NEWS: Upcoming and Current Giveaways and Discounts

Bonjour, dear readers! We had a little bit of a technical difficulty sending out the bi-monthly newsletter this time, so we wanted to make sure those of you who normally receive my newsletter still got all the following updates. In times like these, I’m so grateful for the reach available through social media and my…

Happy New Year/Bonne Année!

Dear Ones, Chers Amis, 2022 held for us some of the most poignant events in life: a birth and a death, celebrations of milestones, launching new things, spending time with family, enjoying beautiful places around the globe, sensing God’s presence through all the ups and downs of life. He doesn’t take away the hard, but…

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…

Letters to the Lord: Thanksgiving Bitter and Sweet

Lord, You know that I went into the Thanksgiving week with a good bit of tears. Both of our boys and their wives were spending the holiday with their in-laws and my mind was filled with last year’s memories when the whole Goldsmith crew was together in Atlanta. It was such a happy, hopeful time,…

Letters to the Lord: He Who Guards Our Comings and Goings

September and October have been a blur of comings and goings for me. I’ve shared many times this verse from Psalm 121: “The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.” Well, He has and here are a few photos to prove it! I flew from Lyon,…

Letters to the Lord: The Truffula Tree and a Giveaway

Dear Lord, September was quite an event-filled month as I flew from France to the US to begin our six-month stay in the States. I will write about all my signings soon, but for now I’m back home in Flintstone, Georgia, and I let out a long sigh of relief and thanksgiving. Across the sunroom…

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…

The Last Eight Months

Bonjour, dear Ones, Two weeks ago you heard about our forty-year milestone. (And yes, Paul was not exactly thrilled with the way I went on and on about meeting him, but he knows that he married a romantic…) Finally it’s time for a way-overdue snapshot into our last eight months. If you’re on social media,…

Letters to the Lord: Forty Years

Dear, dear Lord, I cannot process this truth, but here it is: Forty years ago I stepped onto the campus of International Crusades to begin my short-term mission’s experience in France. Short term, Lord. Three years. And here I am, forty years later, still experiencing ministry in France. I call that GRACE. Amazing grace, Lord.…

Letters to the Lord: A Bestseller List, an Interview, and A Giveaway

Dear Readers, I so appreciate all of your enthusiasm for and reviews and photos of ‘Moonlight’! I heard from my publicist a few days ago that ‘Moonlight’ was on the Parable Group’s Bestseller List for last week. That felt like a big hug from the Lord! This lists the top 50 selling items (books, media,…

Letters to the Lord: Release Day!

                                                              Today’s Release Day for my new novel, and yes, it’s true: By Way of the Moonlight was chosen as A Publishers Weekly Top 10…

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…
