Someone close to me experiences terrible nightmares on occasion. The dreams include dreadful accidents of all kinds and when details are relayed about these times, I shudder. I’ve received emails from readers who have written about things that have happened to them and my mind can’t even wrap around all…
When I wrote One More Step, I didn’t have a workspace to call my own. I wrote in coffee shops, on my bed, on the couch, or from the dining room table. It felt like a little here, there and everywhere. Perhaps you can relate. With school starting soon, taking…
Welcome Friends! I’m only one day late on this week’s Bible reading challenge summary instead of three! I hope you had a great week; ours was jammed full of back to school preparation. I am loving the wonderful Scripture praise reminders for each day in this monthly Bible reading plan. Let’s…
As I sit in the ER, with my 16 year old son as he suffers Chronic Pancreatitis, I am reading your book, I have been fighting back the tears. Such a beautiful book. Thank you for writing this, and for inspiring us weary mom’s to just take One More Step!…
