Fried Bread for Lunch (Short Story) - 5/4/2009 4:35:03 PM
What a delightful story, Joyce, thanks so much for sharing your memories. You made me smile, and I have to admit, you made my mouth water for some of that fried bread :)

Vegas, The King of Cats (Short Story) - 5/1/2009 3:33:45 PM
Joyce,
I foster kittens for Hopalong Animal Rescue in the SF Bay Area. A *failed* foster I adopted two. One is a Maine Coon mix and every bit just like Vegas. Except as a female smaller.
Very enjoyable read and excellent write.

A moving tribute, Mrs. Hoskins. You have proven, once again, the best stories are written from the heart and based on reality. Enyoy your present journey with Maggie ... you deserve it!
Warm regards ...

Joyce,
You are a remarkable writer and I, too, gained weight with my novel. Just have to laugh through it and get up off our butts a bit.

Bravo, Joyce McDonald Hoskins!
If you are seeking your father, I saw him! I discovered his smile, heard his voice, and felt his presence ... through the passionate memories you shared ... and your beautifully-written essay.
Warmest regards ...

He's always there for us. It's reassuring. I like the vulnerability in this poem. We all have it, but it's hard to show at times.
Hugs,

Thanks for the enlightment Joyce. I haven't been to Florida yet, but I plan to visit next year, instead of going to the Caribbean. It seems you have inspiration all around you all year long. Sometimes, in the dead of winter here in Canada, it's difficult to find inspiration.
Hugs,

God's High Water Marks (Poetry) - 4/22/2009 5:51:09 PM
You have the same "solo flight" experience that God in His wisdom did to me, and it has changed everything in my life. Thank you for making me look back, from April 14, 1994 to the present.

God's High Water Marks (Poetry) - 4/22/2009 5:07:46 AM
This was a wonderful blessing to read, Joyce. Yes, I have certain people I can point to who helped to show me the way to salvation through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. But God's own personal touch was there as well, drawing me by His "coincidences" along my way until I found myself yielding to Him by faith.
You tell of your childlike faith, too, and God's answer in healing your son. Yes, I have found Him a prayer-answering Father, too. And then the wandering one...I have certainly been there, and I encourage you to never give up. He loves our children more than we do, and he is working in their lives even as we weep and pray for them.
Thanks for sharing...Connie

This is beautifully imaged and written. Reminds me of a song I heard last night by Casting Crowns, "I Will Praise Him in This Storm." Indeed. Well done!
Welcome to Author's Den, you're among friends.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

You've set a lovely scene for us (In a couple of months, I'll be wishing I were in Florida, when the cold hits in PA) capped by the well-aimed thought at the end. Beautiful.
