    Reading Lately and Other Ramblings

    Disclosure: This post includes affiliate links. Rebecca has taken an interest in rabbits lately. She has seen pictures of pet rabbits on Instagram and has decided that would be the very thing to add to her backyard farm. Apparently, four fat hens are not enough. The first step, of course, is to research rabbits. That requires a trip to the…

    Reading Lately

    Here’s a visual of what I’ve been reading the past couple of months. Out of this batch my favorite fiction title is A Time to Stand by Robert Whitlow. It is a legal thriller dealing with racial issues. I really liked several of the characters and appreciated the strong element of Christian faith throughout. I also highly recommend The Outdoor Adventure…

    Review: Reading People

    Did you ever take one (or more) of those silly online personality quizzes? Which Winnie the Pooh character are you? Studying personality types fascinates me so I was happy to be selected for the launch team for Reading People by Anne Bogel. I received a free copy of the book in exchange for my honest review. As Anne explains it…

    Review: Rule of Law

    Typically I enjoy legal thrillers. I have read and enjoyed several titles by Randy Singer, so I was happy for the opportunity to review his new book, Rule of Law. I received a complimentary copy from LitFuse in exchange for my honest review. Here’s the publisher’s description– About the Book: What did the president know? And when did she know it?…

    Reading Lately

    My summer has been so full with a wide variety of activities that it seems like I’m not getting as much reading done as I was during the winter and spring. I track my reading with the Goodreads app on my phone. I was surprised to see how much I actually have read the past couple of months when I…

    Review: My Daughter’s Legacy

      About a year ago I read the second book in the Cousins of the Dove series by Mindy Starns Clark and Leslie Gould, My Sister’s Prayer. I enjoyed how that story explored sister relationships but it did kind of leave me hanging since it is the middle book of a trilogy. I was happy to have the opportunity to…

    Guest Post: From Diet to Edit

    When my friend Kelly told me that her new book, From Diet to Edit, would be releasing today, I asked if she would be willing to write a guest post for my blog. Kelly has long been pursuing a healthy lifestyle and has encouraged many to do the same. I’m delighted to have her share today. From Diet to Edit…

    Of Writers and Coffee

    Six years ago I had the privilege of attending the Northwest Christian Writers’ conference with my friend Susan Marlow. That year I took the Greyhound bus over to Seattle, which was an adventure itself. I learned so much at the conference and enjoyed it thoroughly, but scheduling conflicts and other circumstances prohibited me from attending again. Until this year. Several months ago…

    Review: Courageous Love

    My all-time favorite book series has got to be the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I was first introduced to them when my mother checked them out at the library to read to us at bedtime before I started school. The problem was, one chapter a night just wasn’t enough. I couldn’t wait to learn to read. Just…

    Pinterest-Inspired Bible Journaling

    I’m still in the process of figuring out my preferred style of artistic Bible journaling. Right now I’m in practice mode and I’ve been saving a bunch of Bible journaling images I like on Pinterest. I’ve been finding encouragement in the Psalms lately. (Actually, always. Don’t you love the Psalms?) So I’ve been practicing my lettering and graphic design skills by…
