This is what happens when creativity advances to favorite foods. What? How about you? Do you have a favorite dessert?                                         Ah, Lord. You know I love desserts. Thank you for the variety of creations and the sweet sweet tastes. In the Name of Jesus,…

                             I've never understood those of you who claim you never watch television. I do understand the various reasons cited for avoiding it. "There's so much garbage/smut on television." "It's a waste of my time." "I get bored just sitting there." First of all, if you're careful and discerning, you can sift through…

      The much loved character of Ziva David, played by the lovely Cote de Pablo exited the long-running series NCIS Tuesday evening. She will be greatly missed. Hope to see you back on the show at some point, Cote, although unlikely. A well-written complex character, Ziva was played to perfection by Cote de Pablo.…

      Yesterday I spoke of tears, the emotion behind them. People have mixed feelings about "being emotional", some viewing it as a curse, others celebrating the depths of it. Most fall somewhere in between. I've read novels from methodical writers, and I usually find them technically precise but emotionally unsatsifying. If I wanted examples…

                                So many things make me cry. I can cry over a sentimental commercial. Anything to do with dogs or horses. I used to cry at the first race on Opening Day of horse racing many years ago. I cry when I see certain individuals because I sense the Lord's touch on their…

            Of course there are multiple reasons for writing anything. If you must write for your business, for a speech, for an assignment, or for fun, there are many ways and desires to write. Those who choose to write novels usually give specific answers when asked. I write novels because I believe in inspiration.…

                                  Fun time of the year for those of us who enjoy television. Two of my favorite series kicked off Tuesday night. For NCIS fans, this season will be bittersweet as they struggle to recover from the exit of very popular character "Ziva David" played by Cote de Pablo. She's endeared herself to…

      Once upon a time during my first year at the racetrack, I lived in a small cabin. It had a skinny bathroom with a toilet, sink, and shower, a bedroom big enough for a single bed and a dresser with a floor rug in between the narrow space, and a tiny kitchen back to…

       Father, thank you for the many friends you've given me throughout my life. They've loved me, blessed me, taught me, consoled me, made me laugh and cry, prayed for me, and encouraged me. You have been my closest friend even when I failed to realize it. You've always known me at my…
