                 Five things I love about summer: Sitting in the sun reading a novel The early morning sunshine The smell of heat The cold drinks The tan   Thank you for this beautiful season, Lord. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

  Is it summer yet? Not according to the calendar. However, my June post is over at Novel Rocket today. Just some observations from my writing life.   Father, you know my heart, and I'm thankful. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
