There are places in Israel where it is green, places the Israelis have irrigated and beautiful olive and date trees grow, but whenever I read the 63rd Psalm, I think of this photo. It especially fits the book review of Laynie Portland, Retired Spy by Vikki Kestall. The heroine, Laynie, is in a dry and parched land spiritually. She is …
WHAT I’M READING FRIDAY ~ THE PRINTED LETTER BOOKSHOP
It has been a difficult time in our nation and throughout the world for the past several months. Our only choice is to turn to Him. Well, not really our only choice. We can stay anxious and be miserable. As for me, I’m going to trust God to bring it all to pass. How about you? Oh! Yes! I don’t …
WHAT I’M READING FRIDAY ~ THE DEATH OF MUNGO BLACKWELL
This photo was taken while I was on a boat in the middle of the Sea of Galilee. The guide pointed out where the feeding of 5000 may have taken place. It’s one of the hills you can see in the distance. It was an awesome experience! Now for this week’s book. I read The Death of Mungo Blackwell about a …
What I’m Reading Friday ~ Vigilant
Again a photo from one of my evening walks. This exercise thing is good! 😉 This Friday I want to introduce you to Sara Davison who writes great romantic suspense books. This one, Vigilant, will have you questioning if two wrongs ever make a right. Here’s the back cover copy: She must choose between the man who represents the law …
What I’m Reading Friday ~ Lizzie’s Heart
I’m so saddened by the events of the past two weeks. The only answer is God. Turning to Him. In the meantime, continue to pray for this country. I’m not certain when this post will go up, but I read Lizzie’s Heart by Susan Lantz Simpson during the second week of our quarantine and it was such a blessing to …
What I’m Reading Friday ~ Out of the Embers
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 …
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 …
What I’m Reading Friday ~ On Deadly Grounds
I love sunset photos. This was taken in Poriya, Israel where there were beautiful sunrises and sunsets. I was so blessed to go there and look forward to returning. Now onto what I’ve been reading. On Deadly Grounds by Kaye D. Schmitz was a delight to read. I met Kaye a few years ago on a cruise and loved her …
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. …
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, …
