Today is my first day over there—and it's also my book birthday! *throws confetti* To celebrate, I'm giving away… Continue reading Celebrate Good Times…With a Giveaway

From Deserts to Green Pastures

I recently celebrated my 41st birthday, and as I reflect over a year that began with me stumbling into a writer’s desert, it looks like I might finish it out emerging onto fertile grasses. All glory to God, who never left my side through the dry and barren wasteland. Here are some of the things… Continue reading From Deserts to Green Pastures

Tinsel’s Cover Reveal…

At long last, it's finally here! Tinsel's book cover! I. Am. So. Excited! This has got to be my favorite part about the publication process so far.

I’m a simple, low-maintenance girl whose Twitter blurb says it best: Jesus comes first, family second, passions third.

What is Christmas, anyway?

Merry Christmas. Two simple words that generate not-so-simple responses. To one heart, it brings joy; to another, it brings sorrow. One man smiles at the greeting, and another man gnashes his teeth. One house fills with excitement and gratitude while the house next door drowns in stress and envy. Christmas once ushered in a time for… Continue reading What is Christmas, anyway?

Just a little pre-holiday fun…

My brother-in-law can be very vocal about his displeasure in seeing Christmas paraphernalia hit the stores weeks before Thanksgiving (a sentiment shared by many, I know).
