At the Beach!

In our family, there's a chorus that we often sing together...

🎜🎝At the beach...that's where I want to be.🎜🎝

At the beach...Baby, come go with me!

🎜🎝

And here I am!

I wish you were walking along beside me!

Almost there!! 

Oh my goodness!! Doesn't God's creation astound you??? It does me!

This morning I strolled along the sand beside those rolling waters singing praise to Him!

I'm so in awe of His goodness and glory!

Here's another little glimpse at His goodness....

Gracie, Grover, and Grandy Groundhog Go to Elevation!

Author Visits are among my favorite things! Elevation Church is among my favorite churches!

Put the two together and it's a winning combination!

The icing on this bookish cake is that 2 of my grandbabies were there to assist!

This handsome little man introduced Grandy Groundhog and me to his classmates!

They were totally adorable and such amazing listeners!

Then this beauty, my firstborn grand, introduced us to her friends!

Wow! They were incredible! So attentive and with such thoughtful questions!

Surely some future writers there!

Because both groups were so engaged, they got to use their imaginations as I read the manuscript for my upcoming book...Gracie & Grover Go to the Beach! 

God's goodness and grace truly is amazing! I'm so thankful for the opportunities He showers and the groundhoggy blessings He provides!

It's Almost Here...Groundhog Day is February 2!!

What a blessing to have so many opportunities to share the story of Christmas through the eyes of Gracie and Grover Groundhog!

Here's a little peek at the fun!

What a joy to visit with FBCM Weekday School!

Storytime at the Faith UMC Christmas Bazaar was full of Christmas delights!

Santa was there!! And one of his best elves!!

It's always fun to make new friends!

I hope your Christmas was most merry and that your new year is off to a wonderful start!

NC Christian Writers Conference was Amazing!!

Oh how I love writers conferences!! NCCWC did not disappoint! Incredible teaching, inspiration (like a revival for writers), an atmosphere that propelled new friendships to form, business connections to be made, and experiences to treasure and motivate writers to follow the dream God placed in our hearts! What a blessing!

This conference was held at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Liberty, NC. You won't find a finer group of people than the ones in this congregation! Their heart for service was unparalleled! And oh, do they love their pastor, Andy Clapp. And that precious man of God was serving his heart out. Even his children ministered to the faculty and writers in attendance. They sure deserved a little book treat!

Aren't they just adorable!?!

Many thanks to Serious Writer, NC Christian Writers Conference, and Mt. Zion Baptist Church!
