It’s amazing what stupid things people will start a disagreement over. I get tired of it.
Currently, there’s an individual in our church who has really made a muck-up of a lot of things for a lot of years. Well, okay. There’s a couple of them. And I’m sure my turn will come too. In any case, the current fool recently brought me to an anger level I haven’t experienced since before I was born again. It’s a funny thing; trusting Jesus’ payment for your sins makes you a new creation, and you’re so thrilled with the freedom and the relative peace of that new life . . . and then, over the years, things get complicated again.

Molly: I would love to really visit Canada someday. Do you live in Alberta maybe or near there?
Cat: I live about a day’s drive from Alberta, and there’s another province between here and there. Niagara Falls is twice as far the other direction. But we have real cowboys here in Manitoba too. Did growing up country-style have any positive influences on your development as a writer? Any negative ones?
