  •      He [Jesus] went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those…

  •                  To answer my own question on Brenda Anderson's promotional post for Sweet Release, let me quote the question that generated zero responses there: "Why do you read romance novels that don’t adhere to the “squeaky clean” mantra of most Christian romance?" No one responded. First, let me explain why I used that question to generate conversation.…

  •   My dear friend Brenda Anderson has graciously featured me on her blog to help promote Sweet Release. I'm thankful to her for her support both prayerfully and promotionally.

When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles: Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who…

  •    The most disappointing of series television is Person of Interest. Not because of the plot or its bleak outlook but because it suddenly felt compelled to use the two female characters in a lesbian liaison and to feature a sex scene to establish it. Now most every show on television is rushing to include…

  •      This is the month when most of the regular programming for the big three networks conclude their seasons. In some cases the final episodes of a series will usher "The End" to a long-running favorite. Monday evening gave viewers the concluding episode to the popular but cancelled Castle which lasted for 8 seasons – a considerable time for series…

  •    Okay. So in relation to writing, I'm tired of learning. I know. I know. Some of your jaws just dropped. And some of you smirk thinking, "Well no wonder she doesn't sell many books." Hey, it's true. But after a point and seven plus novels which aren't in and of themselves good reasons to…
