Click for my most recent book

In Search of the Painted Bunting is a poignant and perceptive portrait of a young girl struggling with timeless challenges. Cornelia Taylor is on a quest to find an exotic bird, the Painted Bunting. But, like all quests, her path does not go on a straight line. It branches out in unexpected ways as Cornelia navigates the turbulent 1960s, as well as the turbulence in her family and at school. The discoveries Cornelia makes and the lessons she learns along the way are just as relevant today. This story raises important questions for every reader. What is your Painted Bunting? What is your quest? And how does God speak to you and lead you along the twists and turns of your path? I highly recommend In Search of the Painted Bunting, as it explores the joys and heartbreaks of adolescence. It will inspire you to search for your own elusive Painted Bunting. - Doug Peterson, Author of over 40 VeggieTales books

Words of encouragement if you're in a wilderness

I reached deep into the archives for one of my favorite posts about our time touring the places where Laura Ingalls Wilder lived. She continues to be a big inspiration in my writing, and I hope you enjoy her messages of encouragement as much as I do. Laura Ingalls Wilder Home in Mansfield, Missouri Some time ago, I wrote here about the summer our family spent zigzagging this country in a borrowed RV. If you'd like to read more about those adventures just click on the Dream Summer tag at the end of this post. Two of our favorite memories from that time is of visiting the Ingalls family homestead in South Dakota as well as the Mansfield home in Missouri where Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote the Little House books. In doing research for another project recently, I came upon a quote from her, which I know I’ve read but had forgotten. She wrote, “We had no choice. Sadness was as dangerous as panthers and bears. The wilderness needs your whole attention.” We face many ...

On the other side

We recently had opportunity to again visit the Wesley Woodland Walk on Saint Simons Island across the road from Christ Church. John Wesley was rector of the church’s first congregation back when James Oglethorpe came to settle Georgia at Fort Frederica. And for that reason, a garden has been developed in the area in Wesley’s memory. I love the way the garden is structured with a cross being the centerpiece. As I study the photo, I took from the end of the walkway looking toward the cross, dappled light falls across the path. It makes me think maybe Jesus entered Jerusalem on a light dappled path amidst palm waving and shouts of hosanna. And yet, Jesus knew the cross was before him. It was his destiny. It was the reason he came. More than anyone, he knew what was coming. This Sunday we will once more celebrate Palm Sunday by singing hosanna, waving palms, and remembering the fateful day before his crucifixion when Jesus entered Jerusalem. Upset over the joyful welcome Jesus received, ...

The light and your beating heart

I waited in the car as Jerry made one more trip inside before we left for church on a recent Sunday (one of us often must make another trip inside to fetch something we forgot before we go anywhere. LOL). I looked down for a moment and my gaze caught on sunlight dancing around a metal pendant I wore on a long chain. I wondered why the light moved as it did because I was sitting still. But then I realized the pendant moved with every beat of my heart catching the early morning rays and dispersing them around the filigreed pendant. I’m not sure I can explain why I was so moved by that experience, but it may have something to do with seeing the effect of my own heart beating and the beauty of the light as it did. And as I pondered the moment, I was reminded of a greater truth. As long as our heart is beating, we can reflect the light of Jesus for others. No matter where we go, no matter what we do, we are his people. Sometimes in the natural, we come across situations where it seems God...
