“Here comes the sun,” the long-haired tattoo artist said right before the roar of the machine cut on. I cringed at how impersonal it all was, at how thoughtlessly he threw out words that had come to mean so much to me. I wanted to hit him. If it wasn’t for the sting of my … More Anger 5: I’ll Follow The Sun
I had just finished the book of Isaiah on the day that my husband died. This fact alone does not seem significant. I didn’t plan it. I wasn’t on any type of reading schedule. I was just reading the Old Testament in order at whatever hour of the day I had the energy to do … More Anger 1: Rage…Shattered…Saved…
I, like many, have picked up plenty of skills and factoids in my twenty-six years on this earth, but there is one thing that I, without a doubt, am proudest of. I learned at a very young age, about three or four, exactly where to lay my head on my daddy’s belly to guarantee that … More My First Love
One of my favorite stories in the Bible is the one about Elijah giving the prophets of Baal hell. Doesn’t sound familiar? Probably because this isn’t really the take away that most people get out of this story, and it is certainly never the Sunday School lesson theme. You may know it better by the … More Sometimes Faith Shakes
I broke up with Stephen King about three years ago. We had a solid go of it for a while- I’d read his books, he’d scare me half to death, and then a few months later I’d forgive him and we’d pick up where we left off- the next book. We would then do the … More You Are What You Read
Friends, readers, people I have never met. Welcome back! This was certainly no record month of reads for me with all kinds of crazy things around us grabbing for my attention, but there were definitely some great books in this small mix. So here you are, my honest opinion of my May 2020 Reads. As … More May 2020 Reads
I only opened one book this month. If you were looking my usual first Wednesday of the Month book review blog where I review all 5-10 books I read this month, this isn’t that… well not exactly. I’m happy to review the one book of books that I did read…except you have probably already read … More Finding Out What YOU Believe in Battle
Murder Mystery March? It honestly started out that way by pure coincidence. While I love a good murder mystery, the month swung back into my normal flow after the first weeks. Overall, March was a solid month of reads thanks to some Half Price Books deals and some stellar recommendations. As always, thank you dearly … More March 2020 Reads
Week two of sharing my year of reads with you, and this week brings some absolute gems! If you’ve read any of the books I review, or you’re planning on reading any of them, I would love to know your thoughts! My favorite thing about books is how differently they impact everyone. Also, if there … More 2019 Reads and Reviews pt. 2
Does anyone else look for their own characteristics in books? Do you look for characters that could be you, if life happened to swing that way if you happened to live in the 1920’s or a dystopian world where children fought to the death? When I look through my “read” history on Goodreads, I recognize … More Alycia Timm Is Completely Fine
