My First Book, The Shepherd's Quest, Available Tomorrow!

            Tomorrow, March 5th, my first book, The Shepherd’s Quest, will go on sale on Amazon.  This is a book that I never dreamed of writing because it is a work of fiction based on the Scriptural account of the last week of Jesus’ life on earth.  I praise God for giving me the privilege of sharing this story, and I hope it will give you a better understanding of Jesus’ followers as they endured the ups and downs of that Passover week.


Here is a brief description:

                Jedidiah was a teenager when the angel appeared that night outside Bethlehem.  He never forgot the fear, excitement, and celebration that he and the other shepherds experienced.  Now, as an adult with a family of his own, he is faced with the question of whether Rabbi Jesus is the same Messiah that he witnessed in the manger some thirty years earlier.  As he follows Rabbi Jesus through the Passover week, he is on a quest to determine the truth.  It is a quest that will send him and his family through a roller coaster of emotions until the truth is revealed—too late to save Rabbi Jesus.  Will his quest end with a dead Messiah?  How can that be?

                I hope you will find the story enlightening and moving.  Thankfully, we have a Messiah who is very much alive!!

Hi, I'm the Sun Porch Lady

  Hi, I’m the Sun Porch Lady. I recently retired and while most of the world thinks that is a wonderful thing, I've found it to be anything but wonderful. I've been going to school and/or working since I was six years old so finding myself with nothing, but free time is a whole new experience.   I have no structure, no daily schedule, and seemingly no purpose in my life.   While that may sound like heaven, I believe that Christians never retire.   God just repurposes them. As I struggled to find new purpose and bring some structure back to my life, I turned to writing.   Over the years, I have often written devotional thoughts or put various ideas to paper.   I can’t say that I’ve ever been very good at journaling but from time to time, I have written about events in my life that taught me values or made me more aware of God working in my life.   So, to keep busy and hopefully spark an interest in others I've decided to create this blog. I’m callin...

Is there a "Banana Cake" for you in 2025?

                 Most families have at least one Christmas tradition.   Our family is no exception.   One of our traditions when I was growing up was my Mom’s banana cake.   She only made it once a year, at Christmas time, and the whole family loved it—even my Father who was a very picky eater.   Once the cake cooled, Mom would cut it down the middle and then hide half of it.   She wanted to make sure that we would still have some when friends or family dropped in.   We knew better than to search for her hiding place, and she knew that if she didn’t hide part of it, we would eat it all.               When my Mom got sick and could no longer bake the cake, my Dad decided that it was my job.   As my closest friends know, I am not much of a cook—although I’ve seen some improvement since I retired.   That first year was a disaster.   Th...

Freedom Isn't Free!

             On Christmas night, 1776, George Washington engineered a surprise attack on Britain’s German allies, capturing 1000 Hessian troops.   The story of him and his troops crossing the icy Delaware that night gave hope to a new nation fighting for its life.   Regrettably, the celebration was short-lived.   Just a week later, the enlistments of most of his troops were ending, and it seemed unlikely that they would stay to continue the fight for freedom.   As he faced that prospect, Washington lined up his troops and offered this plea. “My brave fellows, you have done all I asked you to do, and more than can be reasonably expected; but your country is at stake, your wives, your houses and all that you hold dear. You have worn yourselves out with fatigues and hardships, but we know not how to spare you. If you will consent to stay one month longer, you will render that service to the cause of liberty, and to your cou...
