(I'm not sure how long ago I posted this, but I think it was in 2011. For me, it provided a reminder of perspective.) All in good time . . . Those of you who “know” me are aware of my two self-published novels. The first one Hope of Glory was begun in 1993,…

  Here's another oldie but a goodie! Great old song!    Father, so much talent you've given. Let each one know from whom their talent comes. Thank you is never enough. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.   

Christian readers of novels are an enigma. It's not that they're readers of many genres. It's not that they are of all ages.

Many years ago, two cases of my first novel accompanied a mission trip to either Ghana or Guinea in Africa. Another two cases went to Florida with a pastor. I also took a couple of cases to the local racetrack (Emerald Downs) to be sold or given away to racetrackers. It's a comprehensive story about…

  After a glitchy start, it's time for Tuesday Tunes. Enjoy one of the many hits from this great voice and talent.    Father, only you save souls. Thank you is never enough. May everyone you've gifted in the arts know from whom their talent comes. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

From my older novel Sweet Release: CHAPTER ONE   Claudia Madelyn Rutheford hated her name. Not even as a child did she once remember liking her name—especially when the other kids teased her by calling her a “clod” which she never thought was even remotely clever or funny in spite of their hysterics.
