My friend, Deborah Malone, compiled a book of devotionals, Bloom in Your Winter Season.

To Celebrate Deborah’s New Book, I’ll give away a Kindle copy of Hair Calamities and Hot Cash to a U.S. resident. To enter leave a comment and your email address and enter the Rafflecopter contest.

The book features twenty-three contributing authors, including yours truly.

Deborah says, “Ladies there is good news for you! God did not stamp an expiration date on our foreheads. Just ask the “seasoned” women from the Bible if God used them – Sarah, Miriam, and Naomi are just a few he used in mighty ways.

Bloom in Your Winter Season will introduce you to many more women who were still active in ministry during their mature years. After discovering these women’s journeys during their winter seasons, you will find that He can and will use you too, and learn to become a Winter Warrior for God.

What Others Are Saying

Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author says, “With insight and spiritual maturity, Deborah Malone reveals we can bloom in our winter season.

From the depths of her own life’s experiences, Deborah Malone teaches us that God can use our most challenging seasons to bring him glory. Bloom in Your Winter Season will remind you that there is no expiration date on God’s plan for our life. Babbi Mason, Singer, Author, Speaker. Babbi.com

“The winter season for believers in Christ is one of reflection and great wisdom. Bloom in Your Winter Season is a beautiful offering of God’s wisdom hidden among the lives of women in the Bible. The individual studies contrast lives of these wise women of the Word and offer a unique perspective to women of faith today. Deborah Malone has created a study that inspires and builds a woman’s faith and hope in God. The winter season is beautiful.

Looking Out the Window: Memories on the Heart

Several weeks ago my husband, Rick, and I ate at a restaurant we frequent fairly regularly. The cute, young waitress who usually waits on us took our orders for burgers and fries. I’ll call her Mandy. As usual Mandy’s smile and bubbly personality brightened our day. We giggled and confessed to her that we shouldn’t eat the fries, but we were going to do it just this once. She joked. “Okay, you’re being bad today.” Not long after we got our food a couple came in and sat in the booth behind us. Mandy walked up to the table with her big grin. “Hi, how are you?” she asked. The man, who had salt and pepper colored hair and a pudgy face, spoke in a harsh tone, “I want the steak.” “Sure, which one would you like?” Mandy asked. “I don’t want you to put it in the microwave. That will make it tough. Do you understand?” Mandy’s lips turned down. “Yes sir, which one do you want to order?” “I want it medium rare. I don’t want blood oozing out of it. I want it cooked right.” “Yes sir, which steak di...

Looking out the Window: Carol Wilson James Talks about Her New Christmas Book, Christmas Lights and Moonlit Nights. Tells Us How to Make A Travelling Grilled Cheese Sandwich

A Warm Welcome to Carol Wilson James Hi Carol, I can't wait to hear about your new book and the sandwiches. Thanks for sharing with us. To receive a FREE short story sign up for Carol's newsletter The Traveling Grilled Cheese Because my dad was a career military officer, the longest we ever lived in one place was three years. And when the Air Force said “Move,” we moved. Sixty years ago, there weren’t fast food restaurants or grocery stores open twenty-four hours a day. So my mom had to figure out how to feed the family when nothing was open and she had no stove. Thus, she made "Ironed Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.” (To this day, my brother chooses these over a standard grilled cheese.) Ingredients Bread, cheese, butter, aluminum foil, and your iron. Heat your iron. Rub one side of a piece of foil with butter. Fold it in half, buttered sides together. Make a cheese sandwich. Insert your sandwich between the buttered sides of the foil (like a taco)...
