I expected a dry set-of-facts type of book. But “The Ashtabula Disaster” by Rev. Stephen D. Peet in 1877 was not that at all! Because of visiting the grave site and the historic marker I knew the facts. In Ashtabula, Ohio ninety-two people of 159 perished in a train crash. In a terrible blizzard asContinue reading “What a disaster!”

Training
Today I was supposed to be in Orlando, Florida for an international church summit. Instead God had me on the third day of training for a Stress Protest weekend in Colorado. In addition He has me attending the Vision World Discipleship Summit which I was supposed to be at in-person virtually. A hike and aContinue reading “Training”
The Real Story
“Put the fiction aside for now and write your story.” The Holy Spirit said. On July 15, 2020 in the heat of a pandemic, “Lives of Gem! God’s Treasured Possession” was released. Thanks to God the real story has been on the market for two years. Celebrate with us by acquiring an autographed discounted copyContinue reading “The Real Story”
Life to the Full!
The weather says summer is here even though the calendar hasn’t caught up to the temperature yet. This year summer is going to be crazy! I need to be working on my fourth book, but being a driving instructor, hiking trails as a trail ambassador, attending grandson’s swimming lessons, travel, walking distances with friends, familyContinue reading “Life to the Full!”
After the Pause
Writing and publishing a book takes time. Thanks to God three published books exist. “Lives of a Gem! God’s Treasured Possession” took two years to write and publish. “The Twelve: Fishers of Men” and “Bible Trek: Reading the Bible in Thirteen Weeks” took nine months to write and publish. All three books would be consideredContinue reading “After the Pause”
Reading Challenge
It is important to read to be an excellent writer. I love to read. This year as a Goodreads author I took on the 2021 reading challenge. I have never done this before. I merely read to read not to read a specific amount in a year. During the early part of this challenge IContinue reading “Reading Challenge”
2021 Reflections
We are only a few hours away from ringing in 2022. How in the world did this happen so fast? Another twelve months have shot by and we remain in the middle of a pandemic. Despite the restrictions that remain, for me 2021 was a very good year. God enabled the following to occur asContinue reading “2021 Reflections”
That Time of Year
How is it that Thanksgiving is next week? This year Thanksgiving and Christmas are both on the 25th of the month. This generally happens every seven years except when a leap year falls within the seven years and two years are added. I have never paid attention to when both Thanksgiving and Christmas were onContinue reading “That Time of Year”
Written Retreat
God’s plan for me to attend the “Written Retreat” did not go as I thought it would. I wrote about what “The Real Intent” was and how He raised the money for me to go in “But Of Course He Did It!” Now I can tell you how it turned out. My replacement thoroughly enjoyedContinue reading “Written Retreat”
Burnt Offering
The Bible tells of three types of sacrificial offerings: Consecratory Offerings – these offerings of animals, grain, and/or drink were for a high priest anointment, a king coronation, a tabernacle or temple dedication (Leviticus 1-2; 6:14-23, 23:13, Exodus 29:40-41). Expiatory Offerings – these were offerings for offenses made against others and sin. They were guiltContinue reading “Burnt Offering”
