Evidence of Grace (2007)
A murder conviction sent Sally Blake's killer to prison. Nearly thirty years after that fateful night, a phone call from a potential eyewitness may prove the wrong person is serving time for the crime. But what would drive someone to plead guilty to another man's crime? Noel Wyatt enlists the help of a young attorney, and David Davis, the retired judge who once prosecuted the case, to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. If an eyewitness exists, where has he been for the last thirty years? Is it possible the killer did not act alone? Is that person covering up for the real killer? What evidence does the eyewitness have that might overthrow a murder conviction? Will justice come too late for the person convicted of Sally's murder?

I quit work in 1999 to focus fulltime on my writing career. How the Lord has blessed me since that moment. I believe the most important thing a person needs before deciding to pursue a writing career is a spouse with a steady paycheck and a medical plan. Thanks to the Lord's provision and my #1 fan, my husband Ralph, I hit the ground running. In 2004 my first book, Streams of Mercy was published through Tsaba House. Evidence of Grace, book three in the Jenna's Creek series is due for release June '07. I also have three other books on the Christian market.
Writing was a dream of mine since I was just a kid scribbling in a notebook I hid behind my textbook during class. Reading was and still is my first love. I am currently looking for a job where someone will pay me to read books at my leisure. Since that isn't likely to happen, I'll keep writing and read as I find the time.
My husband and I have a blended family of three children and three grandchildren. We also share our home with two rescue dogs, Angel and Molly. Since acquiring Angel, I have become a huge advocate of animal rescue and am always sneaking messages about the importance of animal rescue into my fiction.
I am in the process of building a readers' club to promote my fiction. I will be hosting contests, such as name the character contest with lots of fun prizes. To read more about me and my books, and how to join the club, visit my website: http://www.teresaslack.com

I WALKED REAL EARLY THIS MORNING AND INCREASED MY DISTANCE!!! PRAISE THE LORD... JUST AS THE SUN COMES UP, THE MORNING IS STILL QUIET, VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC, SO STILL, YOU REALIZE YOU ARE WALKING IN THE MIDST OF GOD'S CREATION. BLUE SKY, WHITE CLOUDS, BIRDS SOFTLY FLYING ABOVE, AND AS ALWAYS, BEING A SINGER, A SONG COMES GENTLY CREEPING UP INTO MY HEART. THIS MORNING THE SONG WAS "A PERFECT HEART". SOMEWHERE DEEP DOWN INSIDE OF MY BEING THAT SONG COME TO SURFACE. OH, TO BE A CREATION OF THE ALMIGHTY.... TO KNOW THAT HE SEES EVERY LITTLE SPARROW THAT FALLS TO THE EARTH, HOW HE CLOTHS THE LILIES OF THE FIELD, AND HOW MUCH MORE HE THINKS OF US......HIS CREATION...... HE SEES ME CLOTHED IN HIS SON.....BEING PERFECTED DAY BY DAY, MINUTE BY MINUTE, SECOND BY SECOND.....UNTIL.........
WELL, THE WORD SAYS, "WHEN I SEE HIM, I SHALL BE LIKE HIM" WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY THAT WILL BE. UNTIL THEN LORD, KEEP WORKING ON ME, MOLDING ME AND PERFECTING ME INTO THE PERSON YOU WANT ME TO BE......
"Morning sun, light of creation
Grassy fields of velvet flow
Silver clouds a shimmering curtain
He's designed a perfect world
I'm amazed at His talents
I stand in awe of one so great
Now my soul begins to sing out
To the source from which it came
CHORUS:
Bless the Lord who reigns with beauty
Bless the Lord who reigns with wisdom and with power
Bless the Lord who reigns my life with so much love
He can make a perfect heart
MAY THE BLESSING OF THE LORD FILL YOUR DAY!!! LOVE & HUGS, TISHA

