Dear friends, I’m overjoyed to launch my new website! Like me, I hope it takes you away to peaceful thoughts of the Amish countryside. To share my excitement, I’ve created the Lose Your Heart in the Amish Life Contest, where you can win a beautiful, Amish-made, quilted wall-hanging.

I’m looking forward to my book tour that will take place from April 9th through April 23rd, in Kentucky and a few places in Tennessee. Since my new Kentucky Brothers series is set near Hopkinsville, Kentucky, the tour will begin there. When my husband and I visited Kentucky for the first time, we were surprised to discover that many of the people in the Amish community near Hopkinsville originally came from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In fact, we learned that one of the families we’d met in Kentucky knows some of our Amish friends who live in Pennsylvania.

Because my husband and I travel so much, we have discovered that our world isn’t as big as we thought it was. It seems like everywhere we go we meet someone who knows someone we know, and on almost every trip we take, we make new friends, and special bonds are formed. When we met a new Amish family in Ohio last year, we had an instant connection and felt as if we had known them for many years.

As Christians, we are all part of the body of believers, which means, when we meet other Christians for the first time, we are able to fellowship with them, and often feel as if we already know them. I’m thankful that God doesn’t care what denomination we belong to. If we have accepted His Son, Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are all part of His church.

The Bible tells us in Matthew 18:20: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
