If Not Now, When?
If Not Now, When?
Is COVID an excuse? I have used it to explain why I’ve had writers block, why I haven’t gotten started on that (fill in the blank) project, why I’ve slept later in the morning, watched more TV, etc. etc. But it’s really no excuse.Yes, it’s real, yes it has caused loss, pain and suffering to many. But for me, and for many others I’ve talked to recently, it’s been good…and bad. Good in that we’ve…

Another Year Wiser?
I have to admit that this sixtieth birthday of mine was the hardest of all to accept, and yet, I am so grateful for all God has given me…a career that I enjoy, a husband I love, a supportive family, wonderful friends and so much more. Perhaps I am not only growing older but wiser. But I’m not so sure…so as I take a look back I realize this past year of my life (and yours) has been spent in an…

There is always hope
There is always hope
For a few moments, when the clock struck midnight, I felt a ray of hope on New Year’s Eve that this year, 2021, would be better. And then dark times seemed to set in right away…the news headlines, the increasing rifts in the nation, taking down the Christmas tree and decorations and missing family who had never even seen them due to the pandemic, the coronavirus itself and the impact on the…

Blessings for the New Year
Blessings for the New Year
“Write the vision…it will surely come.” (Habukkuk 2:2-3) For the first time in my life, I made a vision board for 2020. There are times I have felt like scratching through the “20” and writing “21” over it. Of course for the entire world 2020 has been a particularly rough year…quarantining, wearing masks, not seeing loved ones, losing loved ones, looking like strangers to each other,…

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
“For no word from God will ever fail…” (Luke 1:37) This line from the Gospel of Luke about the angel Gabriel visiting Mary to announce she was to bear a son who would be the Messiah resonates with me since it makes me realize that God has and always has had a plan to save us through his Son from the beginning of time…and that all of the Bible scriptures are tied together to fulfill this event.…

Take Advantage of This Advent Season...
Take Advantage of This Advent Season…
“Prepare the Way of the Lord…” (John 1:3) Have you noticed there seems to be a Christmas frenzy going on? Of course it’s most likely due to the pandemic, which has caused people to be cooped up for a long time. Apparently people “need a little Christmas right this very minute…” as the song from the Broadway musical “Mame” goes. I think that’s why we’re seeing the flood of what I’ll call the…

Are You on Fire?
Are You on Fire?
Imagine this…you wake up and instead of feeling like this is just another day at the old grind, instead of feeling like you want to crawl back under the covers or just get through to the weekend, you know something new and different is going to happen today. You are starting a new job and it’s scary and exciting…your whole life has been leading you up to this point in time. You feel like you’re…

A Mother's Point of View...
A Mother’s Point of View…
I was recently interviewed about the release of my newest book, The Jealous Son, and it dawned on me that I wrote it from a mother’s perspective (that of Eve in the Bible, or Eliza Trellis as the character in the book) for a reason. For those who haven’t read it, it’s a contemporary suspense novel based on the Bible story of Cain and Abel about sibling rivalry and what happens when…

What will we gain from this time? I've got to tell you this was one of the hardest blog posts I've ever written. Feeling a little down (and I might add listless and lazy) I asked myself more than once, "what's the point?" With so much going on in the world for so long amid the Covid-19 pandemic, what difference is a little piece of inspirational writing going to make?
Even Now…Easter Joy! "After the President’s news conference was over, one of the reporters made the observation that for the first time in our nation’s history we won’t be celebrating Easter.
Be the Light of the World! We are suddenly in a new world that is seeming darker and darker with each new day as the coronavirus spreads, infecting and killing innocent people in its wake.
For Such a Time as This… "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish.
This Lent, Learn to Love the Bible
This Lent, Learn to Love the Bible
We are officially now in the season of Lent, which will hopefully be a time for spiritual reflection and growth leading up to the celebration of Easter. It is usually a time we either “give up” something to remind us of our commitment to this reflection and growth…whether it’s a food item like chocolate or chips, or a bad habit like smoking or complaining. But this Lenten season, in addition to…

Love and Marriage…Gifts from God
Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy National Marriage Week!I wasn’t going to blog this week…I told myself I am way too busy keeping up with my paying job to bother with putting inspirational messages out into the world (for which I’m not getting paid). But I know my husband religiously reads my blog along with several of my friends and family (thank you!!) so I decided it was worth taking a break to…

Which Team Do You Stand For?
Which Team Do You Stand For?
Yes, the Super Bowl is going to be here in a few days…and if you’re like me and your team didn’t make it in (my home team is the Baltimore Ravens) you may not care much about which team to root for. Or maybe you do. Either way, we are a nation of sports fanatics, especially when it comes to football. Wouldn’t it be great if we could be that passionate about our religious or spiritual beliefs?…
