Woohoo! I’m so thrilled to welcome today’s special guest–author and missionary Elizabeth Musser. In addition to wonderful books such as The Swan House and Words Unspoken, Elizabeth is also the author of the recently re-released Two Crosses, Two Testaments and the long-awaited finale, Two Destinies. I love Elizabeth’s books…and I love the fact that today we not only get to …
Fun with team names
People don’t believe me when I say there’s a school up in Northwest Iowa whose team name is The Midgets. It’s so true. Their girls’ teams? The Midgettes. I promise you. Click here if you’re skeptical. Last week, I decided I’m a huge OKC Thunder fan. This has been brewing for some time. Okay, well, three weeks or so. Ever …
Light bulbs and lit-up faith.
Congratulations to the winners of last week’s giveaway for two books! I used a random number generator to draw the winners, who are: Loree Hueber, Extravagant Worship, and Pat Trainum, Kiss of Heaven. Loree and Pat, if you could contact me privately with your mailing addresses, I’ll get your books ordered. Everyone else, these books by worship leader Darlene Zschech …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Carol Stratton
Let’s give a hearty Tag(g)lines welcome to today’s guest, Carol G. Stratton, author of the 40-day devotional, Changing Zip Codes: Finding Community Wherever You’re Transplanted. I love how Carol described herself in an email to me: “reluctant expert mover.” I’m guessing we all become reluctant experts in one thing or another. (Me? Pretty sure I’m an expert spiller.) But I …
I have a dream(s)
Correct me if I’m wrong, but most people fall in love with people they’ve, you know, actually met. Right? They develop crushes because of appearance. Or personality. Or shared values. Me? I do things like read a book and decide to marry the author. Who, in this case, would be Tim Tebow. Don’t laugh. This is for real, people. I …
Passing it on: double giveaway!
Anyone who has been around Tag(g)lines in the past month knows I’ve been on a Darlene Zschech kick. First I read her book, Extravagant Worship. And then this week I finished The Kiss of Heaven, which is all about the dreams God plant on our hearts. (In this same timeframe I’ve also read a book by Joyce Meyer and Tim …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Tessa Afshar
I love discovering new authors! Even more so than discovering new hair products. (Yes, I have a problem. Yes, I blame it on seriously rebellious hair.) So, I was delighted to come across Tessa Afshar‘s Pearl in the Sand. And now she has a new book out, Harvest of Rubies. And what’s really, really exciting: she’s here today and she’s …
Memorial Day Remembrance
I’m back! Can I just say the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference is a must-attend from now on? Beautiful setting, awesome people, loads of fun and learning. Now, I had a totally brilliant random post all prepared for today, complete with references to Martin Luther King, Jr., Tim Tebow and mysterious men in elevators. But yesterday I remembered today …
Breaking at Blue Ridge
Hey friends! I’m taking a little blogging break while I’m hanging out at the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference. This is my first Blue Ridge experience, and I’m already loving it like crazy. Tag(g)lines will return with regularly scheduled posts next Monday, May 28. We’ve got a wonderful guest next week on Wednesday. And I’ve got something special planned …
Ordinary passionate people…part IV
I’ve spent recent Fridays chatting about a seriously goooood quote from the seriously goooood book Extravagant Worship by Darlene Zschech. You can read part I here, part II here and part III here. Today we’re finishing this up with a focus on the end part of the quote: Jesus grabs ordinary people, people committed to Him, committed to His plan and His purpose, …
