Welcome Valerie Inez!
Our third child, Valerie Inez Kreger, arrived 8 weeks early this February 2023. We are so grateful to God for our "feisty" little girl!
My Two Valentines
I wrote as if I had an audience. As if someone else would someday want to know what had happened to me on November 29, 2013. My heart told me that this little “thing” was the real thing—the first flowering of my betrothal to Christ, and a gift that would never be taken away from me, as long as I lived.
The Expansion
My heart was stretching, expanding. Preparing for something new.
So long, Lord, I thought. So long have I waited for this convent of the heart.
Building a Convent of the Heart, Part 2
"After six years of marriage and the birth of two children, Mary at last learns to build a convent of the heart."
That’s a beautiful way to end the book, I thought. But in real life, this hasn’t happened yet.
Building a Convent of the Heart
My editor and I were talking about my convent memoir, yes. But we were also talking about my life, right now.
