Living in the Midst of Chaos by Peggy Webb
The news and commentary spewing 24/7 from network television is so depressing to me that I have to limit the time I spend watching. I have to remind myself on a daily basis that the politicians, rioters, war-mongers, drug pushers, … Continue reading
Forgiveness Through a Child’s Eyes by Peggy Webb
One of my greatest joys is teaching Sunday School to children, ages two to six. No matter what topic I choose, I learn more than I teach. Why? Because I always come away from the lesson with an innocent child’s … Continue reading

Put the Brakes on the Worry Train by Ann Malley
Let go and let God! Are you kidding me? Do you get frazzled? Do you freak out? I do. There’s still a consistent stream of Oh My at my house. While I do tend to overload my schedule, I’m blessed … Continue reading
Human Trafficking: What You Need to Know and Why You Need to Know It by Vicki Hinze
By Presidential Proclamation, our monthly observance is on Human-Trafficking and Human-Rights Abuse. I want to share a bit about human-trafficking because there’s so much on it in the news right now—and likely will be in the near future. How bad … Continue reading

Coming Across as Christ by Kristen Heitzmann
Two incidents in close proximity have given me the chance to examine how I come across–from both sides. First, after the Weekend With the Writers, I received an encouragement that moved me like a brush of the Holy Spirit. One of the attendees mentioned some … Continue reading

How much is too much?
My work-in-progress, Indomitable, has a lot of–well, everything. Action: wildfire Reaction: how it impacts the threatened town of Redford, Colorado (from Indivisible and Indelible) and involves the firefighters, police, politicians, and townspeople.

To Read or Not To Read by Kristen Heitzmann
The other night between 12:30 and 4:00 when sleep eluded me, I began a quest to winnow the titles on my Kindle. As Camy Tang said in a previous post, collecting a long list of books to read is easier … Continue reading
A Sense of Wonder by Kristen Heitzmann

Are Writers also Mentors to Their Readers?
I’ve posted a picture of a friend named Diane, standing between a script-writer friend named Kathie and yours truly, taken at a recent writers’ conference where Kathie and I were on faculty together. Diane graciously posted this picture on Facebook … Continue reading

When was the last time you were truly “amazed”?
“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound.” Nearly everyone, Christian or non-Christian, recognizes those familiar words to the beautiful old hymn. But in a time and culture that cheapens words by overuse, does the impact of the lyrics escape us? When … Continue reading
