Got your book today that I won on Goodreads, Love Takes Flight. Thanks very much! I will post reviews as soon as I finish it. Sharon Miller Apparently I need to ask a question, so, were you a short term missionary? wileygreen1(at)yahoo(dot)com

We'd been praying for a clear mandate for about ten years, and then everything came together perfectly. You can read the story in the nonprofit book, "Flying for Jesus." We re-retired when his parents needed our help at the ends of their lives. Hope you enjoy "Love Takes Flight." It's totally fiction, but based on real life. (less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

If words don't come for the novel, it's probably because I'm not sure of my plot and/or subplots. I don't sit and stare at the blinking cursor. It's time to take a walk without music playing or brainstorm with another writer or my husband, who has become a super brainstormer. Maybe the text needs to be flipped to the POV of another major character or the development of a subplot. If I know where I'm going, I can write myself there.(less)

Quotes by Lee Carver (?)

“minister had preached on Ephesians 5:15–16: “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” She wanted to take the phrase “Redeeming the Time” in the sense of making the best of the days available,”

Lee’s Quotes

“I was an orphan in my heart. I was begging for people to love me, to approve of me, to want me. And what I learned is that when you're an orphan, even just in your heart, you can love only those who will love you back. You can love only those people who have something to offer or who can reciprocate your feelings. But as a child of God, you can be completely alone and still love people who have abandoned you. As a child of God, you can go to the people who have nothing to offer and give all of you like Jesus did for all of us. That what that smile means to me now. It means that we're all orphans until we know how much we're loved.”
― Brian Ivie
