Kathie Lee [Gifford] invited me to come to New York for lunch with her - and surprised with an unexpected shout out again for One Thousand Gifts on the show and graciously asked a few questions on camera. Indebted to her and the people who read and looked for Jesus in the pages and shared the hope and joy of Him - right where they are.

The Word God wastes nothing and He heals two broken hearts with one story - the reader and the writer.

When we know Christ, we always know how things are going to go...always for our good and always for His glory.

The book [ One Thousand Gifts] took just over a year to write, on the fringe hours, early and late, around home educating 6 kids and farming and blogging.

Joy and pain, they are but two arteries of the one heart that pumps through all those who don't numb themselves to really living.

God is good and I am always loved.

God appoints people who do disappoint - to point to a God who never disappoints.
