When I find myself shaking my head as someone remembers an incredulous experience, my mental pen begins to write. I infuse these nuggets of truth into a tale, weaving real experiences into a blanket of fiction. (less)

We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer
" YIKES. Sometimes I like macabre but not always. Having lived through some gruesome murders, I think this one is not for me. "

"1.5 stars—The one good thing I can say about “We Used to Live Here” was that it was a very short, easy to read book. After two five star books in a row, I guess I was due for a dud, but when you have high hopes for a book, it just hurts more.😂. ‘We U" Read more of this review »

Francis of Assisi
“O Divine Master, grant that
I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console;
Not so much to be understood as
To understand; not so much to be
Loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning, that we are pardoned”
Saint Francis of Assisi

Matthew Quick
“As I strode home I knew I didn’t need another second to decide anything. I would never align myself with a politician who could label a teenaged boy—with whom she’d never exchanged a word—a psychopath. My answer was a unanimous no. A billion times no.”
Matthew Quick, We Are the Light

“Let the church take care of the poor. That’s what John’s tithe was for, wasn’t it?”

“But faith is a hope in things you can’t see. The trials God allows in our lives can cause us to grow and mature. Trials reveal the genuineness of our faith.”
