Life Springs – a Journey
Posted on April 7, 2014 Leave a Comment
It’s a small place. Too small, it would seem, to be able to so separate 300 men from ten thousand. And yet, that’s what happened. This is Gideon’s Spring, the place in Judges where God used a method of drinking water to separate those that fought to free Israel from those who were told to […]
Another Process has begun for me

I was recently in Israel on a tour. It was great except for breaking my wrist the day after I got there. People told me they thought I was a trooper, continuing on the tour for most of the activities. I tried to be. It wasn’t always easy, and the next few months is a […]
Patience is hard

We’ve been in a l -o-n-g winter. So many people I know have complained and griped about how LONG this winter is. I’ve not complained, but I understand their frustration. We live in a society that wants everything instant. Some people we know did lose power for a week or so in our region during […]

I don’t have a picture of MASH’s cast, but I do have a picture of me about that time. My hair was a dark copper red. As you can see, it’s not anymore. 🙂 Instead of a final, our professor asked us to write a script for an existing half-hour series. I chose MASH. I’d […]
In the Beginning…my Writing Journey

It would have to be when I got my first Five-year Diary. I was so bad, I hardly ever wrote in it. It was gift from someone, could have been Mom. I honestly don’t remember. Then, I bought a second Five-Year Diary, one that I liked the cover better. I wasn’t consistent and I never […]
Better with Time

Better with time…Coffee percolates. Wine ferments. People need process. This is a bud from my Royal Star magnolia tree in my front yard. It takes a while before it blooms. It gives us time to change. God may have created the world in six 24-hour days, but He certainly took His time after that. Look […]
A Rose by any Other Name

I love the fact that God allowed Adam to name everything on earth. He named this a rose. It was in full bloom at the time this picture was snapped. It didn’t get there overnight. Writing is a journey. Nearly two years ago, I asked the Lord for a “novel” idea, and He brought to […]
A novel choice – a novel process
Posted on February 17, 2014 2 Comments
Meghan’s Choice is the novel I’m working on. Most people don’t understand that writing a novel and getting a book published is long process, one that most don’t have the patience for. I don’t know if God’s “days” were 24 hours or 24,000 years. But God is interested in process. We’re interested in circumventing or […]
