Blog postBy Davalynn Spencer @davalynnspencer
Not long ago I had the honor of spending time with a couple of cowboys who had more than the love of rodeo and horses in common. Though one hailed from Louisiana and the other from Pennsylvania, their trails first crossed during an emergency medevac on 13 October 1971 in Vietnam. From a wrecked Jeep, one laid down cover fire for the other who carried the wounded to his chopper that hung by one skid over a mountain ledge.
Not only did t -

I knitted once.
Many years ago, I needled my way through a scarf for my soon-to-be-husband, hoping to keep him warm in Colorado’s snowy clime while I wintered in temperate California. That scarf was the extent of my knitting career.
When I started writing this year’s Christmas novella, Snow Angel, I discovered that my heroine knitted despite her physical challenge. My own knitting experience wasn’t enough to help her out, so in -

When asked what advice I have for aspiring writers, I say, “Don’t quit.”
Sometimes I say, “Never give up.”
And often I add, “Keep writing.”
I know; my advice is boringly repetitive.
However, that’s the kind of stick-to-it-iveness required for most worthwhile endeavors.
It’s that simple.
One of the easiest things to do is quit.
One of the hardest things is not to.
Giving up is not an opt -

In most places, fall arrives with a visual reminder that change is coming. Ordinary green trees don brilliant foliage and temperatures fluctuate drastically.
I find hope in the changing seasons – hope that God in His mercy won’t leave me stuck in the same circumstances forever. That I can look forward to times of rest, renewal, and growth.
I need the visual change around me, and I need the spiritual change within me. How beauti -

You’ve probably watched a parent hold their child close and pour in their love. Eye to eye. Face to face.
Maybe you’ve even done it yourself.
Holding a little one close to our face is often symbolic of how we hold them close to our heart.
As an earthly parent adores the child of his love and hugs her close, so the Lord adores us and draws us near if we let Him.
The Psalmist wrote of God’s people and His vi -

Do you see it—hanging like a papery ornament, just in front of a Colorado blue spruce?
What you may not notice are its whirring, buzzing, stinging residents.
That nest is best left alone.
I shot this picture from the back of my horse on a trail at Music Meadows Ranch near the base of Colorado’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Curiosity over the intricately layered nest called me to investigate, but I didn’t. I knew -

I received a note from a friend the other day. Part of it said, “Surround yourself with what you love.”
Sometimes I do this without thinking about it, haphazardly scattering colors or keepsakes that appeal to me. Without serious consideration, I simply like the feel or look of particular designs and styles.
At other times, I deliberately choose the imagery and symbolism of my environment because of how it speaks to me. Lately, -

Fear is a liar. As the popular song goes, “It will rob your rest, steal your happiness.”
In my Civil War novel The Abolitionist’s Daughter, each character entertains a lie that causes them to fear. The hero’s twin brother manipulates the hero -

Hide and seek – is it only a child’s game?
Not necessarily. Adults like to figure things out, hunt for buried treasure, and make ground-breaking discoveries.
It is in man’s DNA to investigate and unearth. Personally, I believe God intended it to be so, and I wouldn’t be surprised if He takes great delight in our discoveries, much like a parent watching their child do the same.
The Scriptures say, “It is God’s privilege -

Have you ever heard the phrase “down in the dumps”?
It’s been around about 500 years, according to people who look that stuff up.
Though the idiom is nearly self-explanatory, some etymologists believe the word “dumps” may have come from a Dutch or German word meaning hazy or musing. In sixteenth century English, dumps referred to a fit of depression.
Regardless, we know what it means because our words “down” and “up” ar