I pray your Sunday is filled with the awesomeness of God's holiness and almighty power.
STEPS TO MOUNTAIN MOVING SUCCESS.
Praise is the natural response of one who truly worships Me in spirit and in truth. I have ordained it to be so. True praise is an expression of faith in the truth of My word. This is the process by which your enemy is silenced. And you foe defeated. When you express your faith in praise of who you know Me to be, power goes out of Me to silence the one who would interrupt or destroy the plan I have for your life. Mountain moving faith is the result of your mouth expressing what your heart knows beyond doubt to be true. It is an explosive joy resulting from your love for Me which cannot be suppressed or conquered.
Psalm 8:2; John 4:23; Luke 8:46:Matthew 17:20, 21:21.
Have a real joy filled weekend. And may the windows of heaven and the doors of golden opportunities open before you, as you freely praise the One who longs to expand your spiritual and physical territory in life.
Psalm 8:2; John 4:23; Luke 8:46:Matthew 17:20, 21:21.
Blessings, prayers and hugs.
Sylvia

GETTING TO KNOW ME.... Saturday, July 12, 2008 - 7:35 AM
1. What is your occupation? Medical transcriptionist/author.
2. What color are your socks? White, when I wear them.
3. What are you listening to right now? The first songbirds of the morning, raising their voices in praise.
4. What was the last thing that you ate? Vanilla ice cream and fresh raspberries. Yeah, I know, I know, the diabetes....I just popped an extra pill at bedtime :-)
5. Can you drive a stick shift? No. Who'd a-thunk a farm girl never learned to drive a stick??
7. Last person you spoke to on the phone? Mike, on our anniversary yesterday. Hopefully the first and last anniversary we'll spend living apart!
8. Do you like the person who sent this to you? YES! What an awesome friend she's become!
9. How old are you today? 47
10. Favorite drink? Lemonade.
11. What is your favorite sport to watch? Huh?? Me and sports--not so much. Although I'll watch rodeo and other "horsey" competitive events when televised.
12. Have you ever dyed your hair? Oh, yeah. A word of advice--Super Sun-In is risky business. Take it from a once 16-year-old who learned the hard way that just because the picture on the box shows a lovely blonde, those of us with a lot of natural red in our hair just go BRASSY RED!!
13. Pets? Four kitty-cats.
14. Favorite food? Just one?!? You gotta be kiddin' me! Pizza, anything chocolate, the list is long and distinguished.
15. Last movie you watched? "I Am Legend", with Will Smith and an amazing German Shepherd. Academy award to the dog!
16. Favorite Day of the year? Christmas
17. What do you do to vent anger? Cry a bit, then pray.
18. What was your favorite toy as a child? Dolls, horse figurines.
19. What is your favorite, fall or spring? Fall, definitely. Love the changing colors and that wonderful kiss of autumn in the air.
20. Hugs or kisses? Both
21. Cherry or Blueberry? Cherry.
22. Do you want your friends to email you back? Yes or leave a message on my Guestbook.
23. Who is most likely to respond? Whoever happens to have a bit of time at the moment.
26. When was the last time you cried? I'm such an old softie--I'll tear up for commercials--the one that showed the athlete at the 2004 Olympics who fell and injured himself and whose dad helped him across the finish line?? Definitely bawl like a baby whenever that comes on.....
28. Who is the friend you have had the longest that you are sending this to? Mary
29. Who is the friend you have had the shortest that you are sending this to? LaJoyce
30. Favorite smell? Again, just one?? The aroma of turkey roasting on Thanksgiving, the perfume of my Lady Diana roses on a summer morning, the smell of freshly-mown hay, the wonderful sweetness of a summer night.
31. What inspires you? Jesus
32. What are you afraid of? Wasps, spiders, etc.
33. Plain, cheese or spicy hamburgers? Not a hamburger kinda gal...but when no alternative, definitely plain.
And there you have it. Probably way TMI, but just remember that you asked for it! :-)
How are you?? I'm SO SORRY I've been out of touch for so long. Thinking of you and hoping all's well!
Love,
Julie

