For My Writer Friends: I don’t know about you, but I get a little excited when a new writing guide comes along. Today I get to spill the news that The Conflict Thesaurus: A Writer’s Guide to Obstacles, Adversaries, and Inner Struggles (Vol. 1) has hit the shelves. This guide is about that killer ingredient our stories need: Conflict. It …
Crazy 911 Calls Again–Mystery Question
Crazy 911 Calls is this week’s Mystery Question…and I have a hard time believing that three of these are true! But first this week’s photo and scripture verse. I love rainbows and God’s promise he made through the rainbow. And I love Psalm 46. I thought verses 1 and 2 fit the photo, but verse 10 is one of my …
More Bogus Breakups–Mystery Question
More Bogus Breakups is this week’s Mystery Question because I had a lot of fun with the last one. 🙂 Only this time it’s the girls who are doing the dumping. But first the photo and scripture. By now, I’m sure you know I love sunrises and sunsets. This sunset was taken at Arkabutla Lake near Coldwater, Mississippi. The Coldwater …
One More Week
I know I planned to return to the blog this week, but I’m just not able to focus on anything long enough to write a Mystery Question blog. Thank you so much for praying for me and sending those wonderful messages. Hopefully, I will return next week.
Taking a Week’s Break
Hi everyone. Sorry to not have the Mystery Question this week, but as many of you know, I’ve been dealing with my daughter’s health problems the last four weeks, and last week flew to West Palm Beach, Florida to put her in hospice. She passed into Jesus’ waiting arms Saturday afternoon with her family around her. We will be scattering …
Cara Putman’s Lethal Intent–What I’m Reading
Cara Putman’s Lethal Intent is what I’m reading and it kept me up until midnight last night! I love legal thrillers and that’s exactly what Lethal Intent is. But first, the photo and scripture. I was looking through my photos and came across this one. It was taken one morning last winter as I walked across the street to pick …
Bogus Breakups and Excuses–Mystery Question
Bogus Breakups and Excuses is this week’s Mystery Question. I thought it was time for a break from crime so when I came across these funny breakup excuses…well… But first the photo and scripture. When I went to Israel, we stopped at Caesarea where Paul boarded a ship and sailed to Rome. The aqueduct would have been one …
Dangerous Amish Showdown–First Line Friday
Dangerous Amish Showdown by Mary Alford is unlike any Amish book I’ve ever read. It’s a Love Inspired Suspense, and was the suspense ever high! But first, the photo and scripture. The first time I read that verse, it answered a question for me–why did I wake up so early every morning? All my life I’ve been one of …
Crazier Crimes Gone Awry–Mystery Question
Crazier Crimes Gone Awry is this week’s Mystery Question. There is such an abundance of crazy criminals out there I can’t help taking advantage of their…for lack of a better word, stupidity. But first this week’s scripture. I’ve been holding fast to this verse this week. Just today I learned of the death of another friend to Covid, and my …
September 11–Twenty Years Later
September 11–Twenty Years Later. I remember where I was. I had just walked into my church for a Bible study and stopped by the office. The youth leader wore a stunned look on his face, and when I asked what was wrong, he looked at me. “You haven’t heard?” I shook my head. I’d been busy that morning and hadn’t …
