I write this with tears of gratitude, praising God for His gracious mercy. My mom and dad were spending the night in Pilot Rock with my brother’s family. Nine people in the house, asleep. At 5 AM, Mom awoke to yelling. Holly burst into the room, scooped Johnathan off the top bunk, and yelled for […]
As Time Goes By
My knee’s driving me nuts! I’ve got to distract myself from getting claustrophobic of my own body. It’s been more than a week since I injured it. My MRI isn’t until Wednesday. And it just keeps weirding me out. Since the swelling has gone away, that strange bump looks extremely freaky and I now have […]
"Knee"d Somebody to Lean On
We all need somebody to lean on–some of us more than others. I went to the doctor today … Here’s a picture of my knees from last night. I had to include both to provide a reference point of how knobby my knee is regularly. Otherwise the swelling looks normal. Aren’t knees one of the […]
Injured Pride
I’m writing this as my leg is elevated with an ice pack on my knee. Ah, yesterday started off so nicely. With an aching throat and a pounding headache. But it was Taekwon-do promotion day, so I forced myself out of bed and into my uniform. A couple of Ibuprofen and cough drops later, I […]
Trick or Treat with Miralee Ferrell
I’m honored to have debut author Miralee Ferrel stopping by Posting with Purpose today. Miralee, what a treat it is to have you here! Since we can’t really ignore the date, I have to ask: what is your favorite kind of candy to give out? Or, better yet, to get? We live 9 miles out […]
Just a Bunch of Flying Pixels
Mom and I have been in “deep edit” mode for the last month. Yesterday we polished up a new ending to On the Threshold and sent it to our fresh test reader. The lucky lady had not seen our writing before and was able to keep up with us, chunks of chapters at a time, […]
Don’t Miss a Halloween Treat with Miralee Ferrell
I’ll be trick or treating with debut author Miralee Ferrell on Wednesday. You won’t want to miss the one-of-a-kind picture I’ll be posting. We’ll also be discussing her first novel, The Other Daughter, which released last week. Since this is Miralee’s first book, this is obviously her first blog tour, but Miralee is a terrific […]

By Christina Tarabochia on October 25, 2007 in ACFW, Ane Mulligan, Gina Holmes, Janet Rubin, Jessica Dotta, Novel Journey
Many, many awards were given out during the ACFW banquet, but there’s one category they have added. Yet. The Best Blog. Of course, we all know who would win. Yep. Novel Journey. Here I am with Gina Holmes. She once posted an entry where she quoted a Peanuts adult as saying, “Whah whah whah whah […]
Did Someone Mention My Husband?
Oh, that was me … in the last post. I thought you might enjoy seeing my husband in uniform. I rarely get to see him that way because he changes before he comes home. This picture was used as an example at the jail of good pod supervision. I blurred the faces myself and I’m […]
Heart Moment Writing Contest
Information for this writing contest sat in my inbox for weeks before I finally acted on it–last night. The National Center for Biblical Parenting is looking for mothers and fathers to relate a “heart moment” they had with their child. Deadline is October 31st. I entered a funny story about Joshua–and it relates to the […]
