A Mother’s Point of View…
I was recently interviewed about the release of my newest book, The Jealous Son, and it dawned on me that I wrote it from a mother’s perspective (that of Eve in the Bible, or Eliza Trellis as the character in the book) for a reason. For those who haven’t read it, it’s a contemporary suspense…
Read MoreWhat Will We Gain from This Time?
I’ve got to tell you this was one of the hardest blog posts I’ve ever written. Feeling a little down (and I might add listless and lazy) I asked myself more than once, “what’s the point?” With so much going on in the world for so long amid the Covid-19 pandemic, what difference is a…
Read MoreEven Now…Easter Joy!
“After the President’s news conference was over, one of the reporters made the observation that for the first time in our nation’s history we won’t be celebrating Easter. Well let me tell you one thing, he’s dead wrong. We might not celebrate what Easter has become in that there may be no new clothes bought…

Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy National Marriage Week! I wasn’t going to blog this week…I told myself I am way too busy keeping up with my paying job to bother with putting inspirational messages out into the world (for which I’m not getting paid). But I know my husband religiously reads my blog along with…

Yes, the Super Bowl is going to be here in a few days…and if you’re like me and your team didn’t make it in (my home team is the Baltimore Ravens) you may not care much about which team to root for. Or maybe you do. Either way, we are a nation of sports fanatics,…
Read MoreAre You Qualified for 2020?
I’m getting ready to lead a women’s spiritual retreat this weekend in Ocean City, Maryland and I’m excited and a bit nervous again as is always the case when I have a big speaking engagement coming up; I guess that’s “normal” and I’m only human. I’ll be giving three keynote presentations on the theme “Second…
