Peering Through Life's Window

Photo Ai Generated My wish for you comes from my favorite Irish blessing. “May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand.” Who was Saint Patrick? Find out here and get the recipe for Irish Cream Brownies I’m excited to announce my new release, Dangerous Detour, Discipleship Series Book Two .

I can remember Jesus‘s words “love one another as I have loved you“ from when I was very, very young. I was fortunate enough to live right down the street from a Catholic school, which I attended for eight years, from grades one through eight. During that time we were instructed by the Sisters of the Cross and Passion. T...

A Warm Welcome to Terri Gillespie Terri will give away a print copy of Sweet Rivalry (U.S. residents only). To enter to win leave a comment and an email address below. Hi Terri, first, tell us a little about yourself. Were you an avid reader as a child? As a child and through my teenage years, I struggled with learning disabilities, so you wouldn’t think I would love books. But I did. The smell, the feel of the cover and pages, seeing them on a bookshelf.  Going to the library was an adventure. I entered with hope that there would be that special book that I could completely read, fully understand. But when it was time to return them, none had been read, or finished. More than anything I wanted to read them through. Not just the first few pages over and over again, but all the way to the end. Having a vivid imagination, I wrote in my head what the story could be about. If I read enough of the story, I could figure it out, mostly. It wasn’t until my younger sisters were born that I...

A Warm Welcome to Erin Stevenson Erin will give away an e-Book or a print book (U.S. residents) of Sisters Ever After. Winner's choice.   To enter to win leave a comment and an email address below. Hi Erin, first, tell us a little about yourself. I’m Erin, just a child of the King. I have four grown children and three grands. I live in central Iowa and enjoy puttering in my yard, which mostly equates to pulling weeds. My secret indulgence is regular M & Ms.  Were you an avid reader as a child? If so, what did you read? I read everything that was appealing to a child of the 60s. When the teacher unpacked the Scholastic book order each month, she gave each child their 2-3 books and then handed the box with the remaining dozen+ books to me.  Tell us about your latest book. This book is called Sisters Ever After and is very close to my heart. Without giving away anything, it’s a story about learning to trust God’s timing. Two people meet under circumstances that pit them...

Hi Pat, first, tell us a little about yourself.  During the past fifty-plus years my high-school-sweetheart husband and I have struggled and triumphed through life’s peaks and valleys. We raised a son and a daughter and welcomed four grandchildren into our family. One precious granddaughter lives with the angels. We adore spending time with our family.  Sixteen years ago, Tim and I retired the same day, me from a twenty-seven-year corporate career with an international beauty company. We bought a Corvette, finished decorating our home, and checked off every item on our travel bucket list. Now I’m pursuing career number two as an author and proving it’s never too late to follow your dreams.  Many writers were avid readers as children. How about you? If so, what did you read? I remember visiting ...

A Warm Welcome to Pamela Thibodeaux Pamela will give away a review PDF. To enter to win leave a comment and an email address below. Pamela Shares A Devotional, What are YOU Chasing? Many times we chase after the things of this world, running to those chattels we think can make us happy…money, drugs, alcohol, sex. We seek after success, thinking it’ll fulfill us…recognition, fame, wealth. We run to people to heal our hearts and bind our wounds instead of running to the One who died to set us free; instead of chasing after the One who took our infirmities and bore our sins in His own flesh; the One upon whose shoulders was the chastisement of our peace. My dear brothers and sisters, this is not how it should be! Jesus is the only thing that can fill all the empty spots in our hearts; the only One who can make us whole; the only prize worth chasing after! So, let us pray.....Father, in the precious holy name of Jesus, we cry out to You.  From the bottom of our hear...
