Nosy in Nebraska (2009)
Three cozy mysteries
Of Mice and Murder
Carrie hates mice and loves the big city. So why is she living in a huge mouse infested house in her dinky hometown? The dead guy in her pantry closet is the most interesting thing that's happened since she came home. Of course the carpenter who's helping her trap her mice and solve the crime is pretty interesting, too.
Pride and Pestilence
Joe Manning comes to town to finally meet his dead beat dad, only to find his father has been murdered.
Bonnie is attacked while she's at work in the Melnik Historical Society Museum, proud home of Maxie the World's Largest Field Mouse. Only her attacker now claims it was an accident, and he claims he's never seen the guy before who's dead in Bonnie's store room.
Bonnie wants to be suspicious but once he stopped attacking her he turns out to be pretty sweet. And lots of people had a motive to kill Sven Gunderson - including Bonnie herself. Gunderson, the true owner of Maxie, wanted his mouse back.
In Melnik, that means war!
The Miceman Cometh
Tyler Simpson is opening a new law office and he's home to stay.
The very British Dr. Madeline Stuart is writing an anthropology doctoral thesis about a small town that worships an oversized rodent. Success with her project should lead to her dream job, a full professorship at Oxford... even better, a guest shot on Oprah.
When a body falls out of a cupboard in Tyler's law office, clutching Maddy's necklace in his cold, dead fingers, Maddy gets arrested and Tyler is appointed her attorney.
But once Tyler finds out Maddy's here to betray his beloved Melnik, he isn't giving her his best effort.
And someone out there thinks blaming the murder on Maddy would be a perfect solution to his own problems. And Maddy's more likely to cooperate with being framed - if she's dead.
Maxie the World's Largest Field Mouse must come through one more time to thwart the criminal in his peaceful, if someone mouse-obsessed, hometown.

Alaska Brides (2008)
Contains Golden Days winner of ACFWs Book of the Year contest as Best Short Historical
Amy Simons is saving God for when she really needs him. Until then, she'll manage on her own. After a mishap on a bustling Seattle street nearly kills her, Amy is going home to Alaska.
Braden Rafferty, devastated by the loss of his wife and child, needs to get away from his home. He failed his wife and, as he sees it, that makes him a failure to God. His brother's new life in Alaska lures him north in the midst of the Klondike Gold Rush.
A chance encounter on the trip opens recent wounds for both. Amy, frail from her recent injuries, reminds Braden too much of his fragile wife. Amy's independence is crushed when she has to accept Braden's help getting home, and she vows that as soon as her strength returns, she won't need anybody. But when Amy finds out she has no home to go to, Braden must step in and take her to his brother's.
After Amy has another near death experience, she begins to wonder if her accidents aren't accidental at all.

My dearly beloved Mary:
Peace be unto you!
Given the current distress and perplexity which the world is experiencing, inspirationally caused by the forces that be through man and nature, it is important that certain mysteries are brought to light at this time, that the wearied soul may find comfort in understanding the time and season, and his designed course and ordained destiny, as the end of the journey and its glory are upon you: for every journey must have an end. Individual appointed times are gradually unfolding unto the full knowledge of God's grace, as the last fulfillment is at the door; grace to you: for Peace, the latter rain, whom you seek, and whom the world esteems not, is in your midst, incognito: for as it was at the first, so again it is at the last!
To he that has perception: Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open (expound) the book, and to loose (interpret) the seven seals thereof. Thus you were told to watch: for he comes as a thief. And understand the presence of a thief: for he never comes announced; but is in your midst, yet unawares to anyone but he that he makes his presence known to: incognito. Let he that has an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches (the body of faiths), even unto all men: it is the voice (doctrine: testimony) of the seventh angel (Peace: the last). The peace of the Father, which is accorded the Son, be with you; and the love of the Father, whom you are, ever to be reflected unto your brethren. Shalom! Salaam! Namaste!
Eternally with you!
Your friend,
Nicky

