Besides being a full time wife and mother, I enjoy writing and I’m currently tinkering with writing a Christian suspense novel. My hobbies include, but are not limited to, rubber stamping and card making, reading, knitting (on occasion), tennis, long walks, playing with my kids. I love a cold fountain drink and bag of plain M&M’s too. For more information about me, see the "About Author" pages.
Percentage is No Way to Measure
Something caught me off guard this week as I was packing lunchboxes for my children one morning. I was half listening to the national news when I heard our President state in a press conference, that “he had quit smoking 95%.” What does that even mean? What are the parameters for determining such a [...]

It was the Sabbath, a very sacred day for us Jews. You see, our law explains quite clearly that we are not to do any form of work on the Sabbath. So, you can imagine my shock this one particular Sabbath. I was walking near the synagogue when I heard a commotion. [...]

Almost every week my eight-year-old daughter comes to me on two different occasions—once on Tuesday and once on Thursday. Sometimes she doesn’t even have to speak. I just know by her facial expression what she’s thinking. On Tuesdays she asks me if she has to go to dance class that day. Each [...]

I realize studying history is not for everyone. Twenty some years ago I could have cared less about it. I was only interested in receiving a good grade in my history classes. I didn’t try to retain any information; I just did what I needed to get by. Well, that has [...]

There is a famous Christmas song titled, “Mary Did you Know?” It was written in 1984, by Mark Lowry, whose Nashville church asked him to write a song for Advent. It is quite popular on Christian and secular radio this time of year. The song asks a series of questions, “Mary did you know [...]

It was my turn for carpool duty this particular afternoon. I was driving, not only my kids, but the kids of some close family friends home from school. As I usually do on these drives, I was listening quietly to the chatter of two first grade girls and two third grade girls. You won’t [...]

For the most part I would say I have an optimistic outlook on life. I try to see the good in bad situations. I try to encourage others when they are down. I try to be the voice of reason in situations where there is controversy. But lately, I can’t seem to turn on the [...]

“…and she asked us to be her guests. “If you agree that I am a true believer in the Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my home.” And she urged us until we agreed.” Acts 16:15 NLT Okay, does that seem a bit pushy? Here is the Apostle Paul ministering to the people in Philippi. [...]

“As Jesus and His disciples were on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to them.” Mark 10:38 How nice is Martha? It appears that without hesitation Martha has opened her home to 13 weary travelers and is preparing to feed them a delicious meal. What [...]

I noticed something this week as I studied the scripture references to Mary Magdalene. In many of the passages where she is mentioned, she is observing. There is a short conversation recorded between Mary and Jesus (after He had risen), but it is mostly her presence at one place or another that caught my attention. “Among [...]

Lately I have been captivated by Jewish biblical history—especially as I follow the ministry to the Gentiles in the New Testament. It has brought the story of the Samaritan woman to life for me. Though morally I can’t relate to the lifestyle she led, I can relate to her Gentile heritage. Let’s take a stroll [...]

We’ve been told by some of our neighbors that our home has nice curb appeal. We have worked hard to create a home that is warm and inviting from the inside out. If you were to walk up the steps to our door you would first notice a lovely flower garden with a café table [...]

I was inside tidying up the house when I heard the sweet sounds of giggling coming from our backyard. I smiled and thought how I love to hear my daughters enjoying each others company. I decided to take a closer look to see what was so funny. As I quietly walked downstairs and toward [...]

As we pick up the story in Esther 3, King Xerxes has appointed a man named Haman to the highest position in the royal court. But Haman lets his ego get the best of him and orders the people of Susa to kneel and pay him honor when they see him. There is one person, [...]

But Ruth replied, “I will go if you really want me to, but it would make it so much easier if you just stayed here. However, where ever you do go, I promise to text, email and call you often. And wherever you decide to live, I will come and visit, as long as I [...]
