  The Politicization of Common Sense and Morality; of course I’m voting for Trump!             Many years ago I started writing a blog before the Presidential election to give a thought provoking and detailed reasoning as to who I was voting for and why.   When I looked at writing it this year, deep down I wanted to say, “Duh.” If any of you have been reading anything that I write for any length of time, you’ll know where I stand on this election.               While it’s always my desire to come across genuinely loving and to see both sides of the situation here, this time I know I will probably offend some.   While that isn’t my goal, the nation we live in is getting more and more divisive and the ‘middle ground’ has quickly disappeared.   I will state my opinion, and I realize not everyone will agree with it.   While I love people, I cannot c...

    ***This blog is political in nature.   If you don’t agree with me, then that’s fine.   I’m a big girl, but please don’t start a social media battle with me.   I just don’t have time for those shenanigans.   Here is my email address, feel free to use it anna@annamaquino.com****             This will be a blog that I’m debating on if I will ever release it , and even if I do I’ll admit to writing it, obsessing over it and rewriting it on several occasions which isn’t something I normally do.   Yes, I am writing on the elections and where my vote is going.   <<< Que Background Music Now>>> Seriously and sadly my background music of choice might be a funeral march instead of the National Anthem. (I’M JOKING!)   As I write this, I am not looking for an open discussion on my choice for America’s next president.   The choice I’ve come to has...

              I was contemplating today about some of the things I’ve learned through my years writing.   After the holidays I will begin a new YA trilogy, and my brain has finally started to step into brainstorming mode.   Since these books will be #24, #25, and #26 in my list of manuscripts I think that in writing this blog I may have been around this mountain a few times.   I hope my random lessons can help some of you write the visions that God has put in your head. 1)        Write!   My dear late spiritual mentor used to always say, “It’s harder for God to move a parked car than it is for Him to move a moving one.”   Was he belittling the power of God by saying this?   No.   What his point was, is that often you have to just move forward in what you sense God is leading you, and allow God to steer things the way He is guiding you.   People ask me al...

Before Christmas this year I got the opportunity to preach at two Lutheran churches in Ohio. It was a real honor. If you’ve read my book, or been around me a lot you’ll know I talk a lot about us learning in the church to come together as one body. I was raised as a Lutheran girl and getting to go back into two churches like I did to me was like coming full circle a bit. I desire to go and preach wherever the Lord is leading in any denomination, and this was one of those times. The pastor of both churches is a dear friend of mine, and as I write this I’ll ask you to keep her in prayer. My friend had to ask and prepare the council for me coming. I am an ordained pastor, but not a Lutheran one. I don’t know what exactly she said to all those people. She’d been printing various blogs of mine in newsletters for years. I went out of my way in both services to be rather tame. If God would have told me to prophesy to all of them, I might have questioned it but I would have, but He didn’t. ...
