Romans 12:2 is the verse that came to mind with this butterfly photo. Who would think an ugly caterpillar could transform into a beautiful butterfly? We are like the caterpillar. If we focus on God’s word, we can transform into something beautiful. I thought the photo and verse were perfect for the What I’m Reading Friday ~ Autumn Vindication post. …
September Mystery Question ~ Riddles
Do you like Riddles? I love them and like to try and solve them so I decided this week my post would be Mystery Question ~ Riddles. But first, the photo and verse. This is a photo I took probably twenty-five years ago at Arkabutler Lake in Coldwater, Mississippi. That lake has the best catfish and crappie anywhere! And I …
What I’m Reading Friday ~ Discovering God’s Calling
What I’m reading Friday ~ Discovering God’s Calling by Philip Wilder is one of the best small books I’ve read in a while.

Mystery Questions ~ Hilarious Getaways

What I’m Reading Friday ~ Dangerous Deceptions
A comment on the photo before I start the What I’m Reading Friday ~ Dangerous Deceptions blog. I took this photo one morning just as the sun rose above the house across the street. My house faces East, something I truly love. Once I lived in a house that faced west and could only see the sunset. That’s when I …

I can remember when we were celebrating the beginning of 2020 and everyone was looking forward to seeing what the new year would bring.

What I’m Reading Friday ~ Acceptable Risk
What I’m Reading Friday ~ Acceptable Risk by Lynette Eason is a fantastic book! Here’s the back cover copy, then my take on the book: Sarah Denning is a military journalist with the Army in the Middle East when her convoy is attacked and she’s taken hostage. When former Army Ranger Gavin Black is asked by his old unit commander–Sarah’s …
AUGUST MYSTERY QUESTIONS WEEK 2
The August Mystery Questions Week 2 will follow, but first a word about the photo. I was lucky enough to get up before sunrise one morning and captured the sun coming over the house across the street from me. The camera did a great job of capturing just how beautiful it was. This past week I made my word count …
What I’m Reading Friday ~ Rescued Hearts

When the heroine, Mary Wade Kimball, tries to rescue a trapped kitten she is taken hostage for her efforts. (You know what they say about no good deed going unpunished.) And when the hero shows up, she thinks he’s …
