What is the greatest gift someone could give you?
There are many great gifts out there one could receive, but the greatest gift goes beyond anything with monetary value. Jesus is the best and greatest gift humanity ever received. Having Him in my heart brings warmth and joy.
In addition to Jesus I would have to go with friendship. A true friend is hard to find, but when you find that one person who encompasses all the qualities of what a true friend is, they’re a treasure.
Who are your current most favorite people?
I can only go with Jesus on this one. I typically don’t have favorites because it isn’t fair (in my eyes) to others. Growing up my grandparents played favorites. I was never one. Granted, I was never mistreated, but I wasn’t a favorite. So I will never have a favorite person.
Every major change of seasons blows in or out with a type of wind. It’s a force of nature we can’t deny, but we can certainly be a part of. We watch as leaves turn beautiful colors at the end of summer/beginning of autumn, as leaves blow away and leave tree limbs naked and snow takes their place, as snow melts and buds grow anew once more, and as buds flourish into stunning arrays of lush green leaves of all shapes and flowers into color beauties painted by God.
You, too, can be a force of nature with your writing. “Paint” your words across the page as the mood or wind strikes or blows. You can be as strong a force with winds up to hurricane strength with your words, or you can be a gentle breeze depending on what it is your are writing. The choice is yours.
Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?
No. Uh uh. No how. Nope.
What historical event fascinates you the most?
My family’s history.
What does it mean to be a kid at heart?
Keeping a sense of wonderment and childlike fun.
What is your favorite form of physical exercise?
I love to walk. It’s exhilarating and an activity that promotes the clearing of your mind from a long day.
What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in?
I wish I had chosen to obtain an art degree. I didn’t realize years ago that it’s truly where my heart is, in addition to writing books.
What major historical events do you remember?
The walking on the moon. I was 2, and I remember asking my mom why they took such large steps. That’s when I learned about gravity.
