  •                  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…

  •      (All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus' words [Luke 7:18-28], acknowledged that God's way was right, because they had been baptized by John. But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God's purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)   Luke 7:29-30 (NIV)

  •       A snapshot behind the series Magnum P. I., one of the best by Donald Bellisario. Definitely one of the superior series on network television.   Father, thank you for good entertainment, for the positive talents of those you've gifted with creative abilities for television and film. You are the impetus for every good…

  •                           Fabulous fun! Loved this movie. So much.   Thank you, Lord, for fun and laughs. We're desperate for you and appreciate those moments when the world and its cares slip away as we immerse ourselves in the creativity of others. If only all of those who create realized the good and best ideas…

  •      Silly for sure but at least might generate a smile. Here's to Allstate for bringing humor into their advertisements with just the right actor to pull it off.   God, you must have a sense of humor watching us mess up in the silliest of ways. I'm sure you've rolled your eyes more…
