HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. I woke up a week before Christmas with a stiff neck that wouldn’t move in any direction, but was so grateful when it loosened up in time to fly to spend a week with family at Christmas. We missed the snow back home, but we enjoyed a white Christmas wherever we went the last three years at Christmas. So I can’t complain.

Most of all, I pray that the celebration of “CHRIST-mas” this year brought you closer in your relationships with Jesus, family, and others. It’s been such a joy to connect with so many of you through the last few years in this blog, and I look forward to another year of sharing encouragement from God’s heart and mine.

In case you missed some of my blogs last year, here is a list of my Top 10 Posts of 2012: Read more

It’s time for a new book giveaway. I’ve accumulated quite a few good books in the last few years, so I’ll be giving away multiple books occasionally–to make room for others. :-)

Some of these are oldies, but goodies. In other words, they were not necessarily published in 2012, but each book is new. I know the authors, and I’ve enjoyed their books. I hope you will, too! Today’s giveaway includes a novel, a novella, and a non-fiction Christmas book. Read more
