When Did My Life Become a Game of Twister? (2007)
"Right foot, red!" Bad hair day. "Left hand, yellow!" You're caught in a traffic jam-or a tragedy.
Once upon a time you had the game of life all planned. Your dreams would come true and everyone would live happily ever after. So when did life become a game of Twister? Someone else is spinning the dial, calling the shots ? and today, hassles and heartaches have you twisted like a pretzel physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Ouch!
Take a time-out from all your running, working, caring, and trying to keep it all together, and sit down for a grin break that will help untwist you. Mary offers laughter and wisdom for women everywhere. God cares about all of us who are trapped in the Twister game of life. He cares about you. And he wants to give you a better outlook and new moves that will free you up inside and out.

Confessions of a Prayer Wimp (2005)
Whether it's the busy mother's wish to be Wonder Woman - minus the metal bra - or battles with an exploding hot water heater, or fighting the "Resolutionary War" of New Years Day, Mary understands the dilemmas of being a woman in today's 24/7 world. From disorganized misery to extreme organizational mania (she used to refer to her children by their household chores: Cat Box Boy, Dishwasher Girl, and Garbage Can Baby), Mary deals with our fumbling attempts to grow closer to God, encouraging us as she invites us to laugh, cry, love, embrace life, and pray. In her humorous, conversational style, Mary laughs at our mistakes and her prayers that seem more like advertising jingles (Lord, I need a break today, and Can you hear me now, Lord?). In Confessions of a Prayer Wimp, you'll come to understand that faith is less about what you are or do or say, and more about who God is - someone who loves you no matter what you do.

When Did I Stop Being Barbie & Become Mrs. Potato Head? (2003)
If you love to kick off your shoes and laugh your socks off over the foibles and absurdities of life, this book is for you. Mrs. Potato Head's hormones are out of whack. Her memory is held together by sticky notes. But she's got a sense of humor that just won't quit, and she's learned to accept and enjoy herself as she is?because God does.

Picture it. I'm sitting at an outdoor cafe table under a white canvas umbrella. The sky is a perfect deep blue. It's 85 degrees. Palm trees sway above as I sip fresh pineapple juice and watch the gentle waves of the Pacific roll onto the beach at Wai...

TODAY'S LAUGH: I just read this Chinese proverb: "That the birds of worry and care fly about your head?This you cannot change. But that they build nests in your hair?This you can prevent!"
I've had a flock-or TEN-flying about at times. More than o...
