Debunking that Bible meme….or not
Today a good friend messaged me and asked if I had seen the latest meme that's going around social media about the Bible missing verses. She asked if I knew whether it was true or not. I honestly thought it would be a thirty second task to debunk it and call it fake news. What I found was completely unexpected.

Wisdom and the Tongue….
Though I spend time daily studying the Bible, I rarely choose to share it. In my mind, those are God’s words and lessons for me, not necessarily for others. I hate the idea that I might start to sound preachy. But sometimes something really resonates and I feel like it might touch someone else. This week I had one of those moments.

The Year of Open Doors
According to the Jewish calendar, this is the year 5774 and it’s considered the year of the open door. Though the Jewish year started in September with Rosh Hashana, things have begun a dramatic upswing for me since January. First, I’m working on a screenplay. I can’t say a great deal about it but I can say that it’s already got a tentative start date for production – so that’s exciting! Next, my business has expanded enough to add my husband to the staff. So now instead of my marketing company, it’s a family venture. This has opened up incredible doors for the business to expand all the way around.…

God’s doing a new thing and He doesn’t want you to miss it!
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. – Isaiah 43:19 I’m not a theologian by any stretch of the imagination. I love God’s word. As a writer and a book reviewer, it’s not surprising that I love words. The Bible is rife with gorgeous stories and word pictures. If you haven’t read it, even if you aren’t a Christian, you should give it a try. The Psalms, the prophets, the history…it’s amazing. But sharing this love of God’s word with my kids hasn’t always been as easy as…

Biblical Messages in Iron Man 3
A friend and I were talking recently about trends in entertainment and I brought up the idea of broken heroes. When I was a kid, I remember idolizing characters on the big and small screens. I played Wonder Woman and Princess Leia on a pretty regular basis. These were people I wanted to emulate because they nearly always saved the day. Even the highly tortured and abused Sam Beckett of Quantum Leap (yup, I’m a Leaper!) who was thrust into the heroic spotlight, still managed to push all of that aside and do what needed to be done. In recent years though, a lot of time has been spent covering…

Do you know who I am?
Recently Reese Witherspoon made national headlines when, during a drunk driving arrest, she asked the police officer that question. She threatened that he would be all over the news if he arrested her and guess what? She was right. Just not in the way she had imagined. Instead of everyone rolling their eyes at the police officer and his actions, the entire country was rolling their eyes at Reese. Suddenly you’re in damage control mode. I admit that I rolled my eyes when I read Reese’s story. In the course of my career I’ve had the opportunity to work with a variety of ‘celebrities’ and I’ve been on the receiving…
