It's been over seven months since I posted on this blog. Life has been full and busy. Beginning at the end of March, my main goal was to recover from major surgery. With God's healing touch and physical therapy, I'm back to functioning and writing.
My "down" time afforded much opportunity to read. I highly recommend the five book series by Lynn Austin: Gods & Kings. These Biblical fiction tales deal with three of the kings of Judah: King Ahaz, King Hezekiah and King Manassah. Intriguing and well worth your time!
I also just finished a memoir by an author who contributes to the New York Times. "Mother Daughter Me" is a powerful story about loss and forgiveness. Author Katie Hafner shares about her relationships with her mother and her daughter with transparent grace. When divorce, alcoholism and abandonment impact a family, no one escapes unscathed. And yet, when hearts seek to understand and extend love, the impossible is possible.
Well, I've reached the half way mark on my memoir. It is a far more difficult task than I ever imagined!
Hopefully, by year's end, I'll be able to release it.
Wishing a very Happy Summer to you all!