Radical S.P.A.M. SANDWICH with TROUBLING QUESTIONS OR NO FEAR FACTOR!
F alse
E vidence
A appearing
R real
Are you thinking?
CAN I REALLY EAT S.P.A.M.???
WHAT IF IT MAKES ME SICK???
WILL JACKIE STOP BEING MY FRIEND IF I DON'T LIKE IT?
WHAT IF I DROP IT ON THE FLOOR?
WHAT IF NOBODY LIKES ME IF I EAT IT?
WHAT IF IT GIVES ME AN INCURABLE DISEASE OR WORSE, I GET FAT?
WHAT IF I CROAK?
WHAT IF GOD DISOWNS ME?
What does God say about fear?
1 John 4:18
"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out all fear; because fear is torment?"
One of the manifestations of fear is the "WHAT IF'S"
But think of how powerful we could be if we choose the NO FEAR FACTOR!!!!
Here are 8 examples of THE WHAT IF'S (Yes, we all struggle with these)
FEAR #1 - What if I can't do it?
NO FEAR FACTOR: WHAT IF I CAN DO THIS?!!!
FEAR #2 - What if I get hurt?
NO FEAR FACTOR: WHAT IF I MAKE A FRIEND?!!!
FEAR #3 - What if I get rejected?
NO FEAR FACTOR: WHAT IF THEY LIKE ME?!!!
FEAR #4 - What if I fail?
NO FEAR FACTOR: WHAT IF I SUCCEED?!!!
FEAR #5 - What if they don't like me?
NO FEAR FACTOR: WHAT IF I FIND FAVOR?!!!
FEAR #6 - What if I fall?
NO FEAR FACTOR: WHAT IF I GET BACK UP?!!!
FEAR #7 - What if I die?
NO FEAR FACTOR: WHAT IF I AM HEALED?!!!
FEAR #8 - What if the Word doesn't work?
NO FEAR FACTOR: WHAT IF GOD IS FAITHFUL?!!!
REMEMBER THERE ARE 2 SIDES TO "WHAT IFS" - STAY ON THE POSITIVE SIDE!!!
LET'S NOT LIVE OUT OF FEAR - BUT BY FAITH!!!
WOO HOO!!!!

Hi Teresa, I enjoyed reading your info as well. I am praying that your day is filled, with love, faith, joy and laughter.
ONLY THE LORD HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED! WHY WASTE TIME PURSUE THAT WHICH WILL ALWAYS RESULT IN HEART ACHE AND PAIN?!
Christ died that you might have everything you need in this world and in the one to come. He is calling you to come drink from the fountain of His intoxicating love. To come spent time in His throne room basking in His relentless overpowering, life changing love and mercy, which flows like a river from His heart. He is EVERYTHING you need. He desires that you always have enough. Enough love, power, authority, healing, food etc. Enough of everything that pertains to life and godliness in this earth. Enough to cause the world to see the likeness of Jesus in you. The question is, are you dead enough to the world to receive all the provisions that exist for you in Christ? The only way forward in the Christian life is to humble oneself and get low enough that you are totally desperate for God. As desperate as a drowning man fighting for air. Just as desperate as Jesus was to do the will of the Father, to only speak and act on the words of the Father. As desperate as the early Church was to continue what Jesus started. So very desperate to be like Jesus that you cannot be satisfied with anything less than being a flame of fire blazing for His glory. The good news, of the gospel of the kingdom of God, to those in need looks like salvation to the sinner, food to the hungry, strength to the weak, power for the downtrodden, provisions for the destitute. Christ is enough peace and wholeness of life for spirit, soul, and body for all those who are desperate enough to rebel against the world and its master and follow Him to the cross where you died with Him. Then raise up in the newness of life which He has already provided for you. A life filled with His Spirit, brightly shining the light of His presence throughout the earth. When we are not salty tasty morsels of enlightenment. We will be dreadfully trampled under the feet of the world and its master. Matthew 5:13-16.
May your life be filled with beautiful blessings and the dynamite power of the Holy Spirit to cause an explosion of God's glorious presence were every He leads you.
Love and Hugs
Sylvia

Hi Teresa,
I don't know how familiar you are with the Messianic movement, but it has become an amazing thing to behold, as Jews from all over the world have come to a saving relationship with Yeshua Hamashiah (Jesus, the Messiah). We can learn so much about our own faith by observing the Jewish perspective. We can also enjoy the rich tradition of Jewish art and music. With that in mind, I would like to invite you to check out an amazing new artist on my site.
Hillel Tokazier is a Jewish singer and songwriter from Finland, who draws on his roots in the synagogue, and then adds elements of jazz, blues, rock, and even gospel. The result is what I consider a totally delightful musical and spiritual experience. All of his songs are in Hebrew, yet I have enjoyed listening to them over and over. Come on by and check out "Shabat medley" that I have put on my page, then you can go to www.newfaithfavorites.com and listen to all of his songs.
I also, have an American singer, Elisabeth Genco, who has a song called "Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem" that honors Israel.
Thanks,
Jim
