Word of the Week
Since 2011, readers have been enjoying my “Word of the Week” posts, which look not just at the definition of a word, but at its history and etymology. These quick little peeks into words we use every day (or…don’t), are a fun way to learn something new in just a minute or two! Word Nerds, unite!
Word of the Week – -spire Words
Let’s take a look at the words that have -spire (breath) in them
Word of the Week – Muscle

Word of the Week – Green

Thoughtful Thursdays
Though a novelist by trade, one of the trademarks of my books is the spiritual depth and exploration I includes as my characters work through what it really means to walk out their faith. Faith, in fact, is one of the things I like to ponder most. In these once-a-week articles, I gets thoughtful at the crossroads of faith, family, and fiction.
The Circles of Faith
Which circle of faith are you in?
Let Your Peace Return to You
I never understood “your peace will come back to you” when we shake off the dust…but this recently hit me.
What If We…?
What if instead of reviling the other side, we did this instead?
History’s Story
Nearly all of my books are historicals, which means I do A LOT of research. Check out History’s Story for this novelist’s take on some of the historical tidbits I’ve learned through my research, especially on topics that end up in my novels.
