Well, I think some people are very happy in retirement. And in a year and a half I'm going to see how happy I feel in retirement. I'm just going to not work quite so hard, but I'll continue to write as long as God gives me breath.

As long as you have any floor space at all, you have room for books! Just make two stacks of books the same height, place them three or four feet apart, lay a board across them, and repeat. Viola! Bookshelves!

Lord, make me a blessing to someone today

I live in a village where people still care about each other, largely.

Give me faith, Lord, to know Your Presence as surely as I know the beating of my own heart. I've felt so far from You.

Don't fear whatever God lays before you today.

And it can be a way of healing.
