No Shopping List

This is what happens on the rare times I go to the grocery store and leave my shopping list at home.  I remember maybe two items on the list, then I wander around the store trying to remember more. Of course, foods I usually avoid call out to me. They end up in my shopping cart. 

The items in this cart that are on  my absent shopping list are the Maxwell House coffee and the bottles of Vitamin Water. The fried chicken, bacon, and donuts are not on my list. No wonder I look so unfocused. This author is definitely a List Person.  What about you?😊

When The Ideas Keep Coming

 I'm thinking about writing a 5th novel in my Church Doors series. In Church Doors Book 4:Won't Quit! (2020) main character NikkiMac marries Adam, the assistant minister of the church. New ideas are popping in my mind about the possible challenges and victories in this marriage and in the church. In Behind Church Doors (2009), NikkiMac first appears and tells how a single woman in her early 40's with a colorful history decides to learn about the Lord. NikkiMac's biggest challenge after she becomes a Christian is doing what God says in the Bible instead of doing what she wants to do. In Beyond Church Doors (2013) and Behind and Beyond Church Doors: Promises (2016), NikkiMac sees growth in her spiritual life. Although she continues to have missteps, she gets back up when she falls. She's kind of like many of us in our walk of faith. The novels are available at amazon.com and barnes&noble.com as well as from me. Visit www.sylviabrownroberts.com for more info. I'd enjoy hearing from you!

What's That Smell?

 Last Tuesday, there was a strange odor coming from the basement. That's where the gas water heater and the furnace are located.  I remembered that something that smells like rotten eggs is added to the gas that comes into homes so residents can smell a gas leak, which can be deadly. I wasn't certain that was the smell, but I called the gas and electric company, followed the instructions given (open some windows, don't use electrical appliances, etc.). I waited for the technician. Suddenly, a rush of anxiety crept into my spirit, so I thought about these two scriptures, went into prayer, and my spirit settled. The technician did a thorough check. It wasn't a gas leak. The source of the smell is a post for another day😊.

🙏I'm in awe of the power of prayer.🙏
