Everything started here
I started writing on a blog called 29 Lincoln Avenue sixteen years ago. The name for my first blog came from the street address of the home I grew up in a small town in Southern Indiana. I loved the idea of inviting you into my “blog home” every week.
It was through learning to write and create content there (and then here) that I discovered my love for words and my voice as a writer. When I started, Twitter and Facebook were the rage and blogging found a unique place that would be writers (like me) were able to practice publishing more than a handful of words at at time.
Through blogging I started writing books. I am eternally grateful for that opportunity to put something more of my heart in the hands of those who are bookish by nature.
But even with Instagram, youTube, and every other social media option out there—I still love to add a few words here.
And I suspect I always will.

Sometimes the Right Response is Silence
Maybe like me you have noticed the world seems to be raging and quaking. You read social media and watch the news. You think about it when you drink your morning coffee and you pray. You may ask yourself the question, "Should I speak up? Do I need to add my voice to...

What I Wore

He is Mindful of You
I have a deep affection for the book of Hebrews. I found myself in a pit years ago and when I reached the very bottom Jesus was there . What He breathed into my heart was his message of hope found in this New Testament book without an author to claim it. Works out...
What I Wore
