Tips from the Pros: Grace Fox

, by

Greetings from Marti Pieper in heading-toward-summer Mount Dora, Florida. My husband and I are enjoying this brief season when we can still leave our windows open at night for some cool air.

What Fills Our Lives?

, by

                            A perpetual calendar of quotes sits on my desk. One quote that’s become a personal favorite expresses these wise words—“Our lives, to be fruitful, must be full of Christ; to be able to bring his peace, joy, and love we must have it ourselves, for we cannot give what we have not got” (Mother Teresa). These words encourage me to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ on a daily basis, but they also challenge me in my role as a writer. As a writer, my desire…
