all the other “Baby Blessings” that now make up the Too Blessed to be Stressed series, around 30 titles ...
Vitamin G
Guilt. AACCK! Do you grapple with it as much as I do? Oh, not necessarily gut-stabbing guilt over some deep, dark secret sin, or even lingering guilt pangs over past mistakes. Although I’ve had some experience with both. And I suspect you have too. The guilt that irritates me like a scratchy, stiff tag in ...
Loving Our Littles
I’m writing this post at 5:15 a.m. YAWN. Why, you may wonder, am I up and at ’em so early? Spouse and I are at a remote cabin in the Smokies this week, spending time with our grands. Not just the ones who live next door in central Florida … all of them. Five little people ...

Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah
So what happens when you put three fun-loving BFFs (Blessed Friends Forever) together for a week in a mountain cabin? They zip! They zing! They fly through the trees like Tarzan! (sort of) As I promised, here are the last of the pics from my girls-time-out earlier this month. Who’s in for next time? (Okay, ...
Mountain Mama
Some more Smoky Mountain pretties from my recent getaway. Hope they make you smile, dear BFF (Blessed Friend Forever)! Papa God sure does late summer right!
Everybody Needs a Little Time Away …
Did you miss me, dearest BBFF (Blessed Blog Friend Forever)? If you’re quizzically responding right now, “Um … gee Deb, did you go somewhere?” the answer is no, you didn’t. But I did go somewhere – our remote Smoky Mt cabin – for three glorious weeks, with three different sets of Besties (one pair per ...
Just Leave It
Something interesting happened last week on my early morning prayer walk around my neighborhood (I like to hit the lane, do my mile, and arrive back home before 8 am to try to beat the blazing Florida heat; even so, I’m usually so sweaty I slide right off my chair when I sit to eat ...
And They’ll Know We’re Offensive by Our Love
My neighbor posted a sign in her yard last week. A really horrible, in-your-face proclamation of uber-offensive, rile-stirring propaganda. Or so she was informed when she was asked to remove it. No. That can’t be right. The sign, which was sponsored by her church, simply proclaimed, “You are loved.” Wait. What??? It’s okay to post ...
