    My dearest friend's husband died Saturday night after a long illness. He was a unique, amazing, godly man. It seems trite to say "he will be missed by all who knew him" but you couldn't know Michael without being won over by his wit and slightly warped sense of humor.

    For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. Psalm 139:13.  I came across this wrought-iron patio set in a little nook at Ridgecrest Conference Center in North Carolina. I’ve gone there every May for ten years and I'd never seen this pretty little cubby hole.

In between the classes, there are the reunions with precious writer friends and the excitement of making new ones. And then there is the beauty! And, above all, the amazing presence of God! Peace, joy - this place is a sanctuary for me. Is there a place that brings you… Read More

    I haven’t been in Memphis in years.  Way too long.  I planned a visit several times but something always came up. Something that seemed more important at the time.  Now, as I sit and look around at Aunt Jo Anne, Uncle John and a room full of cousins, I realize that those things weren't so important after all.  Praise God for the love and joy I feel in this room. For the shared stories and… Read More
