Distortion

-
I just finished a real page turner, Distortion, by New York Times bestselling author, Terri Blackstock.

 Book 2 in the Moonlighters series, Distortion  is a crime mystery novel with realistic characters who, though imperfect, are trying to live out their faith under difficult circumstances.

Returning a rental truck after helping his sister-in-law move, Physician, Bob Cole, is brutally gunned down in front of his wife, Juliet.  At first the horrifying crime seems like an act of random violence, but upon her return home, she receives a chilling voicemail demanding fifty million dollars and "the codes."

This frightening turn of events leads Juliet and her sleuthing sisters on a quest to identify her husband's killer.  Along the way, she discovers he has been leading a secret life of crime and immorality.

Perplexed, while trying to protect and comfort her two young sons, she struggles through her own grief and continues in the quest for truth -- wherever that may lead.

Distortion is action packed all the way through, with unexpected twists and turns galore, reminding me somewhat of my favorite mystery writer, Harlan Coben.  Purchase Here.

A complimentary copy of this book was provided for me to review on this blog.  
I was not required to provide a positive review.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema

Apostles and Earrings

I wonder if this belonged to one of the apostles? Simon the Zealot strikes me as the kind of guy who would wear an earring. I recall the time, when I was graduating from seminary, I received an invitation to start a new congregation in a college town. In the letter, they outlined the vision, the demographics of the community, and their expectations for the pastor. The letter ended with a p.s. -- "and of course, your wife will not be permitted to wear earrings." They forgot say anything about ME wearing earrings. For a while, I was tempted to go ahead, take the position, and get my ear pierced.
