• Day Trip by Tara Randel
  As we do every year, my daughter and I went to EPCOT for the Flower and Garden Festival. We always have a lovely day at the park, strolling around the countries to look at the gardens and the amazing topiary. … Continue reading →
• An Honest Look at Life in the Church by James R. Coggins
  I will start at the rather ordinary beginning and assure you that the more extraordinary matter later on is worth waiting for. I first met Dawn Miller by mail many years ago. I was an editor with a church denominational … Continue reading →
• Quiet Your Mind
  Do you ever feel as if you’re running in a dozen different directions and not accomplishing anything? I’ve felt this way a lot lately. With numerous writing deadlines approaching, it’s hard to stay focused on what is my most urgent … Continue reading →
• Why Am I Struggling So Much? by Bridget A. Thomas
  What is wrong with me? I asked myself this question recently. I was feeling irritated, frustrated, depressed, and angry. On the surface, there seemed to be no good reason for the turmoil of emotions. It went on for days and I … Continue reading →
• In His Time by Julie Arduini
  Authors often refer to their work as their “book babies.” I marvel at my peers who can crank out multiple releases a year. Me? Anchored Hearts released yesterday, and that pregnancy lasted nearly five years. When the idea first came … Continue reading →

• I Forget to Breathe by Julie Arduini
  Last month I received a gift my family and I determined wasn’t a want as much as a need. An Apple watch. When they first came on the scene I made fun of them because all I saw was people … Continue reading →
• Followers of Jesus by James R. Coggins
  We sometimes think of the Twelve apostles as a group and suppose that Jesus called them all at once. This is not so. According to Mark 1-2, Jesus first walked along the shore of the Sea of Galilee and called … Continue reading →
