A little Saturday something to help you in your walk with Jesus
Hey friend, that little home studio I threw together is already coming in quite handy! I usually have to get in warp mode when I have to do a zoom interview with a radio station, podcast, conference director, etc. Now, I just have to sit down and talk. As you know, the talking part comes easy. LOL! Be nice. God don't like ugly. But, here's
To Bless Another is to Bless God Himself
Hello friend, God's word tells us to, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
Thanksgiving kicks off with FREE Printables!
Thanksgiving! It's long been one of my hands-down favorite holidays, and I'm so grateful, no pun intended, that this season of gratitude has proven more resistant to the trappings of commercialism than our other celebrations. May it always be, right?! So, in the spirit of the season, I've created y'all a little Thanksgiving gift! PRINTABLES! I printed the ones you see here in heavy cardstock with a
The Mysterious Attentiveness of God
I was at the Dallas airport, riding the Skylink headed to another terminal, when I took a phone call from my sister. I didn’t have her on speaker, and I was trying to keep my voice down, because no one enjoys loud one-sided conversations, but I sensed I was bothering the older woman seated directly across from me. I thought I knew why. The nature
Broccoli Love for People Who Don’t Think They Love Broccoli
“Broccoli Love” (for people who don’t think they love broccoli) Wash and prep broccoli. Coat with olive oil, red pepper flakes and much garlic. As Foghorn Leghorn would tell it, “I say, I say much garlic.” See pic. Spread on cookie sheet. No crowding. Your broccoli requests room to breathe, y’all, or it won’t get crunchy and all caramelizy. Yes, I make up words but sometimes I need
When Words Come Due
Getting these thoughts down won't be easy. I know that as well as I know my own name. I also know I should be working on the manuscript that's under deadline. And I was, until this piece ambushed me. Words that have been politely bidding their time in the corners of my mind, marinating like nobody's business, have suddenly demanded to take shape in black
Are You Wearing a Mask?
There's a collage of pictures on my phone that makes me laugh every time I see it. Three little hams and one big one are depicted wearing identical paper masks, the kind that anchors around your head with an elasticized band. The little hams would be the three Lake Providence grands. The big one, well, I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't
Let God Love You
I'm smart enough to know I'm being used when Weston the Wonder Boy slaps a big messy kiss on my face at the same time he's pilfering a French fry from my plate. It could have something to do with his mischievous grin, that adorable mass of blond curls atop his head, or how much he's looking like his daddy to me these days. Regardless,
Oh, How He Loves Us. Oh!
In my first book, "Lessons Learned on Bull Run Road", I wrote about my summer love affair with the bookmobile from the East Carroll Parish Library. I couldn't find an image of that old vehicle but it looked a whole lot like this. For a little booklover at the end of a dirt road, miles from a public library, that bus of books lumbering down our

Hello folks, let's chat
