Fabulous Feature Friday Sherrinda Ketchersid Come meet my friend, Sherrinda Ketchersid. She recently had a Jacob's ladder experience.  At different times in our lives we all face the ladder. Her words will inspire you: I’ve been calling myself a writer for about six years. It has been the most wonderful, frustrating, rewarding, exasperating thing I have ever done! I’ve loved meeting other writers online and have been planning to go to the big ACFW Conference this fall with great anticipation. It’s what I love! Not long ago, God got a hold of me and we wrestled for quite awhile. You know when God is talking to you, even though sometimes you don’t want to hear Him. You have a disquiet feeling in your heart. You aren’t at peace. You run into road blocks at every turn. You know good and well He is trying to get your attention, but you look the other way.

By Mary Vee This is my opportunity to dedicate a day to the many special people God has made. I don't think I will every run out of people to feature on Friday because everyone has at least one thing special to share. My first guest:  My hubby. My hubby is a diehard nonfiction - documentary - historical - news reader only kind of man. (ewwww) He does not like fiction. (poor guy, I'm working on him) Still, my hubby has supported me with kudos, working out family schedules to find time for me to write, he's done dishes, and has taken on extra hours at work to pay for writer conferences. When I can't figure out the best word for a sentence, I go to him, explain the scenario, and wait for the perfect word to fall from his lips. His boring non fiction arsenal of knowledge has come in handy many times for me to gleam accurate details for a scene. Vacations revolve around many of the places he wants to learn about which includes buying "just one book&quo
