I apologize for how brief this blog is, but I know you’ll understand. My granddaughter Rainy is having surgery tomorrow and that is holding my focus right now. The doctors have been perplexed by her situation and plan an exploratory surgery. I would definitely appreciate prayers for the doctors and for the family. But most of all, I ask for …

Where is God when bad things happen? So many tragedies have gone on around me, and I’m sure in your own life, over the last few weeks, and so often I’ve heard people comment about where is God when these things happen? Or why does God allow this in the life of His children – the very ones who have …

Hello from sunny, but not too hot, Montana. I took a couple of weeks off to tend to homefires, but now I’m back.  At least for a little while. Montana is enjoying warm weather, but low humidity, unlike most of the rest of the country. I’ve decided to invite you all to come up and enjoy our wonderful summer. First …

This morning I awoke from a dream in which the Lord was saying to me, “Stop trying to fight battles that have already been won.” Talk about something to chew on all day. Today, amidst finishing the final touches on my latest manuscript and getting it turned into the publisher; I thought long and hard about what the Lord was …

My grandkids are a constant reminder to me that there are reasons to be in this world and to continue the good fight. In May we nearly lost Rainy – yes again. She’s had another surgery and another birthday (her 9th) and we celebrate and praise God for her. Fox is doing well and going strong. He’s an amazing kid. …

It’s so good to be home again and back to the routine. Before I close out my book tour related blogs, however, I wanted to share just a few interesting moments.

So we’re on our final week of the booktour and we’ve had a great time. I’ve met some of the neatest folks. Here are a few photos from our days on the road. This is Erika and she was so sweet. She came rushing in at the close of the signing having just gotten off work. And this is our …

So we’ve had a nice time in Boston. This is a wonderful town in which to do research. I’m trying to learn all I can as I search for story ideas. The history here is so rich and the old buildings quite enticing. We have toured the Museum of Fine Arts and enjoyed not only the great old pieces, but …

Well we’re heading into our 3rd week on the book tour! This week we get to spend time with our daughter Jen and see her graduate from Harvard and hopefully I’ll have some photos next week. This last week we finished up with Minneapolis – thankfully before the tornadoes hit, but we have been praying big time for all the …

I’m having a great time on the booktour. I’ve met so many wonderful people and have very much enjoyed getting to share with them why I write and how much I love the Lord. We battled the waterlogged areas of eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota. I hope you’ll continue to pray for those folks. They are quite desperate to …
