As a writer and an author, I have always paid attention to song lyrics, and more times than not I fell hard for those songs with unique or special lyrics to mesh with the great tunes. I know nothing about the band Alfred Hall except the two young men who started it are Norwegian,…

             When I think of "true crime" publications, I remember True Crime magazines from my youth. I didn't read them, but I remember them. Next I think of the notable Ann Rule who wrote about serial killer Ted Bundy among others. Now I will tell people about Las Vegas Detective Bradley Nickell who wrote Repeat Offender…

              Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.                                Psalm2:12b (NIV)

  Okay. Because it's the day before Independence Day, and I have very little to say today, and none of you probably have time for this silliness, but I can't think of anything else, so here we are with a huge run-on sentence precisely because I can't think of anything else, so I want you…

  Happy Birthday to my first born son pictured here with his son, my grandson. You went through so much and yet you still love me. Thank you for being who you are. May the Lord continue to mend your heart and heal all pain. Have a day where God's abundance hits you hard and…

  Debra made a good comment the other day when I stated I enjoyed chapter titles. She agreed and mentioned she felt like quotations were always a fun bonus to begin chapters. I'm reading a true crime story by a Las Vegas police detective and he uses amazing quotations to begin his chapters. I'll probably…

                                   Deadly Devotion by Sandra Orchard, published by Revell, is advertised as romantic suspense. I would classify it as a cozy mystery. And since cozy mysteries aren't my particular cup of tea (pun intended for those who will read or have read this story), all I can say is for those readers who enjoy the amateur sleuth…

  Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator – who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave…

  I've come to the conclusion that I really enjoy chapter titles, not that I prefer them over just numbering the chapters. When an author selects a title that eludes to the content but doesn't give it away until the reader realizes its intent after finishing the chapter, I find that those titles enhance the…
