Surely it’s a myth…those long slow days of summer. Right? :)
Hello friends. I've been meaning to write to y'all for some time and the days just keep running into each other. I declare, I didn't think I would still be this busy at this point in my life, but here we are. :) My daughter-in-law gifted me with this little print years ago and it resonates with me more all the time. We held The 10th
What I’ve Learned about The Crimson Word
Psalm 19: 1-2 The heavens declare the glory of God and the earth reveals His handiwork. Day after day utters speech and night after night reveals knowledge. Oftentimes when I think about God weaving His story into nature I think of mountains, and oceans, the moon and stars, the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls…Sometimes, His fingerprints are smaller… In the Jewish interpretation of Scriptures there is a
The week the lights went out in Louisiana coincides with a new book baby!
Fair warning, friend. You may want to take this visit in sessions. I have a lot to say. Should you decide to stop for coffee, grab a bite to eat, or save some for another day, I wouldn't blame you one bit. Let's chat
Merry Christmas Catchup from our home to yours!
Hello friend, So much has happened since I wrote to y'all. It's hard to imagine how to recap it all, but knowing where to start is easy. Our family had a close call the week before Thanksgiving. The Beloved Farmer had an emergency appendectomy and things got dicey by the time he was wheeled into surgery. We could've lost him. It's hard to type those words.
Paying Attention to Where God Is Resting
Once upon a time I put my whole heart into a book called, Finding Deep and Wide and I became increasingly excited as the January 2020 launch approached. Recognize that date? I couldn’t have anticipated my book baby being swallowed up in the noise of a world-wide epidemic, but so it was. Its message never seemed to have a chance of finding the people I
Checking in with y’all about my new “influencer” role, and so much more!
Goodness gracious! I've got so much to tell y'all, I'm having a hard time deciding where to begin. Fair warning, I feel sure I'm going to get longwinded here, but here we go, (in no particular order!) This fall's speaking schedule is winding down even though it feels like it just kicked off! I'm headed off to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania this weekend. True story-- I only
Farming is dangerous but God is good!
I need to testify tonight, and it may be a long read but I post a lot about our way of life, and for the most part, it’s good and I mean everything I say. We love it. But, I rarely talk about the challenges of farming, the low commodity prices, the incredibly long hours, and the dangers involved in bringing crops to market. This
What’s making my eyes water today, and a free book for YOU!
Hey friend! I'm back in your inbox a little quicker than normal. Right? Well, it's going to be brief! Fact it, it has occurred to me that there was a development around here I haven't share with this reading community that is so dear to my heart! I'll close with that little news! First, here is why my eyes are watering today, and it's all
A Grab Bag of Thoughts and a Question I’d Love You to Answer
Hey friends! We're knee deep into summer now and it is hot in these parts. I do hope you're managing to stay cool where you are. This is random info, but I'm actually typing from the back porch with the fans going full force because I totally prefer it over the air conditioning. The beloved farmer thinks I'm nuts, but then he is in the
Rocking it Grand Freebie
Hey friends! Enjoy a taste of the book I wrote with author friend and podcast co-host Chrys Howard. Freebie - Introduction and two chapters of Rocking it Grand Hugs, Shellie
