True Stories from Pro-Life
Pregnancy Centers
April 25,
2008:
Thank you to everyone who has sent me stories for my book! There's some exciting
things happening with the project. I'd appreciate your continued prayers. I'll
let you know when something develops...

him Spock. (Guess we could have named him "V- -ger.")

Currently Reading:
Call me crazy (and
this drives my beloved husband nuts), but I can't seem to read just one book at
a time. I usually have several going...which means they may sit on my
"currently reading" list for a very long time (in case you're wondering).
Recently Read:
I read part of this one in anticipation
of November's National Novel Writing Month (www.NaNoWriMo.org
). I've found it very helpful, and I have a few ideas to implement before
November!
