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

The Joy of the Lord--Her Strength

Due to an accident on May 15 in which both wrists were fractured, I have not posted on my blog since that time. It has been a long recovery, and I am still in process. I had hoped to begin next week with regular posts. But the loss of an extraordinary person has prompted me to come in a week early. I hope when you read this, you will be inspired by the life of our wonderful Connie. The joy of the Lord is my strength” (Nehemiah 8:10). Those of you who have read my small-town fiction series may remember a character named Connie. The character Connie was inspired by attributes of a real-life person also named Connie. There is another book in that series releasing this fall in which something big happens to the character. In real life, the biggest thing possible happened to our Connie this week—she crossed over into the arms of Jesus. If you asked twenty people who knew Connie what her most memorable characteristic was, everyone would say her laughter. In any space she occupied, she ...

My neighbor's apple tree, Luther, and planting hope

Here in an edited repost, I am sharing one of my favorite messages for Holy Week today. Dear friends, have a blessed Holy Week and Easter. May His presence be especially real to you during this Holy season. My neighbor’s apple tree used to branch over into my yard each spring allowing the people at my house to enjoy the blossoms. Later in the year, the deer made nightly excursions to devour apples that hung on its low branches. The tree was planted by the family who first built the house next door. In fact, they called the tree by their daughter's name as her daughter planted it when she was just a little girl. The former neighbors passed many years ago but the memories of the apple tree they planted and the fruit it bore are still with me. The sixteenth century Protestant Reformer, Martin Luther loved trees. According to one source, “The fresh Spring green of the trees was for him a symbol for the resurrection of the dead. It is said that in the tr...

Why Me? or What Now?

“Why Me or What Now” is part two of a series about a freak accident, which left me with two fractured wrists. It highlights God’s work and faithfulness during this time. If you missed part one, “My “Help and Stay,” just scroll down. I’m continuing to pray that someone else might find hope in a situation where they too, were jolted into a challenging circumstance. The next day after the accident, help began streaming in—from family, from neighbors, from friends, and from church family. Meal after meal magically landed in our kitchen. I didn’t have much of an appetite, but those that were helping me did and sure didn’t have time to cook. Our church is in the next town over, so some of our church members traveled at least an hour to bring food. And this went on for weeks. When we brought our son home, we looked at him a few days in, and said “How could a nine-pound baby turn the whole house upside down?” Well, I was a much bigger baby than that with my inability to help myself, and I ha...
