One of my favorite perks of being an author is hearing from new friends and getting to know them on a personal level. I received a note from a reader this week via my website sharing some of her current problems and asking for guidance in finding everyday hope through her faith. I prayed for ...
Everyday Hope

Genuinity in 2015
Deb celebrating sunbeams at Blarney Castle, UK I couldn’t believe it. My hero was not at all what I’d imagined. I’d run across her obscure but charming little novel in the 80s and fallen completely, surprisingly, obsessively smitten with her wise, witty, resonating characters and the subtle but searing Christian message that gripped my soul. ...

Pickleball, anyone? I arrived at the public tennis courts ten minutes to nine. I was early. My daughter and son-in-law dropped me off and left to play golf for the morning. I waved good-bye, chomping at the bit to play my sport after a whole week’s hiatus. After stretching and going through my regular warm-up ...
