  •           Okay, it's Wednesday so let's do something a little bit different today.  Please name your favorite characters and what genre/book they're in. You can name as few or as many as you like.  Tell me why they're a favorite.  Do it. It'll be fun, and it might help others figure…

  •     Yeah, baby. Sing it, Percy! A classic!   Father, thank you for creating us. We don't deserve your great and magnificent love and yet you pour it out on us. Thank you for true love between a man and a woman. Thank you, Jesus. Make us better, help us to love better, Lord.…

  •                   As the title suggests I have a request. IF you've read any of my novels, I would really appreciate you leaving a one-word comment that encompasses your opinion of the book (or books) you've read. You would be doing a personal favor for me, and if…

I do not.  I have included Christmas celebrations in two of my novels, but each one is just a part of the timing in the storyline not the main feature.  For someone whose favorite holiday is Christmas,…

  •     A nice little love song with some good saxophone. Hope you like it.    Father, thank you for those you've given to create and play music. May each one know who has given them their gifts. Please bless them with that knowledge. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

  •       Do you have favorite opening lines from novels you've read? They're either so bold, so unusual, or so touching that they stick in your mind.
