By the title of this post, it might look like I’m about to dole out wisdom-laden advice for taking the perfect author photo.Um. No.This would be what’s called a bait and switch, folks. Here’s the thing: I have to get new photos taken this week. How I dread this, let me count the ways. Don’t get me wrong. The photographer …
What "more" looks like.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory… ~Ephesians 3:20-21a Sometimes I love to just think about those verses in Ephesians. About how God can and has done more than I’ve asked or imagined. He’s awesome, yes? And …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Randall Allen Dunn
Hey folks, I’ve been pumped for today’s post for a long time. Our guest is writer Randall Allen Dunn…and he’s talking about one of my favorite topics ever: movies!

The Best Resolutions No One Ever Made
Photo credit: Free Digital Photos There is no sane reason or justification for the list you’re about to read. My only explanation? I was thinking the other day about how similar many people’s resolutions are. How we all tend to be hungry for the same changes. And you’d think that thought would take me somewhere philosophical, maybe even meaningful. Instead, it …
One Word for 2013
I love the start of a New Year. And I love making resolutions. I’m a goal-oriented, list-loving sort of person, so resolutions work for me.* But a couple years ago, author and friend Beth Vogtintroduced me to the idea of choosing one word for each year. I latched onto that right away…as have many others. It’s been fun to see …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Gabrielle Meyer
It’s the first Welcome Mat Wednesday of the New Year. Woohoo! I officially started welcoming Wednesday guests in December 2011, and it’s fun to look back at the list of who all has stopped by Tag(g)lines since. Such a cool group of authors, industry professionals and other fun friends. And I’m really excited about the lineup already in place for …
Merry Christmas Break!

In the meantime, I’ll be hanging out with family and probably eating waaaay too much. Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! Be Sociable, Share! Tweet
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Gina Conroy
Hey everybody! First of all, an apology for the lack of video intro today. I’m prepping this post on Tuesday while home sick. Boo. But trust me, nobody should have to see a video of me looking as I do today. Nobody. (Unless he’s a handsome doctor with magical meds.) Today’s guest is author Gina Conroy! Gina and I are …
Let’s take a vote…
… should dogs wear Christmas sweaters or no? This is my sister’s dog, Rocky, by the way. I’ve never seen a dog pose so patiently (or so seriously) for a photo. Aren’t Rocky’s ears huge? My coworker Lyndsay saw this photo and said: “Do you hear what I hear?” p.s. I thought all weekend about writing a post about the …
Risk and faith and crossroads.
Be willing to go out on a limb with Me. If that is where I am leading you, it is the safest place to be. Your desire to live a risk-free life is a form of unbelief. Your longing to live close to Me is at odds with your attempts to minimize risk. You are approaching a crossroads in your …
