Dreams

We experienced ups and downs this year. Among these events, I had two dreams come true. I signed a contract with BelleBooks Publishing for a three book series of cozy mysteries.

Book One of my Low Country Dog Walker Series is Accounting for Trouble. It is scheduled to come out in February 2020. I look forward to introducing you to the characters in this series soon.

My second dream come true is our trip to France. We went with my brother and sister-in-law and the trip was amazing.





As we reflect on 2020, let's not forget to dream.

God is good...

I hope you enjoy this song.

Merry Christmas!

2 Corinthians 9:15

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

Merry Christmas

Christmas is an invitation to have a relationship with Jesus. God issued the invitation to lowly shepherds, fishermen, tax collectors, kings, you and me.

When we say yes to this relationship, God's promises come alive.

Let's look back at Mary's response to the angel's message. At first she's troubled and possibly scared because the angel tells her not to be afraid. She listens to the message and has one question. How? The Bible doesn't tell us Mary had many questions, but I'm sure she did. Still, she voiced one question. How?

Luke 1:37-38 ... For no word from God will ever fail.”

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

How will you respond to God's message this Christmas?

In case our last Christmas carol was a bit much for you, here's a more traditional song.



Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Christmas is Coming

Matthew 2:1-2

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him."

Matthew 2:10

When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.

Luke 2:10

But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people."


I hope you have a joyous day as you prepare for Christmas!

for KING & COUNTRY - "Little Drummer Boy" | Live from CMA Country Christmas

I hope you enjoy this. It's a different version of Little Drummer Boy. Give it a chance and let's reflect on the words and the gift for King & Country lay down.


A new born king to see...

Our finest gifts we bring...

To lay before the king...

What gift are we laying before King Jesus this Christmas?

Merry Christmas

Less than a week until Christmas. Are you getting more excited? More stressed?

Take a moment to breathe and focus on the real meaning of Christmas. Jesus.


John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Kindness and Christmas

Today's scripture comes from Titus. Focus on the word kindness as you read.


Titus 3:3-7

3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.


Kindness of our Savior. Let's strive to be kind to others today as a way to celebrate Christmas.

[Official Video] Mary, Did You Know? - Pentatonix

This is one of my favorite songs. No matter where I am when it plays, I stop.

In Luke, Mary asks for clarity. How? She's a virgin. The angel answered, and Mary replied...

Luke 1:38  “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

Merry Christmas

Nine more days until Christmas. Here are two more verses.

1 Timothy 1:15-17

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.


Isaiah 9:6

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Merry Christmas

Here are today's scriptures in our quest to keep our eyes on Jesus in the days leading up to his birthday.


Isaiah 7:14

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Emmanuel.

Isaiah 9:6

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Merry Christmas

It's almost Christmas, and I'm sure your days are as full as mine. I'm pausing to say thanks.

Thank you for spending time with me on my back porch this year. Whether 2019 was kind to you or not, I hope you have a merry Christmas. Whether you spend the day with family or not, I hope you have a merry Christmas.

Christmas is about Jesus.

2 Corinthians 9:15 says, "Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!" His gift is Jesus.

Galatians 4:4-5 says, "But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship."

In an effort to keep our eyes on Jesus the next few days leading up to his birthday, I'll continue to share Bible verses focused on Jesus' birth.

Merry Christmas!
