Angels
I've been thinking a lot about angels lately. There are a lot of books, websites, videos, fortune-telling cards, etc., out there--and angels are the subject. Some of these venues present angels as celestial bellhops, others practically advocate worshipping them. As a...
The Weekend
I had a great time in Silverdale and Seattle this weekend. I spoke and signed books at the beautiful new Barnes and Noble book store in Silverdale's Kitsap Mall, and got to see my good friend, Ruthanne Devlin, all too briefly.When the event was over, I was whisked...
Kevin as Chance
I'm still thinking about the movie, as you can see. Who could blame me?All the actors in "Last Chance Cafe" did a truly marvelous job. Kevin's performance, however, particularly moved me--and not just because he's cute. (Which, of course, he IS.) Kevin actually read...
From the Lake House!
I just spent my first night at Sanctuary, my lake retreat. Sadie and Bernice are still adjusting, and sticking pretty close. I plan to work on a book today, and frankly, I'm still coming down from seeing the wonderful production of my Lifetime TV movie, "Last Chance...
I LOVED IT!!!!!
I thought "Last Chance Cafe" was a slam-dunk winner, though of course I may be prejudiced!Kudos to:Josanne Lovick, a force of nature, and the person who brought this project from conception to airtime. You are a champ!Kevin Sorbo: Honey, you are easy on the eyes, and...
Tonight’s the Night!
I am over the moon with excitement! Tonight, I get to see my book, "The Last Chance Cafe", come alive on Lifetime TV! We're planning to dine on popcorn and champagne and, as the cowboys say, really whoop it up.I should be writing today, but the truth is, I just can't...

Snow!
Snow is falling again--as graceful as a benediction.
Yesterday
Yesterday was certainly an emotional one. We gathered, Laels and friends, to say good-bye to my uncle, Jack Lael. We will all miss him very much. He was a genuine cowboy, the real article. My cousins, Barbara Lynn, Becky and J.D. were all there to say farewell to...
Possible or Impossible?
A good friend emailed me this morning, asking where I would draw the line between possible and impossible. The answer came to me rather quickly, perhaps because I had just come from my prayer/journaling time.For me, this line lies inches from the feet of Jesus Christ....
The Last Chance Cafe
The movie got a mention on "Access Hollywood" last night, complete with a clip!I am delighted, of course. Remember to watch--Monday, November 13, six Pacific, nine eastern.I'm so eager to see that movie, I can hardly stand it. In the meantime, though, Mojo is waiting...
Jack “Jiggs” Lael
My Uncle Jack passed away a couple of days ago, and he will be sorely missed.I've written about my uncle before on this blog--he was a famous rodeo cowboy in his time, Elvis-handsome, and once won a contest for the best hard-luck story. This afforded him a trip to...
