Okay, so I’m a little late! Due to the Writing Process Tour obligation and our son’s college graduation, Mother’s day really got pushed to the back burner. Usually, I would have all my kids home for dinner, but again, this year’s circumstances made that impossible as well; however, my cup was full of blessings on … More Happy Mother’s Day
One Friday, I was subbing as a secretary at our SMALL local high school. It was a bit of a hectic day which ended in a flurry of activity: One of the buses had broken down, which meant that we needed to keep the students an extra twenty minutes – on a FRIDAY! However, “all’s well that … More “That Still Small Voice” or “Lessons From a Trash Can”

We inherited the cuckoo clock from my husband’s great-uncle back in the early nineties. (Is that really over twenty years ago? Inconceivable!!) It had hung on his wall for years, hanging … More My Miracle Clock
Do you have a favorite Bible story or Bible character? One of my favorites is the Women at the Well in John 4. She is the subject for my next short story: Forgiven.
