  • Sunday’s Offerings

           After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. With a mighty voice he shouted:           "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!               She has become a home for demons…

  • Friday’s Rant

              I apologize for this not being a new rant. Not new. Still aggravating. To me.  If you choose to read secular/general market fiction, the possibility for graphic sex, violence, and/or language/profanity is almost guaranteed. Expected. The way it is most of the time. If you choose to read Christian Fiction,…

  • Throwback Thursday

                            Well, some things are not cooperating for this post, so I'm going to post another selection of free verse going back in time.    Young There were songs and themes and drums, laughs and stares, far-off intentions hidden in hearts. Concerts and movies,…

  • In time . . . .

                                                                 I've been tinkering with a little free verse. I used to write a lot of it long before I wrote novels. A remembrance and request…

  • Tuesday Tunes

              One of the absolute best crooning and purest voices of many years ago. Love songs at their best from Johnny Mathis.    Father, only you know hearts. Please touch those to whom you've given such talent and turn their hearts to you. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

  • Sunday’s Offerings

               "This calls for a mind with wisdom. the seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. The beast who once…

  • Excerpt . . . again.

        This is from Chapter 13 of my WIP (Work-in-Progress):      I accompanied her in silence until we reached the area between her cottage and my home, waiting until she unlocked the door and turned with a smile and a brief wave. Walking back to the car, I got in and sat there…

  • Memories . . .

              There are times in our lives which we almost rush past, participating but not realizing how quickly these times will pass and move on to the next times in our lives with barely a moment to truly reflect on what took place. That's when memories are called upon by a…

  • Real or Not?

    The highest praise for me directed at my novels is this: "They seem so real. It's like I know the people in the story – or that I want to meet them."  "I appreciate the honest reality of the temptations many Christian’s experience and struggle with." "Right off the bat I was drawn to the…
