I am very pleased to introduce you to Steampunk/Sci-fi author, Michael Vetter. I became intrigued with Michael’s work after meeting him on a Steampunk forum. I’m fascinated with this genre and have been researching it for a book I’m formulating for the YA market. I’m also leaving next Tuesday to attend the Realm Makers conference in Pennsylvania! I’m looking forward …
Today is my birthday!
Today is my 53rd birthday! In some ways it freaks me out that I’m heading toward old lady status, but in some ways I’m happy because I know a lot of people don’t get to live this long on earth! I’m thankful today that I’m still alive and healthy. In honor of my birthday I’m giving away a free copy …
Book Review: Take this Cup by Bodie & Brock Thoene
I have been reading Bodie Thoene since her release of The Gates of Zion in 1986. She is truly the reason why I fell deeply in love with Christian Historical fiction. She didn’t disappoint me in this book, either. Take this Cup is book 2 of the Jerusalem Chronicles Series. I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it as much …
Using body language to boost your confidence
So how’s your posture? If you’re sitting up straight, thank your Mom. She was right. (Again.) Sitting and standing tall is good for your brain. No matter how you’re sitting, take note of yourself right now. Are you slouching? Slumping? Are your shoulders down and forward? Are you sprawled out or curled up? Do you feel powerful or powerless? What …
When life grabs you by the ankles tango anyway
Whew. It’s been quite an adventure these past few weeks and I’ve missed blogging regularly. Between college classes, writing a book and my son’s wedding, Holy Week activities and church responsibilities I feel like I’ve been in an abyss with an undertow pulling me under. But here I am! I’m baaaaaack! (At least for today!) My son’s wedding was a …
Erica’s Edition: Time Management Woes
Today’s post is brought to you by my busy college intern, Erica Graphman. Do you ever have those days where you have so much on your plate that you don’t know where to start and you end up not doing anything? I’ve been finding myself with this problem more and more this year. Everyone repeatedly tells me I need to …
Strongs Girls can wear bonnets, too!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Just because you’re a Strong Girl doesn’t mean you don’t like to feel feminine and wear pretty things! Sometimes I wish Easter Bonnets were still in vogue. I love hats. And I’m one of those girly girls that loves frilly things as well as bling and glamor. My style runs from …
Vintage Easter
As you may know, I love vintage postcards and graphics. Here are a few for you to enjoy and laugh at and wonder what on earth they were thinking when they made them. You could print the ones you like to use as place cards at your Easter table. Although, I must say, I had a difficult time finding any …
Erica’s Edition: Homesick College Student
With almost three years of college under my belt, I never thought I’d say I’m homesick. Last weekend was Little Sibs Weekend at Manchester, and even though my brother is older than the age they allow sibs to come he still came to stay for Friday and Saturday. My mom dropped him off to me on Friday afternoon and she …
My response to the Noah movie :::eyeroll:::
I love the story of Noah in Genesis. I love it so much that I named a son for Mr. Noah. I also wrote a chapter about Noah in a compilation entitled, What Really Happened in Ancient Times. I know a little about the guy. So, when the movie, Noah, came out, I thought it would be great to go …
