Favorite Book Friday

Flee from Evil (Water's Edge Book 1) by Connie Almony Christian Suspense romance. A page turner. She tackled a difficult topic, forgiveness. It mostly tied up at the end, but a few things were left for the next book.

Monday Quote

Light, no matter how dim, always disperses the dark. 

You don't need to be a 1,000 watt bulb. 

Be a flickering candle.

In the book, Mr. Ballard lists a number of organizations that are involved in the battle. Choose one.

Musical Thursday

The movie and the music of "Beyond the Mask" are keepers.

Monday Quote

Posted on social media:

I threw in the towel…

God threw it back

and said,

“Wipe your face.

You’re almost there.”

I have to keep in mind that His definition of “almost there” is a bit sketchy.

Happy New Year!

 Need a quick escape?

Happy New Year?

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

Officer Tim Black moved to Holiday for a change of scene. He never anticipated wanting to change his single status at the same time, but the lady refuses to even date him.

Sandy Foster moved to Holiday to escape her dysfunctional family, changing everything about her life. Finding someone who wanted to share her life holds a never-ending spot on her uninspiring list of New Year's resolutions.

The tiniest misunderstanding and the willingness to set pride aside might make the difference between spending the New Year alone and a Happily Ever After...
