LEARNINGASWEAGE One thing I’ve learned as I age is patience, and it is the hardest lesson to learn. Growing ran I was a runner, not a walker. I wanted to get there first and fast. Even today, I walk faster than my husband. I try to slow down, but I can’t. The story has been …
GETTING OLDER
Yes, I am getting older. Last month, I marked eighty-four years on this earth. My desire is to have a few more years, but who knows? We never know when our life will end. For me, it’s been a good life. We’ve had grief, as most of us have. Everyone has changes in their life. …
Mid-South Christian Writers Conf.
Several years ago, a friend invited me to attend Mid-South Christian Writers Conference in the Memphis area. In fact, it’s held in Collierville, TN outside Memphis.

New Release, Unlikely Candidate
Did you ever have an idea that will not leave your mind? I did. A couple of years ago, I thought, could a Christian woman run for President of the US and win? I was like a dog with a bone. I could not let that idea go. We have a friend who ran for …
Studying the Word
This past weekend, we had a Ladies’ Night at church. I’ve been to a lot of these during my life, but this one was so good. My mind is till buzzing. I don’t talk about religion on my blog much, but I am so excited. If you don’t know me very well, you probably don’t …
Eating at the Kid’s Table
Each fourth Sunday, we have a Pot Luck at church. You know, you cook and bring a dish. It’s always fun to see what everyone brings. I’m pretty simple, Poppyseed Chicken, corn, green beans, bread, and a dessert or a salad. February was my birthday, and I got to go to the head of the …
The Joy of Editing?
Each author has one or two things they hate about writing. Mine is correcting edits. I’ll be honest, I hate to correct edits. It began with some bad edits I received, some things I knew were wrong. Let’s talk about bad edits. Never ask your friend down the street, or a relative, to edit for …
