A Visit with Author Kathy Cretsinger! A group blog to discover the gems in Christian fiction, its authors, books, and writing including giveaways and information about new releases.

Good Morning Afternoon! Today is a good cool day for us in Kentucky. My mind is consumed with choices. We make choices each day of our lives. Some of the choices are good, but some of our choices are not good. We are guilty of both the good and the bad/. If you made good choices, please let me know. My #1 best choice was becoming a Christian. My #2 best choice was marrying my husband almost 61 years ago. A good choice!

Today,. people do not remember to be kind. When I was in the hospital once for over six weeks, I remembered the nurses were stressed and I tried to relieve them of some of the stress by being kind. Do something kind today.

Today, June 6 is National Drive-in Theater Day! I remember those drive-in movies. Loved the large screens. They are a thing of the past. Have you ever been to a drive-in movie?

Do you read devotional books? My publisher put together a devotions written by the authors in the publishing company. I am pleased to be a part of this group. Mine is on page 233, and it is about contentment. The apostle Paul was one of the most contented men in the Bible. We learn so much from him.
