Deadline Book Giveaway

It’s been a couple of months since we’ve given away a fiction book, so I’m excited to let you know that in October we’re giving away three copies of Randy’s novel Deadline.

His body hung suspended between two friends – his soul between two worlds.

Doc’s shoulder jammed into Jake as he swerved the Suburban sharply to the right, cut between a telephone pole and a billboard, then careened into a ten-foot high embankment. Sometime between the sound of Doc’s last cry and the sickening crunch of bent metal from the car’s first ...

“Three Winners” Book Giveaway of the Month: Deception

This month we’re giving away Randy’s murder mystery novel Deception to three randomly drawn winners.

Those who have read Randy’s previous novels Deadline and Dominion might remember Ollie Chandler, Deception’s main character, as the gruff yet lovable cop who made an appearance in both books.

The Blessing of Gratitude, the Curse of Complaining

The child in this picture is NOT one of my grandchildren. But he pretty much captures what a lot of us, older and younger, behave like when we don’t get our way. (And have you noticed, we often DON’T get our way…which is actually good.)

Below IS my grandson, Tyler, who even though he is balancing on his head a log that weighs maybe four hundred pounds, maintains a cheerful demeanor. (Though he is feeling the weight on his eyelids.) I’m not bragging, but I’d like to see YOUR grandchild do this!

California Vacation and Deadline Movie Script Read-Through

Here’s a photo I took Saturday on Mount Lassen, at about 7,000 feet. The lake, the flowers, the sky—beauty popping up out of barrenness, all declaring God’s glory.

Many thanks to Sarah Anne Sumpolec and Ann Tatlock, whose thoughtful guest blogs on Harry Potter were the perfect follow-up to my blog about HP (which now has about 25 comments). We’re moving on now, so no one thinks Harry’s our main issue, which he’s not. But if you didn’t catch Ann’s blog, after Sarah’s, be sure you flip back and read ...
