How Do You Solve a Problem Like… uh…??
I was in a remote area of India when I awoke in the middle of the night feeling terrible. My bed was drenched with sweat, yet I shook so badly from chills that my teeth chattered.

Adverbally Yours~
Long car trips always seem to go faster with murder. So last month when my husband, Dan, and I drove from the great Northwest to San Diego and back again, we checked out a couple of Agatha Christie murders to speed us on our way.
Goodbye, Catherine Kroeger
I almost knew Catherine Clark Kroeger. At the time she passed on to heaven—February 14, 2011—she was still lecturing and researching at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary inMassachusetts. I live on the other side of the country, which may be why I never actually met her.
