#2 of the 52 reveals
Happy Views Day! Last Tuesday, I posted my first of a year’s worth of, “Things You May Not Know About Me.” Today is #2 from “The Underside of a FROG’s Lily Pad.” My 5-year-old answer to, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” A kindergarten teacher (that was before I started babysitting…
Under the lily pad
Welcome to my latest adventure, Project Views Day. It’s a 52 week practice that invites me to become more courageous. Project Views Day was inspired by someone in my microscopic circle of friends who noticed how I’m guarded whenever people ask me anything more personal than my favorite season (hint: anytime it’s over 75 degrees)….
SLOW AND READY
The Lord said to his people: “You are standing at the crossroads. So consider your path. Ask where the old, reliable paths are. Ask where the path is that leads to blessing and follow it. If you do, you will find rest for your souls.” But they said, “We will not follow it!” (Jer. 6:16,…
Mindful Midwest Missions
I’m in the Midwest this summer on a mission trip and book promo tour. I’m promoting my latest release, “Knee Deep: A 9-Month Whirlpool of Handwritten Letters to the Creator” and three previous books (titles listed HERE). Tadpoles and Poetry Pod from the FROG Blog series are slated to publish this year. My book Unthawed…
AND THE PASSWORD IS…
Friday is my online marketing day. This morning, before work, I read James 4:13-James 5:5. The verse begins with not boasting about tomorrow, making plans, or making money. Marketing is my least favorite part of writing and owning two small businesses. God knows and supplies all my necessities, yet I need to wisely utilize resources….
BONUS!

I encourage you to check out the other talented authors who write a variety of genres. The bi-weekly FROG Blog will follow on Friday, Christina A Celebration of Independence… from Big Publishers |…
ROUTINE or RUT-INE?
“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people” (Col. 3:23 NLT). I’ve noticed when I allow myself to settle into comfortable patterns, I sometimes fall into ruts. My routine becomes “rut-tine” when I remove the “o” factor (“oh!”) Schedules and parameters are vital for harmony….

COMMITTED
Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established (Prov. 16:3). When I accepted my call to write for an Audience of One, I immersed myself in oceans of topics. I couldn’t swim fast enough to catch all inspirational waves. Ideas flowed, creativity flooded, and I wrote copious amounts of work. Writing…
