Most of my writings have been about books – reviews through a group I am part of called Beck Valley Book Tours – this past year. I have started to blog again and then fallen off the track. I am starting again now.

New Place to Call Home

I have some great news. I am settled – not totally but enough – in my new home in Maggie Valley, NC. I love sitting at the table to work and looking out at the mountain across the way. It is inspiring and beautiful.

It’d be great if you let me know you were using this so we can meet up in Roanoke.

Book Reviews and Life

Don’t worry! My blog will not now turn into just a blog about running. I will share my ups and downs about running. I will also continue to do book reviews. I will also share posts about life. I have to write two parables for my Lay Ministry class. I fully intend to put at least one online.
