Jesse’s a bagger at the big Farmers Market downtown but most of all, he’s a greeter at Holy SonRise Baptist Church right next to the Market. That’s how I met him – he always greeted us when we come in to church and he particularly took a shine to me in that he took my hand in his gloved one (greeters wear white gloves and sometimes even hats) and bowed over it like I was royalty or something. He says stuff like, “Well, how-do, my young African Queen,” and when I’d get tickled, he’d tip his hat and then swoop it to the side where we always sit, like he was clearin’ the way for us.
The first time he did that, Mamma said, “Roosha, that man’s done drawed a bead on you, Girl.” Since I was only 12 then, I wasn’t sure what her words meant, but I was old enough to see that twinkle in his eye and it made my heart take a leap and my belly feel kinda warm all at the same time, if you know what I mean. When I told Mamma this she said, “Girl, you a ‘wakin up to being a woman, aincha?”

Thanks for stopping by Stan. Perhaps you would like to give your perspective on the Christian publishing industry.

As a Christian and a published writer, I’ve found the interview with Penny Culliford very interesting.

You heard it here on the Crafty Writer! Are you going to try your hand at the competition, Rosalie?

A fascinating interview. I didn’t even know that Christian chick-lit existed. I’ll be looking out for Penny’s books.

I know, doesn’t she look gorgeous! Gill, I won’t be judging this one, it will be Penny’s decision as she’s the expert on chick lit so I don’t think there’ll be a conflict of interest. If there is, I’ll just disqualify you!

What a fabulous picture!!!! An encouraging and informative interview. i wonder, should I try my hand at the chick lit competition – you don’t say who it is or isn;t open to. In advertising we always say friends, family of or their advertisers may not enter etc. …
