Seven Deadly Sins for Writers: #6 – Gluttony

Some people eat to live. Some people live to eat. I’m a card-carrying member of the latter crowd. Yes, as I sit here with the seven extra pounds I packed on over the holidays I recently ate my way through, I have no doubt about which of these people I am. My pastor recently saidContinue reading “Seven Deadly Sins for Writers: #6 – Gluttony”

Seven Deadly Sins for Writers #5 – Pride

  God opposes it. It comes before a fall. No, not that. Nope, not that either. This. Pride goes before destruction,     a haughty spirit before a fall. This is the deadly sin that set us in opposition to God, reigns in our hearts, fills us with sin, and takes us over the cliff. Pride can interfereContinue reading “Seven Deadly Sins for Writers #5 – Pride”

Seven Deadly Sins for Writers: #4 – Lust

I want it so bad I can taste it. I’m not sure exactly what getting a book published will taste like, but my dreams of that day are as sweet as chocolate, so I’m guessing something like a Milky Way.

One that never needs repairs since everything is always new.  Do you drink iceContinue reading “Whatcha doin’ in heaven today?”

Seven Deadly Sins for Writers: #3 – Envy

Osteoporosis and emerald iris pigmentation. These are the conditions that await me if I embrace this third Deadly Sin for Writers. A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot. Proverbs 14:30 O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-ey’d monster, which doth mock the meat it feedsContinue reading “Seven Deadly Sins for Writers: #3 – Envy”

Garage Makeover

Go ahead, call me crazy. Who makes over their garage, right? I won’t argue my sanity, but I did discover if you Google “garage makeover,” you will find some pretty intensive projects that are actually way more involved than mine. So, I feel a little better about my reaction when my husband suggested we spruceContinue reading “Garage Makeover”
