It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Book Day

I have done nothing productive today and am fine with that. I finished reading Ticktock by Dean Koontz one of my favorite authors. I love how he mixes genres with wild abandon and makes it work! Would that I could write with the ease and flow he manages to intimate.

Another favorite author is James Patterson and am especially fond of the "Women's Murder Club" series as well as the novels featuring Detective Alex Cross. Sometimes Patterson team writes and some of those novels cross my line for foul language and shock value. Also, those tend to sacrifice good tight writing and story line for sensationalism that does not quite ring true.

As you see, I love a good mystery, but more than that. Agatha Christi hasn't captured me yet. I don't think she's quite weird enough for me. I like a bit of zany, other worldliness mixed in with my who-done-it reads, oh, and don't forget romance - NOT LUST OR SEX, BUT ROMANCE!

I loved the Left Behind series and This Present Darkness but sad to say, not many Christian authors put out mystery stuff I enjoy reading. I am praying God will anoint some in that area.

Well, I need to go match and fold sox. Richard will be home soon and I want a fun evening with him. We're one day behind on our Bible study. Who know how that happened. I have forgotten yesterday already.
