One word answers. Then silence. Despite my best efforts, it was impossible to draw J out. This was quite unusual for me. This birthday dinner for my other friend ended up being one of the most awkward meals I have ever experienced. J only gave one-word answers and the other […]
Pealing, tintinnabulation, jingling, ringing, clanging, chiming, tinkling, bonging, tolling. There are so many ways to express what bells do, each one describing a different type of sound. I love bells. Perhaps I can’t say all bells, but many of them. I think the first one I ever got was in […]
I have with me Cecelia Earl with me today. She is the author of the Kingdom Come series, Christian fantasy stories for young adults, full of angels, battles between good and evil, issues between family and friends and a little romance. There are three books to the series with a […]
I’m pretty sure I was born with a story in my heart. Or at least that’s what my parents seem to think because from as early as I can remember, I was telling, drawing, and writing stories. I like to say, now, that it’s just a byproduct of being a […]
I would love to have a beautiful grand piano in my living room, bathed in the light streaming in through the huge windows. I can see myself sitting there lost in the music I create on this most beautiful of instruments. The piano is my favorite instrument. It seems like […]
My eyes grew big at the beautiful antiques my friend had inherited from her family. My “heirlooms” are mostly handcrafted knickknacks and a handful of old jewelry. I have a ceramic lady about 8 inches tall that my great-great grandmother made in the very early 1900s, a vase my aunt […]
Jean eased down into a perfect execution of the splits. I was amazed. I don’t think I have ever been that flexible and my dear friend is a septuagenarian. She still lives by herself, cares for her granddaughter, helps with Sunday School, and hosts a Bible study for women. She […]
People took one look and crossed over to the other side of the street. When that wasn’t possible, they gave us the widest berth possible. Sheba, my sister’s amazing German Shepherd had the intimidation factor going in a big way. Whenever we would take her for a walk, people got […]
The flashing lights were visible from the second floor of the house. It appeared that it was overflowing with firemen and emergency workers. All searching for my little sister. We were very young at the time. I wasn’t much older than 4 and she, being a year and a half […]
When I was thirteen, I journaled consistently for close to a year. Sharing my hopes, dreams, hurts, and joys. Every so often I look back on those notebooks and smile at the thoughts I recorded and the things that were so important to me back then. I can’t, however, imagine […]
When I announced that God had called me to write, someone asked, “Are you going to write your life story?” My answer—no. No one would believe that much bad stuff could happen to one person. Thank God, I was awakened to what salvation truly meant at the age of seven. […]
