The Practice of Slowing
One of the things the Lord has been teaching me this year is the importance of Sabbath in my life. My Sabbaths usually consist of turning off my phone, putting it in the downstairs bedroom Friday night after church, making banana bread every other week (when I have the ripe bananas from a client-friend), going…

Being Apathetic Is A Pathetic Way To Be
In the rarest bout of honesty I can muster on this blog (and I do a lot of it anyway), I have to admit… lately I have felt as though I have been struggling to have emotions. Or at least, good emotions. And by “good”, I mean, “not snippy, snarky, or otherwise biting or sarcastic.”…

It was one of the worst weekends to sell books weather-wise, but…

Enjoy The Queue
This weekend my friend Rachel and I are in Chicago at FanExpo selling (or trying to sell) her books. The fun thing about this particular “company” of conventions is that if you are an “Exhibitor” you get a free pass to anywhere in the building, basically. Erica has taken full advantage of that feeling of…

The “Age Old” Question
A conversation I had with a friend earlier today prompted this blog, so we’ll see if I can remain on task. A lot of people in the Christian “world” struggle with what is acceptable to expose their children to and at what age would a thing be appropriate. For instance, (hot button topic incoming)Harry Potter.…
