This photo was taken as we flew to Barcelona on our trip to Israel. A once in a lifetime photo. I’d been awake all night and happened to look out the window just as the sun peeked over the horizon. And now onto our book for this week. Have you ever read a book that weeks later, you’re still thinking …
MORE BLOTTER REPORTS
I took this photo one evening as we walked near the house. I love it when I stumble on a beautiful sight. It had recently rained and I was looking for a rainbow. While I didn’t find a rainbow, I did find this beautiful sky. Now onto last week’s Mystery Question. When I picked up last Tuesday’s paper there were …
To Those Who Gave Their All
I feel my pulses beat, my forehead burn, When I remember thou hast given for me All that thou hadst, thy life, thy very name, And I can give thee nothing in return. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, A Forgotten Grave
What I’m Reading Friday ~ The Mischief Thief
I love days like the one above. Sky the color of October skies, white puffy clouds, and crops growing in the fields. This was taken when I brainstormed with friends down in South Mississippi. I hope we get to do it again this year! Not long ago I read Johnnie Alexander’s The Mischief Thief, and it’s one of my favorites of …
Local Blotter Reports
It seems every week, as I study my Bible I find a verse that resonates with me, and this week it was Psalm 62:1. (NIV) I hope it resonates with you as well. Friday I got out of the house and my neighborhood and even my town! I went to the mall in Tupelo, fifty miles away! I practiced social …

The Excuses People Give…
This photo was taken back in 2019 from the deck of our ship as we sailed to Georgetown. I love sunsets and I thought the verse from Romans worked so well with it. Last week was exciting as Standoff released. I did several video interviews that you can see here, where I’m reading the prologue for Family Fiction, and here where …
What I’m Reading Friday ~ The Key to Everything
I have to tell you, The Key to Everything, a Novel by Valerie Fraser Luesse is a delight to read. It’s a book you won’t want to put down and the story will stay with you for days. I met Valerie at the Public Library Association Conference back in January and picked up a copy of the book while I was there. …
This Week’s Mystery Question & it’s Release Day for Standoff!
Joshua 1:9 has long been a favorite verse of mine. Can you imagine how the children of Israel felt after Moses died and they were about to cross the Jordan River into unknown territory? Can you imagine how Joshua felt? While we’re not in the same place the Israelites were, we are in uncharted territory, and this is a verse …
WHAT I’M READING FRIDAY ~ LAST CALL
Last Friday night I as I checked my email, I noticed I had a message from Patreon. That’s where I go to make sure I don’t miss anything from James Scott Bell. He’d posted an encouraging video, and at ten o’clock at night, I was in need of a little encouragement. Nothing had gone exactly as I planned it Friday, …
