Play Time!
Blessings Friends, What a glorious day! I should be working on a book proposal . . . and a million other things, but the sunshine outside, and the green in my flowerbeds are very distracting. I just got my seeds in the mail, and I can’t help but flip through my favorite gardening books, as […]

The Warning Before the Earthquake II
Blessings Friends, We’re finally getting back to Amos. When I closed part one of The Warning Before the Earthquake, I mentioned the lines between Israel and the U.S. blurring, and a great promise to the “special flock.” It’s very exciting for those who place their faith in The Lord! So, picking up where we left […]

What’s Wrong with the Church?
Blessings Friends, We arrived home safely from Spokane, to a very happy son. Something about the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl. I was wondering why there were so many blue and green jerseys walking around . . . I thought there was a sale. Anyway, I was prepared to continue with Amos, but then I […]

God’s Super Bowl Line Up
Blessings Friends, We interrupt this message in Amos for an important announcement from our Sponsor. My husband has brought me to Spokane, WA for some Birthday pampering, and who does God put me in the sauna with, but the beautiful mother-in-law and sister-in-law of Capt. Scott Smiley. Author of Hope Unseen, Scott was blinded in […]

The Church in Ruins
Blessings Family, I have to share with you a dream I was given early this morning. I dreamed I went to church with my family. It was a very small, crowded room. In fact, we were squeezing into the front row, which was pressed up against the pulpit. There were some people there who had […]

The Warning Before the Earthquake
Blessings Family, Thank you so much for all your prayers! I felt my spirit lift shortly after my last post. God is good. And faithful! He gave me such a wonderful dream that night of being surrounded by friends praying and laying hands on me! The presence of The Holy Spirit was so thick, I […]

Alone on the Mountain: Please Pray for Me
Blessings Friends, I hope you are all enjoying 2014. I’m asking for prayer. I’ve been fighting a cold since the day after Christmas, and now my little one has the bug. I just haven’t been able to curb her kissy face! But my biggest struggle this year, believe it or not, has been my season […]

Climbing the Mountain: The Risk and Reward of Reaching the Summit
Blessings Friends, For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.—Romans 1:20 I was watching a program about mountain climbing one evening. One of the climbers was talking about the effects of high altitudes on […]

The Color of Forgiveness
Blessings Friends, I had an interesting talk with the Holy Spirit the other day. As He moved silently through the space between sleep and wakefulness, I became aware of His presence. With Him came a flowing flag or cloth of green. I then became aware that there was a color for every “attribute” of God, […]

Life Imitating Art, or God-speak?
Blessings Friends, Oscar Wilde once said, “Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.” Seeing the out-of-this-world technology on the original TV series, Star Trek, become reality has certainly raised a few eyebrows. But, what if it weren’t merely “imitation.” Think about it. Somehow, out of the blue, these fantastical creations took shape in […]

Hearing From God: My Summer of Pressing In
Blessings Friends, It was a whirlwind summer with two writers conferences, PNWA in Seattle, and OCW in Portland, and a Bible conference, The Season of the Open Door in Spokane. My manuscript, Watch God Work [Published as Loved So Much, It Hurts], was well received at both conferences, and I have five agents and an editor […]
