What I heard
And Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God? Believe also in me." And I hear: We can not wrap our minds around God and our faith suffers for it unless we learn to wrap our reaching hearts around Jesus, the hope of glory! Believing in God way up there doesn't comfort the troubled heart. Believing He sent his only begotten Son
30 Days of Thankfulness- Day Four! This Sonday, I’m feeling grateful for my church family!
30 Days of Thankfulness-- Day Four! Authors, it's not to late to partner with us as we combine our platforms to raise awareness about human trafficking and raise funds towards their rescue through Kimberly L. Smith's foundation, Make Way Partners. Can we catch this vision together? I think so. In years past, I've asked you to donate a certain small dollar amount. This year, I'm respectfully asking you
I do these things so y’all want have to…
I woke up this morning craving hot chocolate. Were there any prepared mixes in the pantry? Of course not. Did I run to the grocery store? Of course not. I wanted needed to be writing! Besides, there's a reason my kids call me the queen of substitution. I scanned a number of recipes, took an idea from this one and an idea from that one, based on what

Andy Andrews to Visit ATS LIVE t/row, Mon. the 22nd
Most of you know that Sunday evenings generally find me prepping for Monday evening's radio show. By now you're accustomed to my asking y'all to join me for another visit on ATS LIVE, but never have I felt like it was more important for y'all to engage. As the presidential election nears, and the mud-slinging gets deeper, my special guest and I are going to wade into the discussion.
Weekend Warriors
OH, the fun we had this past weekend when the Houston baby czars joined the Louisiana czars! Four little ones under four creates the most wonderful chaos. I relished the first opportunity for them to play in Keggie and Pop's Grand Play House. The pictures don't do the spot justice, so here's some FYI: It's a walk-in closet that I cleaned out for them. I painted the bottom

Spice tea + comfy jeans + cool weather = Bestseller? Oh, just say yes!
Awoke to an awesome Saturday. Temps have dropped and I have a free block of time to get some words down on the work in progress. But, hey-- I may be offline but that doesn't mean I'm not thinking about y'all, dear readers. And to prove it, I thought I'd post one of my favorite fall treats. I whip up this Spice Tea every year around this time. It's next week's
Writing with the Stars meets The Story- A New Reality Radio Segment Premieres on ATSLIVE!
Fun! That's what it's going to be! I've been playing around with having an ATS LIVE segment that would be like a writing reality radio show, think Writing with the Stars meets The Story with different authors participating on each episode. And because I am a spur of the moment type of belle, I've decided there is no time like the present! That said, this
