The Prayer I’ve Never Ever Prayed Before
I hate waiting so much. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. And I'm waiting a lot right now. I'm waiting to hear back on a lot of projects, a lot of queries and a lot of programs. I'm waiting to hear back from editors and publishers and event planners and teachers and...
In My Book Bag: My Five Favoirte Foodie Memoirs
I'm in the middle of writing a food book and am loving reading about other food adventures. Here are my top five foodie books. Nothing better in the summer than reading about other people cooking - except eating other people's cooking. 1. Animal Vegetable Miracle - A...
It’s All Good
I never realized how often I said this particular phrase until after I had taught at a weekend retreat. Everything that could have gone wrong, did. There was infighting in the group, the facility was overrun with spiders, and the woman who was suppose to assist me...
In My Book Bag – Mennonite in a Little Black Dress
It must seem like the only thing I am doing this summer is reading books (and come to think of it, that wouldn't be such a bad way to spend a summer...) We have had two family emergencies and a business trip in the past three weeks bringing us to seven different...

What Makes You Pre-Laugh?
Roger and I have had a very busy week. After Kimber graduated from High School, we boarded a plane for Atlanta to stay with Roger's mom. Dean - Roger's step-dad, was almost 98 years old and had a life of ministry and travel and love that most of us can only imagine....
Because Sometime? I’m Just All Shallow – You Know? SYTYCD
If you have not watched the first episode of So You Think You Can Dance this season go over and check the promo for it here. Yes. Right now. I'll wait. Amazing. Right? I have to say I was an Idol drop off this year. (Not that I missed Paula, but it just wasn't...
A Sneek Peek at the Next Book Cover
Isn't it adorable? It won't be out until January 1st, 2011. Which makes me sad becuase I want to put it on my book shelf. (Something I love about my books? You can totally spot them from across a crowded CVS.) I really, really love it. I mean, I really do. And how...
