Another five start review for Courage of Fear.... blessed again, thanks Laurel-Rain

barboyer — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:57:36 -0700

I read "Courage of Fear" very quickly during my recent vacation, and as I turned to the final page, I had such mixed emotions that I thought about the characters, the events in the story, and wondered about "what might have been" for days afterward. And then I puzzled over the meaning in the events. The author takes us between the past and the present with style and grace, ...

Yesterday here in California it was so hot. It has been this way for over a week now. It is not intolerable, but uncomfortable enough and we haven't even hit Santa Anna season yet. Neither myself or Shawn, my roommate who also works from home, are much into the fake air... although we did discuss yesterday turning the thing on for a bit, then quickly decided against it. California's weather year ...

Wild Fire... a simple act of kindness... now a media/cyber frenzy

barboyer — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 16:48:58 -0700

If you all read yesterday's blog, or are one of my friends on facebook, you realize the day I had yesterday. However powerful it may have been it was reflective and indeed sad. The events from my evening before, plus the fact that on that evening, as shawn my roommate put it, not only were we placed center in a tragic situation, our house was indeed the triage for everything that surrounded the ...

Dear Heavenly Father, watch over that child... stay with it and get the tissues--all true, my yesterday

barboyer — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:14:56 -0700

"Dear Heavenly Father, watch over this child..." My arms clasped more firm around her as my mind begged my Creator, "...for we both know too well what comes next." And it did. Yesterday I turned on my computer and I thought, "Now what? What should I write about today?" Don't get me wrong. It wasn't that I had no stories to tell. As I stated in a past blog--I am an ...
