Just out: A NEW THING, a small town romance

If you are looking for a sweet, small-town romance with all the southern, cozy feels—A New Thing could be the book for you! A story of second chances and forgiveness, this heartwarming Christian fiction will invite you into the lives of unique characters in the charming town of Worthville, touching on challenges of the empty nest, running a business, complex family relationships, and the possibility of romance. A delightful, encouraging read… perfect, of course, with a glass of sweet tea! —Laura Thomas, award-winning Christian fiction author

Also recently released:

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

When a sheep is lost

Less than a mile from my home, an elderly woman wandered off from her home on Saturday evening. Within a couple of hours an alert went out to the community. Police and even the national guard turned out in droves to search surrounding areas. As a helicopter circled overhead, we were encouraged to check our property for her. As I walked the neighborhood that evening, like others I scanned back yards and wooded areas to see if I could spot this dear one. As darkness drew on, the helicopter disappeared. I wondered who might still be out there searching because I knew she had to be scared and confused. We turned on our porch light to give her a path to our front door in case she wandered this way and unlocked our cars in case she was too scared to knock but needed a place to shelter because temperatures were falling and she probably wasn’t dressed for the weather. And we prayed for an angel to accompany her to a safe person or place so she could be restored to her family. I went to...

Even on the Far Side

NASA Like many of you, I am grateful and relieved at the rescue of the downed airman who fell behind enemy lines this week. He has often been in my prayers. This happened at the same time as crew members of Artemis II , Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist 1 Christina Koch, and Mission Specialist 2 Jeremy Hansen hurled toward the far side of the moon to see what no human has ever seen. As I’ve written here before, I’m fascinated with all things space travel. I wanted to be an astronaut in m...

Promises and a ramble through the roses

Some of my most viewed posts include those with scripture and photographs. The gardens at the State Botanical Gardens of Georgia are in full bloom right now and the roses especially are incredible. I wish I could take a picture of the scent in that area and share it with you. Along with sharing rose photographs, I also include promises from scripture that have meant much to me over the years. This is in no way a conclusive list, but simply a few from a great many—s ome say there are more than 7,000 promises of various kinds in scripture. Take a moment to ramble with me through the roses as we ponder the wonderful promises of God. Never will I leave you: never will I forsake you. Hebrews 13:5 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we as...
