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.
And the Gift Goes On…..
“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 [...]

I think it’s safe to say as women we often feel guilty that we are not doing enough. And dare I say we use busyness as a measuring stick to compare ourselves to others? I will admit that I do. However, I’m sure someone is watching me and making the same comparisons. My neighbors probably [...]

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” By far this is the biggest lie ever. I would love to meet the person who coined that phrase, because surely he or she has enough self confidence to endure just about anything. I on the other hand can be so hurt [...]

…so are the Days of our Lives. I know I’m not the only one who recognizes the theme song to the opening of this popular daytime drama. I remember many days coming home from high school to catch up on Roman and Marlena, Steve and Kayla, and who can forget Frankie and Jennifer? It baffles [...]

Several years ago I sat in church and listened as a member of the church board read a letter to the congregation. The congregation sat in silence as the disappointing news was delivered. A staff pastor’s wives had confessed to an extra-marital affair with a prominent member of the church. You could hear a pin drop [...]

What a day it had been. A wasted day some might say. A day spent waiting for the phone to ring or even an email. Hours spent fretting about the possible scenarios. Anxious pacing around the living room. Snappy remarks made to one another out of frustration and uncertainty. It all came down to this [...]

The day was warm and nice as Prina exited the local mosque and walked across the street to the park. She took a deep breath of the fresh summer air and thought how thankful she was to be living in America. As she entered the park and walked down the tree-lined path, she reached into her [...]

It was spring, and the barley harvest was beginning in Bethlehem, as two unlikely women began a journey together across the Jordan River from Moab: Naomi, an Ephrathite and Ruth, a Moabite. This was a dark time in Israel’s history. People were more interested in pleasing themselves than pleasing God (Judges 21:25). But one woman, a [...]

A few summers ago my in-laws came for a visit from Jamaica. As you can imagine our visits are few and far between given the distance we live from each other. So when we are together, conversations are precious and cherished. This particular Colorado summer day we were sitting out on our deck sipping lemonade [...]

Sunday, May 4, 2008
Uggh, the “P” word. Yes, we all knew the time would come. The fourth word on the Fruits of the Spirit List (Galatians 5:22). It’s here, our month long look at patience. Funny how it falls in the same month as Mother’s Day? There is nothing more challenging to me than the virtue of patience. It [...]

“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things.” Luke 10:41 Those words literally jumped off the page at me. How could I have missed it all this time? Through the years I’ve heard many teachings from the story of Mary and Martha, but this time the statement Jesus made to Martha [...]

I just returned from a spring break getaway to Arizona to see my family. One thing I was looking forward to on this vacation was going shopping. What’s a vacation without a little shopping? Thankfully, my husband and I were able to steal some time away to go to the mall while Papa and Grandma [...]

I don’t think I could ever choose the right words to describe joy, but I can certainly describe a person, that in my mind, exemplifies the word. His name is Larry and I met him several years ago when I worked on staff at a church in Southern California. Larry worked in the maintenance department. Larry [...]

She stood in front of the mirror in the now quiet bridal room. Her long, dark hair was pinned up loosely on her head as the beautiful white veil trailed down her back. She could hear the faint sounds of Canon in D echoing through the halls of the old chapel. With a deep breath, she [...]
