This year, while reading the various accounts of King David in the books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles, it occurred to me that it is very likely when he received the message from Bathsheba that she was pregnant, he became afraid. Terrified, even. If you look at his character up […]
“You don’t seem like a computer person!” I imagine this statement was intended to be a compliment. I accepted it as such, regardless of the intent. Isn’t it humorous that we have so many preconceptions about the way things are and should be? Computer people should be nerdy men who […]
It’s hard to believe I’ve only been familiar with Regina Scott’s books for a little over a year. Since then, I’ve read every new release of hers and will continue to do so. Her books are always fun and have a touch of mystery and adventure. Never Marry a Marquess […]
