Finding Hope: A Husband’s Perspective

Today was my day to write a post about hope. I told Daniel that I was going to skip it because I had nothing of worth to say. So he said he’d write one for me. I hope his words mean as much to you as they did to me. From Daniel: Your worst dayContinueContinue reading “Finding Hope: A Husband’s Perspective”

Where is Joy?

Life is hard. We all know that. It’s why so many Christian authors, myself included, focus on joy and hope in their books. Because we are all just trying to make it through life.  But that joy? The one that is supposed to buoy you up no matter the circumstances? That joy has been eludingContinueContinue reading “Where is Joy?”

But just in case you don’t, the title of this post will tell you. BecauseContinueContinue reading “Character Development and Editing Woes”

A New Year, A Grateful Outlook

As I sit in my lovely living room, the Jim Brickman station playing softly in the background, curtains drawn, a cup of tea (yes, in a teacup) and the beautifully lit Christmas tree in front of me, it feels more like early morning than almost 11:00 AM. Of course, the magic of the moment keepsContinueContinue reading “A New Year, A Grateful Outlook”
