May reads

In: Reading, Uncategorized on: May 31, 2024

I’m warning you upfront: this is a long post!  But don’t be too impressed. May is a long month and here at the end, I had a daytime stretch of 16 hours with no power, so I read. What else are you going to …

April reads

In: Reading on: April 26, 2024

March reads

In: Reading on: March 29, 2024

I think I’ve said this every month so far in 2024, but I have no idea how I read so many books! Granted, one was a short story, but still. So we’d better get started.  A Heart Sufficient by Nichole Van What a …

Books I want to re-read

In: Reading on: March 7, 2024

My Library and Book Buddy

In: Family, Reading on: February 8, 2024

When we put our house back together in December, we saved our library for last. The reason was two-fold.  First, we had our bookshelves re-stained and they weren’t finished until late December. Second, we wanted to …

I did a bit of reading this month! And an eclectic group of novels it is. (I know, I should have thrown in at least one non-fiction. Maybe next month. I have a few on my shelf I want to get to!) Let’s dive in! A Million …

In: Faith, Family, Reading on: January 26, 2024

My husband was gone all week on a business trip.  And I stayed at home.  I don’t do that very often, but I just wanted to be in my house after so long out of it. I had planned to have my dear friend visit …

"The Work of His Hands: a novelette”

Bea wants nothing more than to go to college and learn more about the world God created. Her mother even left money in trust for her to do so. She only wishes her father supported her dream. But when Papa gets into financial trouble in the young town of Fort Worth, Texas, Bea must decide what is more important—her education or her father's well-being. Can she trust the God of creation to make something beautiful of her life?”

Along with the story you’ll receive my newsletter updates as well.
