Happy St. Patrick's Day

Have you read the first year, 2014, of the Holiday, USA series?

Tough Luck

The fourth novella in the series is finally here...

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and maybe a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Holiday's playboy, Brent Kelly, returns home a changed man, if only everyone would believe him. The First Annual Tough Luck Run offers him the opportunity to prove he turned over a new leaf.

Cindy Garvey has worked hard her whole life, and now she is preparing to move from employee to business owner with her best friend. The last thing she needs is one more surprise in her life.

God provides the way to Happily Ever After, no matter how far astray His children wander...

Favorite Book Friday

"Far Above Rubies" by George MacDonald is a love story. Born 10 December 1824, in Scotland, he passed away 18 September 1905, in England. As I read, I felt touched by a kindred spirit and couldn't help but wonder if we somewhere share the same family line. Reading his book was like coming home, finding a bit of myself in his words.

Unspoken is a Christian band. "Call It Grace" speaks to my heart:

Favorite Book Friday

Forget Paris (Love in Store series Book 4) by Autumn Macarthur Christian romance. I enjoy her stories. As you can see, I'm on book four of this series and have worked through several of another series. She also shares lovely memes, often Bible verses, on social media.

Musical Thursday

"Even If" by MercyMe, a favorite group, from the first song I remember hearing by them, "I Can Only Imagine."
