                                  Ahhh, hush little baby. Dooonnn't you cry . . .   Lord, music is yours. Some make it beautiful with your gift. Those who don't fail to realize who created it. Please lead hearts to your Son. Holy Spirit, we're desperate for your leading. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

                                        Yes, it's only pre-season and all that it entails. No matter. We're fan-addicts when it comes to the Seahawks. GO HAWKS!   Lord, thank you for all the talents you disperse to all of your creation. Thank you for those who worship you in what they do. Help all of us to be…

       An old Bones scene from years ago that played out well. The ensemble cast has great chemistry then and now.

                 The first book in Brenda S. Anderson's romance series is ready for pre-order. Although not the genre of Brenda's heart, she stuck to the general format of romance novels and kept the conflict alive almost up to the final page. Risking Love is the story of four individuals – yes, really – who form…

     "To what then can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other:      'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance: we sang a dirge, and you did not cry.' For John the Baptist…

                          Many of you will remember Erin Healy as being Ted Dekker's primary editor before becoming an award winning, bestselling author in her own right. I haven't read all of Erin's work, but I've read enough to describe what I've read as speculative/supernatural fiction. She's a terrific writer. I'm not one that gravitates toward speculative novels, but I…

            There are still changes from these pictures taken just a week ago. The stairwell is now painted a shade of grey that accentuates the wood and complements the light metallic grey (Ralph Lauren's "Silver Wedding") on the entry wall (where the front door is). The orange in the dining room is…
