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. ...

Christmas From a 3-year-old’s Perspective
I watched my 3-year-old grandson rip open the festively wrapped gift from his little friend. The other boy and his momma stood by in smiling anticipation of Blaine’s response.

Mellow Yellow
Fall on my mountain Autumn. The word itself is enough to make you wax poetic. Especially on my mountain. Well, it’s not really my mountain, but I’ve thought of it that way since my in-laws built the tiny cabin nestled deep in the Smoky Mt. woods at about 4200 ft elevation. When my kids were ...
