Happy Father’s Day to all of you – those who are dads and those of us who have dads. There’s nothing like a dad, but it’s also true that our dads weren’t always dads. They used to be boys and then young men looking to the future, trying out their wings, finding their independence. This picture is my dad on …
Dear Aunt Hattie. Grandmother, aunt, preacher, teacher all tied up in one. Aunt Hattie’s first prayer in Angel Sister: Pray with me right now, Aunt Hattie. For Victor. And the girls.” Kate’s mother paused a moment and then went on. “Especially Kate. She’s picked up some of the load I can’t seem to make myself shoulder.” In the front room, Kate …
“Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.” Max Lucado I told you all that I’ve been remembering my Rosey Corner stories because I just finished the narration for Love Comes Home, the only …
Working on the narration of my third Rosey Corner novel, Love Comes Home, has me thinking about Rosey Corner again.

“You can kid the world, but not your sister.” ~Charlotte Gray Sometimes the best friends a girl can have are her sisters. I’m one of three girls, no brothers. My mother was one of four sisters, no brothers. Mom and her sisters were always the best of friends, and my sisters and I followed in their footsteps. Sisters know where …
“As prayer warriors, we must remember that no matter how hopeless a situation may appear to us, God gives us power in prayer to do something about it. We may be overwhelmed by it, but God isn’t. We may not see a way out, but God can. Because of Him, we can make a difference!”― Stormie Omartian, Prayer Warrior: The Power of …
T People often ask me if I have a favorite book among the ones I’ve written. I sometimes tell them that is sort of like picking a favorite child. It’s difficult to do because I feel blessed each time I’m gifted with a story. But if I have to absolutely choose one to be a book of my heart, …
Winter is on the way. The weathermen have said that four letter word – snow. They warn that we might see some snowflakes tomorrow. On Halloween.
