An Author’s Review of Dabble

This web-based manuscript organizer has many benefits — Disclaimer: I am not an affiliate of Dabble. This is simply an honest review from an author who has found it helpful and valuable as I work on my current project.

I’m a Christian and Am Sick and Tired of Thoughts and Prayers

At the time of this writing, 20 people have died in Uvalde, Texas after an 18-year old shooter opened fire. Eighteen of them are children. High-profile school shootings like today’s, along with Columbine, Sandy Hook, and…

There’s a Knocking at the Door

Will you answer it? — The Sunday school room in my childhood church had a picture of Jesus knocking at a door. It hung straight ahead as you walked in. I loved it — a familiar sight in a familiar place. The picture also fascinated me. There was a luminescence about Him, a holy glow…

Spring Update from the Writing Desk

Hooray for spring! — Good gracious! It’s been a long winter. Spring slips in and out, teasing us with her balmy weather and earthy scent. Winter grapples with her, wanting to throw a few good freezing jabs our way before he finally relents and lets her take center stage. Just wanted to check in…

The Hope and Healing Power of Springtime

Renewal and beauty abound — Springtime and winter have been wrestling lately in my corner of the world. One day, I’m layering on a sweater and scarf over my clothes and scraping ice from the windshield. The next, I’m stepping out of the house without a coat. Morning birdsong sounds louder and more urgent. This…

Simplicity Series Week 1: Ditch Physical Clutter

Too much stuff = not enough peace — Our family’s dream of nearly twenty years came true this summer. I count myself blessed to have spent two months on the road in our new RV. It was all the things we’d hoped for and more. But this isn’t about the amazing trip we had. Sure, we saw many…

Searching for Simplicity?

It’s all about turning to God and decluttering — As with last year, 2021 has brought a unique set of challenges. It also continues to reveal important insights to me.
