On Writing: Getting a Novella Out of Texas Life

Texas life and history provided the background for my first novella. If you haven’t heard about The Dogtrot Christmas novella as part of A Log Cabin Christmas Collection, you can read about it here. That collection went on to the New York Times bestseller’s list the week it released. But where did I get the story and how? I was…

The Bittersweet Humility of a Published Book

Several years ago I sat in my rocking chair to “have it out with God.”  I was tired of talking about writing and trying to write a book. I needed to know if this desire to write was from God, or was something I only wished was from God. I was willing to set it aside and do something else–getting…

Nicaragua: A Pleasure to Serve

So, when all was said and done, why did we go to Nicaragua in July 2011? We went out of service to our God and the same Jesus who talked about bringing sight to the blind and restoring the people. We brought 500 Bibles to a community with few books. And we gave away over 1300 pair of reading and…

Nicaragua History, the Lost Canal, and Glorious Sunsets

What do you know about Nicaragua history? I was a young adult in the 1980’s and while busy with other things, knew something was going on in Nicaragua concerning guerillas in the jungle and agitation in government. I knew Iran-Contra had something to do with funding but was never really sure which side was which. I knew the name Daniel…

Nicaragua: La comida (food) es muy bien!

So, how was the food in Nicaragua? What would you feed your family and guests if the closest grocery store was two hours up the river? Keeping food cold is always a challenge and insects are waiting the next opportunity to invade–even leaf-eating ants might make a foray into the cleanest kitchen. If ovens are hard to come by, how…

Nicaragua Animals: Enter the Animals

Everyone wants to know if we saw unusual Nicaragua animals or birds. Upon arrival at Sabalos Lodge on the Rio San Juan, the two teenage boys on our team began hunting caiman–small alligators that live in the area. They had a catching device that snatched the small creatures on the neck and they managed to pull one out of the…
