We are currently in the northern part of Nevada. It is so hot here we don't need the water heater turned on to get hot water for showers, washing dishes, etc. Likewise, our society (including our politicians) are so heated up with their own agenda that we have people fighting and killing each other over [...]

Mystery Monday Reblog: “The Stolen Child” by Sanjida Kay #BookReview #psychologicalthriller
Chris, thank you so much for this review. Now I am going to have to get this book. This is a genre I love reading and it sounds like I can learn a few things about writing as I read (if I can let myself dissect it–may take two reads). Will have to check out her first book too.

Our American History
I love this country. I was born here and I will die here. It isn't perfect. Boy, it seems that in the last fifteen years or so the hostility factor has escalated to the point that many people are afraid to watch the news and don't want to leave their homes. Have we not had [...]

So prioritize the writing! Make time for yourself and resist all the tempting opportunities your wily brain can come up with. Even washing the kitchen floor can look attractive if you want to avoid getting down to work.

Scripture (the Authorized King James Bible, written centuries ago) says a lot about our society today. Imagine that! There is a book [...]
Teens Need Help
A friend suggested I look up "The Crying Chair" online. I wondered what it could possibly be about. My curiosity was definitely piqued. I am a die-hard Baptist, King James only (not New King James, but the Authorized King James as translated in 1611 by King James I of England. It's not that I'm a [...]
