I hope you all stay safe and be careful while around others. You never know who might be bringing that nasty little virus around. Since it’s a holiday, I thought I’d share a short video that tells the story of Labor Day from one of my favorite channels, the History Channel. I hope you enjoy. If you or someone you know needs prayer, leave a comment below, and I’ll add it to my prayer …
Seven Sisters Road It’s here!!! My new middle-grade ghost story available on Kindle and in print. Purchase it here for only $2.99: https://amzn.to/3gIZdiw In My Daughter’s Eyes All of us have done things in our past that we would like to change. Single mothers are a prime example of this.

I love it when I’m listening to a song or watching something on television and God is mentioned unexpectedly. That occurred the other day. When I’m working out, I like to listen to oldies rock. The other day, the song “Get Together” by The Youngbloods came on. Here are some of the lyrics that made me sit up straighter: “Some may come and some may go, We shall surely pass, When the one that left …
“Put the camera down and let’s play ball!” You were abused in your past. Hurt by someone you loved. Cheated on. Abandoned. These are all ways we lose our trust in others. It takes time to overcome these issues, even when it comes to trusting God. It’s hard to understand a God you call Father if your own father abused or abandoned you. Just know that God is nothing like any father here on Earth. …
I just wanted to share the book cover for the new middle-grade ghost story I have written with my daughter, Jessi Bain.

This pandemic has a lot of people afraid. I don’t mean those wearing masks, that right now might be common sense. I’m speaking of those who are so afraid of getting sick, they fear leaving their homes or allowing visitors for any reason. The best way to fight fear is not with the media, it’s with knowledge. I want to put things in perspective for you. This is a respiratory flu. If you have breathing …
I am so excited to find I was a finalist in the Silver Falchion this week for my book Fade to the Edge. However, in order to win, I need votes from readers. If you would take a minute and go to the website to vote, I would greatly appreciate it. The names are listed in alphabetical order by last name, so just look for the “B”s and you’ll find me. Thanks ahead of time. http://www.killernashville.com/machform/view.php?id=195206 Soothe …
This past week I read a news article where only positive tests for the Corona virus are being reported near Tampa, Florida. That means 100% results for the virus. When a journalist (apparently a true journalist because he wanted to know the truth) got suspicious, he discovered what was going on. Turns out if you add in the negative results, that 100% is closer to 9%. It’s hard enough to know what’s going on with …
My daughter moved out this past weekend. I never imagined how much stuff she had until we started packing boxes. While I hated to see her go, I think it was time, both for her to be on her own and for me to have my house back. Too often people hold on, not wanting change, but change is inevitable. And the more we stay in one spot, the more stagnate we become. We need …
I grew up in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s. First, let me apologize for disco. It was my generation’s fault. But overall, those two decades were music about peace, love, and understanding. While some protested against the US being in the Vietnam War, I can’t recall a song saying to go after soldiers (though some people did) or tear apart monuments and loot buildings. Instead, our songs had words like “War, what is it good for? …
