All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

Christian stories of broken souls finding God and romance Jesus never promised a life of sweetness and nice; He promises hope. The weakest flame is stronger than the dark.

Favorite Book Friday
Undercurrents (Book 1) by Traci Hunter Abramson suspense romance. This is the 20th Anniversary edition, with updated covers and minor editorial changes. Yes, I had both books side by side, checking. Good changes, tightening and improving points of view. It meant more to me as I work on improving my own books. By the way, the changes are in the paperback edition only.

Favorite Book Friday
Wedding a Warrior by Hannah Conway inspirational romance. This novella includes discussion questions at the end that are a little different from most. I liked them as the questions focused more on the reader rather than the story.

Leap Day!
Celebrate with a story.
Leap of Faith Day
The ninth novella in the series is here...
Welcome back to
Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except
holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.
Her
life a mess, EMT Belle Carlisle wants a fresh start. She's lived in
Holiday a few years and likes it well enough. She's happy, mostly. 'Be
Bold' is her personal aphorism, but it was never intended to include
asking a man on a date.
Born and raised in Holiday, Vince Timmons
is certain the prettiest EMT on the planet could never be interested in
a younger man. Besides, his life is a mess. Not to mention the woman he
pursued for over a year humiliated him in public. The last thing he
needs is to fall for another woman who doesn't want him.
Man looks on the outward appearance and judges accordingly. God looks on the heart...
