Are You Going to Continue This Craziness?

I was struggling this morning—again—with the call God has put on my life and writing compared to the paltry-seeming effectiveness of my daily efforts. My hubby, as usual, was very supportive; praying, rubbing my back, letting me vent, etc. As he was praying, God brought to mind Abraham and the promise that “I will make […]

Are You Really?

I love the work of Dr. Lee A. Simpson, a local preacher.  Here’s another insight I got from his teachings. In another one of those three-minutes-that-change-everything moments on Sunday, my new favorite preacher threw this little challenge at me: “When you say you are over something or that you believe something… Satan will always come […]

One Night With a Rock Star (Chapter One)

Here’s a sneak peek at something that’s been simmering since 2005. Enjoy!

*****************

    Prologue

  

As I walk toward the elaborate, new-brick home, a sense of gloom descends. Throughout my childhood this property was abandoned and ignored but I had reveled in that fact since it meant no one took notice of the frequent visits of a certain freckled tomboy with big dreams.

Novel Prompted By a Dream

“One Night With A Rock Star” will always hold a special place in my heart since it represents those heady days when I fell passionately in love with writing. 

In the summer of 2005, I woke from a dream involving a favorite singing star and a much younger me.

Why Did I Write an Equal-Opportunity Offender?

 Because God told me to.

There, I said it.

When the revelations in morning-prayer time began to roll in July of 2007, I didn’t even have a novel in mind. In fact, it was taking away from the time I usually spent writing novels. Furthermore, I didn’t think I’d be able to tell anyone about the crazy thoughts that were making scripture light up like a switchboard.

 

I Have a Dream

God has to stretch my limited viewpoint, and often He uses dreams to do this. Take my ability to intercede for those who seem to have it all. I guess it was time for some stretching.

The Most Dangerous, Harmful Belief

If we come to the Bible without a heart that is fully convinced of God’s overwhelming love that truly wishes none to perish, then many scriptures will seem to underscore our belief that some are born evil and some are born good—or rather that some are redeemable and some are not.

This has been one of the, if not THE, most harmful doctrines in history.
