My dad was a runner. Nothing elite just his chosen

My dad was a runner. Nothing elite just his chosen form of exercise. He inspired me to try it out and - ooof - running isn’t easy. It requires perseverance. When I had the chance to run a 5k with my dad, I did. He ran faster than me and during the race he double backed so he could keep pace with me. “Come on, let’s go,” he said. So I pushed forward and finished.

His running prepared him for the perseverance to fight Alzheimer’s. While diagnosed several years ago, our family joined him in this race. We held his hand and encouraged him to keep going. There were days when I wanted to quit, but his smile reassured me that he was okay and to press on.

At the end, he ran hard to Jesus, persevering. Now he’s running on streets of gold, free from the disease.

He loved us all so well and there were no regrets. Nothing left unsaid. He taught me to love and to laugh and those same traits I’m carrying forward.

Thank you, Dad, for a beautiful life.

“…let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus…” Hebrews 12:1-2

Today was my annual Jane Austen day. While I was getting squished, I kept thinking about a fellow writer friend who went in for her routine squishing with no concerns. And lo and behold, they found something. October is breast cancer awareness month. Go and get squished! #breastcancerawareness #breastcancerawarenessmonth #janeausten #girlpower

I’m happy to share @pepperbasham latest release

I’m happy to share @pepperbasham latest release Hope Like Wildflowers, a historical romance set in the Appalachia mountains. For those of you who know Pepper, she lives in Asheville, NC which was affected by the hurricane. She’s okay and safe and providing updates on her situation.

I was blessed to spend time recently with Pepper in New Orleans at the ACFW conference. She took the time to share her rocky publishing journey with me as I’ve faced discouragement this year in my writing journey. She is a gem!! Her title is appropriate as she has faced personal crises and is currently sharing about the hope in Jesus while recovering from the hurricane challenges.

The last piece of the ACFW Conference I want to sh

The last piece of the ACFW Conference I want to share about is the people. Old friends and new friends, the people I’ve met on this journey are such blessings. This has been a roller coaster year and it was amazing to have friends provide encouragement and a stranger grab my hand and say, “I’m going to pray for you right now.” Thanks to everyone pictured here and who I didn’t get pictures with. Your kindness will be remembered.
