These past weeks have been one of dreadful cold for many in North America. Snow, freezing rain, storms in varying amounts-some more than others. You just have to put on the television and there would be images of piles of snow being shoveled, homes damaged, news of schools closing due to the terrible weather, some people being victims of hypothermia. After having some snow here in the South and howling winds all night and day, we are finally getting the expected rain. The snow has completely melted here and by morning, it will still be raining on the soggy mess of our yards.  Apart from the weather being a major headline, you hear about violence, brutality, wickedness. It is sad to see so much suffering around us. Please remember to always pray for others. We must remember to put our trust in the Lord. He knows and sees all thing. I leave you with Psalms 37:4. "Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."

Last evening, after our church service, we had a little get-together for food and fellowship. I had my camera with me and kept shooting pictures of everyone. Most of the shots that I took were candid and some were posed. I think that I love candid ones more, don't you? Everyone was talking and enjoying themselves. I browsed around the fellowship hall and listened to the chatter and constant laughter. It was a pleasing sight to say the least. I could feel the love for each other and thought about what our Lord would think when He looked down at us. He would be smiling, I'm sure. Though our church have a small number of members, there is unity and love. When someone has a need, you can count on someone praying immediately. This past year has been a bit stormy in the lives of a lot our members including my family but our hope and strength came from the Master Himself. We know that no matter what happens in our lives, He is in control. We may fall short sometimes in our faith but s...

Sorry that I haven't blogged in so long but if you were following my Facebook page Author AM Glover Facebook page, you would have known that there was quite a bit of events in my life. First, my husband had to be rushed to the ER and had an appendectomy. Then after he was released the next day, we went home and couldn't seem to get better. Nine days afterward, he had to be rushed again and this time it was because of an abscess forming at the point of the appendectomy because somehow or the other some of the poisons of the infection leaked into him and caused the abscess. We were there (yes, I slept in the hospital room and it was no fun sleeping in the pull out couch) for five nights. After the third day and he was getting more pains rather relief from the antibiotics and pain medication in his IV, the doctor decided to put a drain in him. Relief came and it was a matter of healing. Then last week, I had to take him back to the ER for the third time in less than a month. This...

Today is the first day of June, 2014. How much has the time flown by! Sometimes, I have to make myself slow down and reflect. Have you ever done that? Have you ever felt that there are not enough hours in the day? I am almost done writing Book 3 in the Sunny Brook Trilogy (Marie- Reunited). It has been a long journey. At times, it can be frustrating that I cannot get a scene done because the routines of life demands my attention. Then, I have to remind myself that everything is in God's timing. I was finally able to do some work on my book yesterday and it was refreshing that not only was I able to finish a scene that I had started but to write two more! Our problem is that most of the times, we try to do everything ourselves and when we cannot, then we turn to God. Does that happen to you at times? Daily we need to keep reminding ourselves to trust in the Lord before trusting in ourselves or others. The Lord's Way is the Only right way. Lord, I put myself in Your care and tru...
