I don’t know how it happened. I really don’t. Somehow, when I wasn’t looking, this first grandson of mine managed to turn five years old, swiffed his blonde hair to one side, and knocked on the doors of kindergarten. Gone are the days of painting at grandma’s and singing songs at the library together. Gone […]
One of the most marvelous things about becoming an author is what happens next. And it’s marvelous because what might happen is totally unpredictable. Time after time in this publishing journey, I have seen the principle of Ephesians 3:20 at work in my life. And don’t you just LOVE how The Message Bible puts it? God can […]
Here we go friends…. beginning this week I’m embarking on a virtual tour with my newest book, Christmas Love Letters from God. Each week leading up to Christmas, I’ll be featured on eight different blogs where I’ll be taking part in author interviews, sharing ideas for creating Christmas traditions, and hosting a book giveaway at […]
So my husband said something from the pulpit that bothered me. Don’t get me wrong…. his sermons are great (okay, I’m a little biased). He was talking about where we find God and how, with the advent of Facebook, we’re able to share our precious God-given moments with the world. Our sweet granddaughter in Portland, […]

How exciting for me to participate in a tour for the release of Little Love Letters from God from the comfort of my own home! This week’s stop in the virtual world is with Jenn, a homeschooling mom of eight! (Did you know that I’m one of eight too?) Jenn blogs at Treasuring Life’s Blessings, where she agreed to […]
To celebrate the release of Little Love Letters from God, I get to go on tour…without ever leaving my home! For the next six weeks, I’ll be making stops at eight different websites…visiting with authors and pastors, home-schooling moms and children’s ministers…. wonderful colleagues who will help to launch my newest title, from now until […]
If you are looking for a wonderful Christmas book for your little ones, look no further than Goodnight, Manger, the newest release from children’s book author and poet, Laura Sassi. In this adorable book, it’s bedtime for baby Jesus, but who knew a stable could be so loud? Mama, Papa, and all of the animals try […]
When I was a little girl I was a thief. I used to steal from my big brother. I couldn’t resist. I knew that hiding in his brown wooden wardrobe was a stash of sweets. I would creep into his room while he was at work. It didn’t take me long to find them. If […]