Hello my Friend;
Asking a favor for a fellow Christian. It's my neighbor whose name is Angie. She didn't ask me to do this, but it was laid upon my heart from God. It started with her 2 horses Whisper and Ginger looking a little thin, so I stopped to ask if they were okay, she said it was the worst they have ever been, and in so many words without her complaining at all to me.
I asked God in prayer if I could reach out to others for help. And the reason for this request. I called the feed store and purchased enough feed 6 bags or 300 lbs. to get them thru until the end of June when they are being moved out of there home, I don't know all the details, and did not want to pry. This woman is a Christian and has 5 children from 3 to 12 to care for, plus 3 dogs she has rescued and also a couple she is letting stay in her home because their home went into foreclosure, and they had no where else to turn. Her truck just broke down as well. I have never met a more humble person than this girl. She was just going with the flow and trusting God would work on her behalf...*smile*...if you can give anything to this single mom until she can get back on her feet, I would greatly appreciate it and make sure that God gets all the glory.
I will be taking photos starting tomorrow on a day to day journey for all who would like to be apart of this, so you can see where they are at now, and how God will work thru His children until she is okay to again make it on her own. What a testimony for the glory of God. I will update it right here on shoutlife on a blog called: "Horses and the testimony of God".
If you can donate anything here is a link to a paypal account on her and her families behalf.
Donate thru Paypal link
I will personally be helping her and praying as the donations come in how God would like it used and what order to help her out. So thank you in advance if you can be apart of this financially or thru asking God in prayer in Christ's name for the help to come in for this family at a time such as this.
Thank you and God Bless you!

YOU ARE A WARRIOR BY GOD'S DIVINE CHOICE.
You are destined to win. Never let go of that promise. Cling to it, fight for it, and keep your heart and head always firmly affixed to it. See Genesis 32:22-32.
We are told by the prophet, Hosea 12:4, how Jacob wrestled for the promise of God to be fulfilled in His life. He wept and made supplication; prayers and tears were his weapons. It was not only physically and intellectually, but spiritually that he wrestled. It was by vigorous faith and holy desire that he won. He was left with a dislocated hip to remind him of his weakness, but he had an enlarged heart of faith to remind him that God was his strength and a keeper of His word.
You are strong in the Lord and the power of His might. You are strong and you are able to stand against the evil that is coming against you. Against your body! Against you peace and wholeness of life! Against the use of your tongue to speak God's truth! Against the will of the Father in all areas of your life! God will put strength in you. And you shall stand with Him against your enemies. Against all that stands between you and your full inheritance in Christ, both here in this world and in the one to come. Against all that the curse encompasses, including sickness and disease. Against everything that is necessary for life and godliness, even here and now and eternal life in the world to come. You can do all things because in you dwells the fullness of your God. You are strong because God says you are strong in Him and He commands you to say it even in your physical frailty and weakness!!! God's command is, "Let the weak say I am strong". It is not what you see, feel and hear from your flesh, the world, and devil, but what God has promised you in His infallible word that allows you to walk in His power. Lay down your worldly weapons, take up the sword of the Spirit (See Joel 3:10); put on the whole armor of God and with prayer and supplication let the weak say, I am strong. Joel 3:10. The battle is the Lords but the wrestling is yours. 2 Chronicles 20:15; 1 Samuel 17:47. In this world we will have trouble and plenty of it. But in Christ you have overcome the world. Take up your cross and march right into the very depths of God's heart where the abundance of life Christ promises you awaits. WE ARE THE OVERCOMING COQURERING BODY OF CHRIST!!!! LET US MARCH BRAVELY INTO THE BATTLE FOR THE WAR HAS ALREADY BEEN WON.
May the mercy and grace of our Lord be your comfort always!
And may the fullness of God's splendor descent upon you daily!
Sylvia xoxoxo

Don't be a fence sitter!
Mass confusion, mob uproar - in Decision Valley! I call Heaven and Earth to witness against you today: I place before you Life and Death, Blessing and Curse. Choose life so that you and your children will live. Joel 3:14 Deuteronomy 30:19 The Message
I pray that every decision you make is a God-directed decision of Life, leading to His blessings for you.
Blessings,
Susan

He saved us from all that. It was all his doing; we had nothing to do with it. He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out by the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5 The Message
I pray that you see yourself cleansed - not by your own efforts, but by the grace of your Loving Abba Daddy.
Blessings,
Susan
