Today is Halloween, but I’m not going to celebrate it or curse it. Most Christians have an opinion on this controversial subject, and I’ve lived on both sides. When I was in second grade, my family made the decision not to celebrate Halloween. Now, this was back in the days before “harvest parties” were PC. Only me and one other …
My angel died. Not a real angel, of course, but a VERY important angel nonetheless. The angel pictured at left was given to my husband by a special friend during his last years in pastoral ministry. Izzy came into his office one December day, proudly toting a wrapped Christmas gift. She plopped it on his desk and waited with a bright smile …

As humans, we can make things, using pre-existing elements to …
Christmas is Coming… At midnight tonight, Christmas Day begins. I remember several times over the years, my hubby would wake me up in the middle of the night to open gifts–’cause he just couldn’t wait until daylight. He’s often more anxious than the kids for our Christmas celebrating to begin. Where’s Baby Jesus? One of our favorite family traditions is …

In the powerful prequel to In Feast or Famine, Katesch was taken from her beloved son to become Pharaoh’s Songbird of Memphis. Her influence gains favor for an ambitious young priest named Potiphera. Drought scorches the land. Conspiracies thrive. Loyalties shift. Lives are lost. Can sacrifice free the Songbird from her gilded cage?
