Natalie Walters’ Lights Out is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first line: “Seif El-Deeb watched the trio of American boys cross the street away from Cairo American College.” Now for the photo and scripture. The photo is from Unsplash–Akhil Lincoln.

Dumbest Criminals Ever

Patricia Bradley Mystery Question 42 Comments

Dumbest Criminals Ever is this week’s Mystery Question. I had a ball researching these stories. My only problem is thinking up one to go with them. As I write this, I haven’t come up with one, but I will. 🙂 But first the scripture verse (the photo is from Pexels-Clifford-Mervil). Luke 2 is one of my favorite chapters in the …

Sherri Wilson Johnson’s Desolate Escape is this week’s Reader Friday selection. I really enjoyed this romantic suspense story set at Bon Secour Beach in Alabama. But first, the photo and scripture.

Back to Crazy Crimes is this week’s Mystery Question, mainly because I was finding the scams too depressing! And I’m telling you, making up a crime to match the ones I found wasn’t easy… But first the photo and verse.

  Happy Thanksgiving 2021! The latest sixteen months have been difficult ones for my family and me, and I’m taking this week to reset and focus on what I’m grateful for.
