"A friend hears the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails."
- My story with God
- I was raised a Baptist, and was baptized at the age of thirteen. Not that I was unhappy in my religion, but at sixteen, I developed a curiosity about other faiths, and began to explore other religions--from Catholicism to Buddism. For many years, I wandered, I strayed, but I was never completely lost, even though I became a non-practicing Christian. While I retained my core Baptist beliefs, with the exception of weddings and funerals, I avoided organized religion. I walked into Windermere Union United Church of Christ one Sunday morning, and knew I was "home." After all my wandering, I had finally discovered a church that embodied the spirit of everything I had learned, as stated in its' purpose--"that they may all be one." Because, after all, Isn't that what Christ asked of us ?
A true "mutt," my heritage is a mixture of English, Irish, and Native American. I am first and foremost, a Christian and a proud Southern Belle. I was born and raised in Newnan, Georgia, but I have been in Florida long enough to be an "honorary" native. I 've been married to my husband, Gary, for 26 years. He is currently serving his third term as mayor of our town. He has a son from a previous marriage, who is also married. They live in Wisconsin.
- Other stuff about me:
- I 've been writing since I was a teenager, heavily influenced by the work of Kathleen Woodiwiss and Margaret Mitchell. Fiction is what I do best, but I've also written non-fiction articles for national publications.
I am also interested and actively involved with art. I'm always trying some new craft, or involved in some artistic project. In 1998, I started selling repainted fashion dolls on ebay under the name "Lovely Painted Ladies." If you want to see some of my creations, visit Lovely Painted Ladies, http://www.geocities.com/lovelypaintedladies/index.html
Most of the dolls I sold were dressed in period costumes and accompanied by a romantic short story. Soon the stories began to get as much attention as the dolls. My clients, and even absolute strangers, urged me to write a book. So... I pulled out the novel I'd begun years ago, dusted it off, and spent a year re-writing it. The result was my first historical romance novel, "The Price Of Eden." My second book in the Florida series is, "Far From Paradise."
Both books have been well received, and I'm quite proud of the glowing reviews that continue to come in. If you'd like to know more about me or my books, and what I have planned for the future, stop by and visit my website, Bren's Romances,

WET PANTS
Come with me to a third grade classroom..... There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the front of his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened. It's never happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.
The boy believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his head down and prays this prayer, 'Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat.'
He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.
As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water. Susie trips in front of the teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the boy's lap.
The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself, 'Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!'
Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy. The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out. All the other children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his has been transferred to someone else - Susie.
She tries to help, but they tell her to get out. You've done enough, you klutz!'
Finally at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, 'You did that on purpose, didn't you?' Susie whispers back, 'I wet my pants once too.'
May God help us see the opportunities that are always around us to do good.
Remember -Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.
Each and everyone one of us is going through tough times right now, but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can. Keep the faith.
My instructions were to pick four (4) people that I wanted God to bless, and I picked you. Please pass this to at least four (4) people you want to be blessed and a copy back to me.
This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let's continue to pray for one another.
The Prayer:
Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those that I care deeply for, who are reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of Your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace. Where there is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs. Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings. Amen.
If the Lord lays upon your heart to send this to more than four '4' people, you are truly blessed)
