Today’s post is brought to you by my hard-working intern, Erica Graphman. Take it away, Erica! Ahh spring break! The time away from school and work to refresh and prepare for the end of the year. Or not. While some of my friends are down in Tennessee and Florida are having fun, I am stuck (for lack of a better …
Erica’s Edition: I didn’t see that coming!
Today’s post is brought to you by my college intern, Erica Graphman! Take it away, Erica! It’s been one of those “Well I didn’t see that one coming” weeks. Not in a horrible way, but an interesting one. It all started with the weather. I didn’t expect the two warm days, and after those two days I didn’t expect the …
God’s Unexpected Blessings
A week ago today I was feeling rather low. I even blogged about it I was feeling so bad. Then, one blessing after another flowed into my life in unexpected ways. I got good news. A check came in the mail. And by sheer Providence, I got to meet Temple Grandin and interview her face to face for a full …
Introducing inspirational author, Paula Mowery

From her website: Winner of the Christy, the RITA, the Carol, the Inspirational Reader’s Choice, and many other awards, Robin is also a recipient of the prestigious RWA …
Y is for Yentl
Today’s A to Z Meme is sponsored by the Letter Y! Y is for Yentl. Yentl is my favorite, favorite movie of all time. Disclaimer: I do not at all agree with Barbara Streisand’s politics. Also, this movie does have some “hiney” nudity. Yes, I’m a prude when it comes to watching such things in a family setting. This is …
Do you ever write naked?
I saw a poster the other day with some of these questions and thought it would be funny in a sort of Tom Threadgill sort of way to answer them, so here goes: Do you ever write naked? Only in the bathtub. I’ve gotten some great ideas for songs there as well as worked out some difficult scenes in …
W is for workaholic
But when I have to tell myself on Christmas Day that “it’s okay to just sit and watch a movie and not multi-task because it’s Christmas.” I know there’s a problem.
