It’s a Dog Gone World
Let’s finish this tale (pun intended). To read Part I of the Hound from Hell, visit here. Is He a Nice Doggy? As he approached the last barrier I was a little nervous but because this was the main fence separating the property from the road, I wasn’t yet in full panic in that’s where…

Shades of Grey and a Hound from Hell

An Interview with Lexie Baltimore, Part 2
Welcome back, everyone! Here's the second half of Lexie's interview. Okay, here’s a tough one, Lexie and I hope you don’t mind us asking, but I think it’s an area we should address. How did you wind up handling your feelings for Nate? First of all, I went to God and confessed them. I had…

An Interview with Lexie Baltimore, Part 1
My friends, I had a lot of fun (and shed a few tears) doing this interview with Lexie. You spend months and even years with these characters and they become almost real. I thought you’d like to see the picture I used to help me visualize Lexie too. So, without further ado, here’s Lexie. Lexie,…

Submit To Your Husband. You Win in the End

So let’s have some real and honest talk about God’s intention of this passage and let’s take it a step further. Can you submit to…

Winning Him Without Words
As I prepare this post, Dineen and I (Lynn) are utterly humbled. All of you know we are just ordinary gals. Yet, we serve the most extraordinary God. Out of His rich kindness and desire to help others, God has allowed us to take our stories and put them into a book so we can…
