Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do you run all of these websites and blogs?
Thankfully I don't have to do it alone: Amy S does a ton of the daily grind work over at Heart of the Matter plus we have another team of people that help in lots of ways to make the duties lighter on us; and Lori MacMath does the daily grind work of running Internet Cafe Devotions. So, the majority of my duties can be done in a couple days a week. The hardest part of what I do is all of the typing. Sometimes my fingertips go numb. It's pure bliss.

2. How did you become a devotional writer for Internet Cafe Devotions and what can I do to become one?
I became a writer for Internet Cafe Devotions after the owner, Darlene Schacht emailed me and offered me the opportunity. I had previously won a writer’s contest sponsored by CWO and the prize was a fabulous iPod. Zip down the road a year or so later and I am now a co-owner of the site. Our writer's guidelines are here: Guidelines. We are always excited to see women flowing in their gift of writing and we would love to consider you work. Submit it to:
amy@internetcafedevotions.com or
lori@Internetcafedevotions.com

I also suggest participating in Cafe Chat and leaving comments on The Internet Café site often. This will prompt others to click on your link and go to your blog. From there, we can read your fabulous work!

3. What church do you go to?
I attend Healing Place Church. I have been there for more than four years now and absolutely love it! It is a church that is all about the people and spreading the love of Christ. After 10 years of being in the wrong house, I am finally home!

For specifics on what I believe: beliefs

6. Did you design your own blog?
Yes, I did. I also put tips, tutorials, and free templates on my blog from time to time. I do not take orders for custom designs though. I can however, recommend a great designer: Darcy from Graphically Designing.

7. Why do you change your blog so much?
I love to create and design and besides, I get tired of looking at the same thing everyday! You should see the changes my hair goes through!! ;o)

8. Do you mind if I just lurk?
Of course not, I would love for you to leave a comment so that I can visit you too but if you don’t then that is fine.

9. Can you come and speak at our church or small group?
I do speak at events from time to time. Please email me for more information.

10. Your professional photos are great! Who took them?
My good friend, Tracy Jackson who operates her own photography business called Shots From the Heart took all of my professional photos. She is a bit of a traveler so get in touch with her to see if she'll be near you anytime soon!
