Anniversary Thoughts
This will not be a long post, but I wanted to acknowledge that this month carries a special meaning for me. It was in March 2021, two years ago, that I began writing Sani: The German Medic. Here is my journal entry, dated March 6, 2021: For two or three days now I have beenContinue reading “Anniversary Thoughts”
January 2023 Author Update
Welcome to 2023! While I have not been doing well in my “determination” to make two posts on this blog every month, I have had a number of opportunities to share on other authors’ blogs. You are welcome to check out some of those posts below: This year I will also be sharing a devotionalContinue reading “January 2023 Author Update”
God With Us
I’ve had the pleasure of caroling twice this season, as well as doing Christmas music at church, leading the children’s choir, and singing in a choir full of wonderful senior citizens who have become my Opas and Omas (maybe I’d call a few of them Onkel and Tante, since I myself am now in myContinue reading “God With Us”
Of Babies and Bathwater
We’ve all heard that saying, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.” Too often in my life, I’ve focused on the bathwater to the exclusion of the baby. I’ve talked before about the legalistic Christian background from which I’ve come. I can’t say it’s always been that way in every church I’ve ever attended,Continue reading “Of Babies and Bathwater”
Between Fiction and Reality
It’s interesting to see my life experiences, or the experiences of loved ones, reveal themselves in the lives of my characters. This may sound funny, but sometimes it surprises me, like a great revelation. Oh, that’s where that came from! It gives me an opportunity to work through difficulties from my past that I haven’tContinue reading “Between Fiction and Reality”
“Little Fits Where Big Doesn’t”
“…it is a sin to be always seeking to hide that which God has bestowed upon us for the good of others.” – CH Spurgeon You can read Spurgeon’s entire evening devotional for January 12 here. It only takes two minutes and is well worth reading. While I can’t add much to what this greatContinue reading ““Little Fits Where Big Doesn’t””
Lord, Come and See
They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.” – John 11:34 NKJV When I read the story of the death of Lazarus this morning, these simple words struck me. Jesus had come to Bethany from where He was ministering because He loved Martha, Mary and their brother Lazarus. Now, the One whom others had beenContinue reading “Lord, Come and See”
Arm Me With Joy
Sometimes things just speak to you right where you’re at. Perhaps this blog will do that for someone today as the following words did for me. Psalm 51:12 is a well-loved verse that usually reads something like this: “Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.” (ESV) EvenContinue reading “Arm Me With Joy”
Letting Go of Promises?
Have you ever felt strongly that there was something God called you to, God gave to you, but at the same time you were forced to let it go? I’m struggling through that now. I can’t explain it. I’m frustrated by the fact that it seemed to have been confirmed through circumstances, open doors andContinue reading “Letting Go of Promises?”
