Remember Me



















12 days to Easter.

This particular coming Easter is already proving to be more personal to me. The trip to Israel awakened and illuminated God in ways I could not have experienced otherwise.

Perhaps I can help you just a bit. My goal is to provide sensory images to help you engage in remembering what God has done for you.  Because He loves you.


Let's start with a ride on the Sea of Galilee. 




The water smelled like lake water with a bit of fishy. I would best compare it to Lake Michigan in scent because I have been there. 

The Sea of Galilee is not huge. At the time of translations there wasn't a distinction between a sea and a lake. Only one word was used for both.

Watch the video again and imagine stepping out of the boat we are riding in and walking on the water.

Imagine seeing Jesus appearing from the fog or storm clouds walking on water.

Imagine nets so full of fish that reeling them in cause the boat to take on water.

Imagine being served a fresh fish breakfast by Jesus on the shore.

As you have time, read these passages and imagine yourself there, with Jesus. Here are what these four disciples of Christ reported. By reading them all, you will have a more complete understanding.

Matthew 8:18-27 
               14:22-35
Mark 4:35-41
         6:45-56
Luke 8:22-25
John 6:16-21



This post has been brought to you by the one word: RememberMe

I was introduced to Laura at an ACFW conference by my a fellow Writer's Alley Cat writer. Immediately I saw Laura's gracious spirit. It's been about two years since and I thought of that Christlike spirit when I noticed her new book release. I asked Laura to share with us the journey God has led her on for her writing career. Of course she graciously agreed. Here is what she said: You Were Born For Nothing Less Thanks so much for having me here, Mary. It’s always a joy to revisit my writing journey as it stays fresh and is always humbling to think how God led me to this place.  In a nutshell… I’ve written stories – historical fiction only – since I was seven years old. I think I came into the world hardwired to write. I didn’t

She taught the first class I attended at ACFW. Her husband graciously showed, enduring Julie's stories. She taught how to write Christian Romance.

When America was attacked in September 2011, the world changed. I remember my heart hurt for those who had suffered and died. I thought how could my writing ever mean anything to anyone when there were more important issues going on in the world.  I had been writing and trying to publish for eight years at that point and was getting discouraged. I had begun to think maybe it was time to let the dream of publishing go.  A few weeks after 9/11 my women’s Bible study went for a weekend retreat to the beach. The theme of the retreat was Dream Big. Throughout the weekend I kept wondering what God would want me to dream
