Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving...

How is this for a bird? I have to say, this is the best turkey I have ever turned out. Just goes to show what a little investment of research and effort will do. I brined the bird (I'd never heard the term "brining" before), a fresh one, followed all the guidelines for prepping, stuffing and baking, and voila--a masterpiece!

I can't help but notice the spiritual lesson here.

I admit...in years past I've pretty much thrown the bird in the oven and hoped for the best. But the results were much better when I delved into the art of preparing a turkey, researched, consulted the experts, then actually followed through.

When we apply these principles to our walk with God--checking the directions (in the Word), studying, consulting with people who have already achieved success, then actually following through--we can achieve the results we hope for, too.

What's up?

That's a good question...

After a CRAZY October, I've been happily working away in my office catching up on administrative issues and writing. I've submitted a chapter for a new collaborative effort with my church. I'm excited to work with a wonderful team of godly ladies affirming the concept of modesty to Christian young women.

And...I'm working diligently to finish the manuscript of Quilting Patches of Life, Vol. 2. I've been getting inquires as to when that will be complete. I hope to have the manuscript finished within a month, and publication details will be forthcoming after I evaluate the project with my literary agent.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
