Merry Mary’s Bakery

Do you hear that? No that sound is not crickets, it’s the tip tapping of a keyboard! I’ve been taking time to write some fiction. I thought I’d share a little with you all on why fiction. But first, you can snag the first of three resurrection stories right now on Amazon. Merry Mary’s Bakery is available for $5 print or kindle (https://amzn.to/3L438GC )

Okay, so why fiction? I love a good work of non-fiction but sometimes it’s easier to share something using the third person. Mary’s story has a lot of pain and suffering in it, some of which I’ve personally experienced and all of which I’ve witnessed up close and personal. But I didn’t want to write a book that said definitively “here’s how to deal with your pain and suffering!!” Instead, I wanted to share a story, one that showed one way of dealing with it and opened up the imagination to what those possibilities could be in your own life. Is Mary’s story successful in that attempt? I don’t know but it is what my desire for her story is. And it opened up the reality of expressing lessons from scripture that aren’t flannelgraph-esque in their nature. So I’m planning on writing more. Mary’s story introduced me to some other characters that needed their stories told. If you need me, I’ll be over here tip tapping.

Sweet Caroline by Kelda Poynot

First off, my copy of Sweet Caroline (aff link) is not a gifted review book, I spent my well earned Amazon No-Rush Rewards money on this book. Second of all, this is not my standard close door kind of romance. Third of all, this is a really fun read. Caroline is a hard working young lady that is doing all that she can to make ends meet and to get her graduate degree. Part of that work is renting out the room above her garage. When she answers the phone of an unknown number, believing it's a future tenant, she has no idea how much her life is about to change. The young man on the other end of that call, Hashim, is tall, dark, and mysterious in all the right ways. The story quickly moves from the girl next door falling for a stranger to a fight for their lives. And in true real life fashion, those fights aren't just with external enemies but the ones we carry within. It's an entertaining story of Caroline and Hashim, discovering their love for each other and fighting to

Project 52: Good Friday is low key

We had a wonderful Holy week, full of celebrations, one of my favorites was the Good Friday celebration. But it was emotionally and physically draining. By the time that evening rolled around, we weren't up for much of anything. We ended up having a game night on our bed with crackers, cheese and salami. It was fun, we played cribbage, and In a Pickle (which we determined is not for two people with little to no brain power). I'm looking forward to this Friday because Joel is off the entire week, which should mean more energy and maybe something creative!

Loving Disagreement by Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos

If you're human, which I'm assuming you are if you found your way here, there will come a moment in your life when you're right and they're wrong and you're going to have to not win because the relationship is more important than your rightness It might be over where to go to dinner, which type of coat to wear for the weather, what ever it may be, you're going to find yourself there. Khang and Mikalatos have got together and written Loving Disagreement for that exact moment, especially if that exact moment isn't occurring with a loved one but with someone you encountered on the internet or maybe the break room at work, the where and who don't really matter because we can be loving towards anyone, even when we're not in relationship with the offending person. The book uses the concept of the fruit of the spirit to go through different ways to handle conflict. Khang and Mikalatos take turns writing the meat of each section but there's a quite enj
