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.
Less Talking; More Observing
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 [...]

Rahab sat outside the tent. It was just around dusk and a warm breeze began to blow through the Israelite camp. She tucked her knees close to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. As she exhaled a faint smile crossed her face and she [...]

In Genesis 38, we find the account of Tamar. She was married to Judah’s oldest son, Er. He died. And as was custom in that day, Judah ordered his next son (Onan) to be Tamar’s husband, but he also died. [Tamar, what are you doing to these men?] So Judah told Tamar to go back [...]

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what is says.” James 1:22 I will never forget that April morning seven years ago when I woke up feeling sad and hopeless. I glanced outside at the blazing sun and the already 93 degree temperature at 8 a.m. In that very moment, [...]

One day a Native American boy asked his father, “Father, how did we (siblings) get our names?” “Well,” said the father, “When your sister was born, I came out of the tepee and the first thing I saw was a soaring eagle, so we named her Soaring Eagle. When your brother was born, I came out [...]

The day was dark and cloudy. A storm was brewing in the distance and Sarah could hear the faint sounds of thunder. She wrapped herself a little tighter in the brightly colored wrap as a chill ran down her spine. She shuddered and closed her eyes. The thought of what she had done flooded her [...]

Happy New Year to our faithful readers! With a new year comes a new theme. This year we are excited to delve into the lives of some amazing women in the Bible.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 “Stop, just stop,” I yelled. “Can you girls please quiet down? Mommy is trying to drive through snow and [...]

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” Colossians 3:12 As we walked into the restaurant for our Thanksgiving meal this year, I could feel the tears well up in my eyes and a lump form in my throat. This was no way to spend [...]

It was a cold, crisp Colorado morning. I pulled myself out of bed at 6:30 a.m. dreading the task that was ahead of me, but knowing full well I was one of the few, the proud and the brave assigned to carpool duty at my daughters’ school. My children attend a charter school that does [...]
