Over at the group blog, Inkspirational Messages, I’ve been greatly blessed to work with several gifted authors one of whom is known to us all as *Kav*. She has the daunting responsibility of winding up our bi-weekly topic, and she always does it with flair. Kav is an amazingly gifted author. One week she’ll have us in stitches, the next …
Put One Foot in Front of the Other
“Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the Lord.” Exodus 28:29 Just start. Make a decision and Go. Put one foot forward, then the other. The most difficult part is beginning. I know, you’re too busy. I understand. So …

One of the sweetest benefits of being a writer is getting to know other authors, and one of the dearest people I’ve met on my writing journey is Sharon Hinck.

A Heart Offering
“Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from each man whose heart prompts him to give.” Exodus 25:2 What can I offer to God? What does my heart prompt me to give? Oftentimes it’s more than just the dollars and cents in the offering plate. What gifts can I offer or return …
Heart-Healthy Devotions
When I began writing Hearts at Risk over two years ago I couldn’t imagine the journey it would take me on, including its recent final in the ACFW Genesis contest. To be honest, I wrote it to satisfy the market. My general fiction (with a male protagonist) wasn’t garnering interest, largely because of the male protagonist, and my women’s fiction …

For me to completely enjoy a novel, it has to have the perfect storm of intelligent prose, believable dialogue, intriguing story, authentic characters, and a satisfying–does not equate to happy–ending. So far in 2012 I’ve read 111 books and of those only …
Billy Elliot The Musical – A Show with Heart
My daughter has loved Billy Elliot the Musical since she first saw it on Broadway a few years back, so when I had the opportunity to get tickets to the production at the Ordway in St. Paul, there was no doubting who would accompany me. We weren’t disappointed. If you’re not familiar with Billy Elliot, it’s about a preteen who manages …
