Extraordinary Woman

Karen EWomen of the year
Karen was named the 2009 Extraordinary Woman of the Year at the EWomen Conference in Roanoke a week ago. This award took Karen completely by surprise and she was humbly awed at receiving it!

"What makes any of us extraordinary," Karen said as she accepted her award, "is that we have a Savior, Jesus Christ, who loves us more than we could ever imagine."

Here Karen is holding the award along with a dozen beautiful roses from her amazing friends at Zondervan Publishing! Congratulations Karen!

I'm crazy into twitter and I love it!

By following my posts, you'll see fun things like my morning pancake disaster from the other day, or brief devotionals that might help you get through the day.

Karen Kingsbury's Like Dandelion Dust, Movie News

DandelionDust
Karen Kingsbury's Like Dandelion Dust has been making its way through film festivals across the country... Read more news about Like Dandelion Dust .

From one viewer...

Karen Kingsbury's "Like Dandelion Dust", based on the best-selling novel, is a compelling drama that explores the different meanings of being a parent through the grittily realistic lives of the struggling, blue-collar Porter's, and the privileged Campbell family. Their lives intersect, intertwine and collide, all for the love of a little boy. This film is wonderfully acted, bravely exposing the humanity in each character and reminding us that we each have the potential to be the best and worst versions of ourselves at any time.

Karen and Donald Celebrate Twenty Years of Marriage

Bunker
Our first home together, 20 years ago!
Donald and I celebrated twenty years of marriage this past summer, twenty years that have flown by in what has felt like so many brilliant moments.
    For our anniversary, we took a few days and traveled back to Southern California, to many of the places where we hung out while we were dating.
    We stayed in Santa Monica and biked along the beach path from the pier north to Will Rogers State Beach and south to Marina Del Ray and back again, and we drove to the Valley and spent a day driving down memory lane.
One of our first stops was at the house just south of Ventura Boulevard where we rented a small garage apartment when we were first married. Back then, the homeowner called the little place “the bunker”...
Read the rest, and see photos of our anniversary trip
