Brain Dump

Earth Day was last Saturday. A holiday to celebrate environmentalists. Yes, you read that right. It isn't to celebrate the earth but environmentalists. And here's the disturbing kicker: It was created by a man who murdered his girlfriend and composted her. Should we really be celebrating someone so depraved? From what I understand, there's been no repentance. I've watched the evil perpetrated by environmentalists, not to be confused with conservationists. I try not to celebrate evil.

Brain Dump

Interesting bit of information I picked up and never heard of before: It's estimated that more men were lost to smallpox than battle during the Revolutionary War. George Washington contracted it when he lived in Barbados and survived, thus protecting him during the war with natural immunity.

30Operation Midnight (Cutter's Code Book 1) by Justine Davis suspense romance. I'm waiting for book 15 to be delivered; it's late, and I hope not lost. Her Redstone Incorporated series hooked me first. I've been a fan ever since and collected all her books. I love her characters. She also understands abuse in a way that spoke to me.

Good Friday

The end for which the first was made. 

The disciples only knew their Beloved Master was brutally killed. 

To them it's the end of the world. 

They don't understand that Sunday is coming...

Are you ready for Easter?

Celebrate with a story.

The Blessing Basket 

The thirteenth novella in the series... 

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God. 

Cici, Candy Crothers, lies to everyone, except her Holiday Diner boss, only because he informed her if she lied to him he'd fire her. She ran away from an ugly past and still worries it might catch up to her. Sharing her nightmares is nowhere on her list of things to do, ever. 

Trace Brown left the Army honorably but not unscathed. Anger controls his life, holding him back from pretty much everything, including becoming a chef at Holiday Diner. The diner's head hostess intrigues him, but not enough to risk sharing his day-to-day battle with PTSD. 

Nothing can drive God away. His hand is stretched out still. He is always there, waiting...

Rule #1: Stop lying, especially to yourself. Before baby became a word, the term was fetus, in Latin. Fetus = Baby It's a baby.
