The Mussers’ End of Summer Update, 2023
Dear Ones, We pray you’ve had a restful, life-giving summer. We have so enjoyed being here at home in France these past three months. And just a few days ago, we humbly thanked the Lord as we celebrated 41 years with our mission, One Collective. In case you missed it last year, I (Elizabeth) wrote about what happened way back in 1982 on my … Read More The Mussers’ End of Summer Update, 2023

Letters to the Lord: Sentimental Advent
Yesterday I was reflecting that I may be the most sentimental person in the world, Lord. And how important each item in my home is to me—or rather I reflected upon the significance of each piece of furniture in this, our Flintstone home. And I can only name two pieces of furniture, the wicker rocking chairs I purchased on sale at Ace Hardware, that … Read More Letters to the Lord: Sentimental Advent
Letters to the Lord: Hydrangeas
As I mentioned in the ministry update I shared last Tuesday, I enjoy meeting up with other writers at our missions’ conferences. In Germany, I had the opportunity to share in person with lovely Julia Kramer whom I welcome back today to the blog. Julia’s first children’s novel was publisher this past June. You can find it here. I’m so proud of her! I … Read More Letters to the Lord: Hydrangeas

Good News, Bad News, and Amazing News
In an unexpected twist of events, you all did such an amazing job helping to spread the word about my new book and preordering from Baker that we ran out of signed book plates and we won’t be able to get more before the books are shipped out on release day. So, thank you all for helping spread the word! Sadly, this does mean … Read More Good News, Bad News, and Amazing News
Letters to the Lord: A Countdown Q & A
It’s countdown time–two weeks before the release of my new novel, By Way of the Moonlight. Yikes! The months and weeks preceding the launch of a novel can be a bit stressful for us authors. We wonder will my readers like the book? What about reviewers? So I was absolutely delighted to receive a lovely review from Publishers Weekly. You can read the whole … Read More Letters to the Lord: A Countdown Q & A
Letters to the Lord: A Full Quiver
We had a mini-Musser reunion this past weekend in Cincinnati. Andrew and Lacy drove up with their five little ones and joined Andrew’s two older cousins with their wives, each with their own five little ones. Yes, fifteen great-grandkids were all together for the day, the oldest being our grandson Jesse at 9 and the youngest being our granddaughter, Cori, at three months. It … Read More Letters to the Lord: A Full Quiver
Letters to the Lord: A Sonnet for the In-Between
The sky was blue before and now it’s gray And rain has wet the grass, seeped through the soil And hope is held in hiatus this day As, numb, we contemplate our Savior’s toil. I wonder, were the soldiers not afraid When Peter took a sword and sliced an ear And Jesus, with a stroke that stilled the blade, Reached out and touched the … Read More Letters to the Lord: A Sonnet for the In-Between
Letters to the Lord: The Joy of Twosday
Oh, dear Lord, thank you so much for Twosday! I’d never heard of that term until my daughter-in-love Lacy invited us to Lena’s birthday party. I misunderstood at first, thinking that since it was called a Twosday party it would be on a Tuesday. But of course, the pun was only because Lena was turning two. And so we celebrated all the wonder of … Read More Letters to the Lord: The Joy of Twosday
