So, the other day I read an entire article on different types of wall anchors. ThisOldHouse.com is bookmarked on my mac. And I’m pretty sure if anyone ever trusted me with a saw, I might actually do an okay job. No, I’m not on a quest to become the next Ty Pennington. Though, if I was, I’ve got at least …
Interview with debut author Lisa Jordan!
Two years ago, nearly to the day, I attended the first-ever My Book Therapy Storycrafters Retreat. That retreat re-charted the course of my writing journey. And it’s also where I met some of my closest writing buddies…including the fabulous Lisa Jordan. Since then I’ve attended several other MBT retreats with her, roomed with Lisa at the 2010 ACFW conference and …
Wanted.
About 72 to hours from now, I’ll be gushing about Coldplay’s new album. I’ll probably listen to it non-stop for weeks. Okay months. Okay years. (As evidenced by the fact that Viva La Vida has seen more playtime in my car than anything else since 2008. Yes, it’s been a long wait.) But this week? This week I’m still swooning …
Because funny videos are…funny.
Three things I love: …Autumn. …Listening to awkward conversations. Particularly when the involved parties couldn’t be farther apart on the glass-half-empty/glass-half-full spectrum. …Making silly videos. In fact, I’m sort of wondering if it’s my spiritual gift. (Possibly Paul accidentally left that one off his list…) And so, I bring you a Monday masterpiece! p.s. What’s your favorite season? Be Sociable, …
Dreams: Dumb question, awesome answer.
“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 Before my first piano recital–superstar in the making When I was a kid, I was pretty certain one day I’d be a musical sensation. And by “certain” I …
Dog days of October…
Spent the weekend dog-sitting my parents’/sister’s dog Rocky. Learned a few things… What Rocky likes: Sitting on my lap. Sitting near my lap. Staring at me until I acquiesce and pull him on to my lap. What Rocky hates: My car. Pretty sure he stood at the living room window and barked at my car for 10 minutes straight. Got …
Family and home and rugged hope…
May the God of hope fill you with all peace and joy as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ~ Romans 15:13 For the record, I pretty much have the coolest family in the history of families. Sure, Joseph’s dad might’ve given him a coat of many colors, …
Return Recovery
Fact: Readapting to everyday life after a week away is about as pleasant as a morning without coffee. (Sorry, non-coffee drinkers, if the simile rings impersonal.) Looking for a photo of a suitcase…but found this photo. Cool or what? But seriously, whether we’re talking vacation or a getaway of a different kind—like my recent trip to the oh-so-fantastic ACFW conference—there’s …

I’m back…and basking in understanding.
There’s something beautiful about 700 writers in one place. And slightly scary. (Um, listening to the voices in our head, talking to our characters, discussing plot points as seriously as military strategists…yup, scary.) But beautiful. With some of the awesome MBT Ponderers!Photo credit: Angela Bell I returned this week from the annual American Christian Fiction Writers Conference—the largest Christian fiction …
