Phew! Some of us have been there - in the prison surrounded by bars of anguish and helplessness.

Here’s the question: Is God Almighty - powerful, loving, and all-knowing - aware of me, little old me trapped in the prison of gloom?

New posts at Aspiring Author

At the Aspiring Author we've been discussing some of the reasons writers are aspiring authors instead of published authors.

Performance anxiety and insecurity, lack of time, lack of support, and not being honest about the quality of the work were just some of the reasons provided by published and aspiring authors.

We've begun to… Continue

Along Route 66

I just returned from a road trip from Texas to Illinois, crossing through Oklahoma and Missouri on the way. Much of this trip took us along Route 66. As any seasoned road-tripper knows, one passes ancient gas stations and Greyhounds. (We called them Road Dawgs when I worked there.) Truckers and trains. Red barns in various stages of beautiful decay. Yawning green pastures dotted with all forms of newly born animals. Fruit stands selling local plums and peaches. Waterways with names like Honey… Continue

Sweeter and more delicious than chocolate...

Sweeter and more delicious than chocolate…

I have friends who are a little nutty, some who are just a hoot, some creative, others loving, some generous, and others who are a walking image of Christ…and this weekend in Dallas, I just happened to be with two who possess all said attributes.

I attended a speaking engagement outside of Dallas. After I spoke, my dear friends picked me up and graciously invited me to their home for the evening.

There we were, chatting… Continue

HANG UP THE PHONE!

HANG UP THE PHONE!

10 to 15 years ago, the number of people who owned a cell phone was much less than it is today.

I can remember having a cell phone when many people didn’t. However, post-9/11 has made having a cell a necessity. I know this is true, being a person born and raised in New York City.

Cell phones should be used while driving only in the case of emergencies. They should be used with hands-free devices such as earpieces or Bluetooth equipment. There… Continue
