Here's the #1 reason why it's been an amazing week. Grandson #5 was born last evening and that alone makes this a Wonderful Wednesday. We're thankful for a safe delivery and healthy baby! My heart overflowed with so many emotions during these last days that calling it an amazing week is a meager misnomer. But … Continue reading An amazing week

That is indeed a cause for celebration! My advent into the blogosphere began on June 20, 2005, so I've averaged about 100 posts annually … Continue reading The 700 Club

I look forward to reading his newer novels: The Mountain Between Us, … Continue reading Charles Martin on getting published

Poor Matthew's been "in hospital" for so long that even I began to despair of his release. For many reasons, this week seemed like a good … Continue reading Matthew still lives
