I’ve been blogging at Christian Momlogic and the discussions have been great. Check out these posts:
- Taking the Long View of Parenting - Do you ever feel like having a meltdown when your child is having his or her own? Do you want to do a smackdown when your teen says, “I hate you”? What is the key to long-term parenting when parenting “in the moment” isn’t cutting it.

What I’m up to. . .
I’ve recovered nicely. The surgery couldn’t have gone better. I have five small stitches lining my upper lip, kind of like a small caterpillar.
Last night I got to hang out with 20 women in a new small group for moms. The win/win for me is that I knew about half of the women well, but made 10 new friends. I had an outline, handouts, you know, the usual, but the discussion took on its own life as women opened up, shared their doubts, encouragement, and honestly looked at hard parenting can be sometimes.
I love talking to the crowds, but wow I love sitting in the small settings among friends talking about things that women care about.
I couldn’t sleep last night because I was already thinking about next week’s topic: parenting styles - authoritive, permissive, and authoritarian. Fun stuff, right?
I am also having a blast at Momlogic as the host of the new community, Christian Momlogic. We are growing, and this week we talked about the challenges of parenting a young teen. Next week we are talking about “Is There Really Sex After Kids?” with author and parenting and marriage expert, Jill Savage.
Believe me, it was a fun and enlightening conversation and it should be a good week. I hope you’ll join us at Christian Momlogic!
Also, I’ll be a guest on WLGT LIVE Radio tonight. 8 p.m. EST. Call in!

Interview: Amy Hammond Hagberg, Part 2
Suzie and Amy Hammond Hagberg continue conversation from yesterday about How Do You Know God is Real?
Suzie: I love stories. Many times I sit in church, and it’s not the sermon or the music that moves me, but what I see happening in the lives of those around me — simply because of a relationship with Christ. What was your most interesting interview, and why?
Amy: Now, THAT is a tough question! I truly enjoyed speaking with all of the participants in my book series for different reasons. Of the athletes, Dwight Howard from the NBA’s Orlando Magic (also on the dream team at the Beijing Olympics) was probably one of my favorites.
First of all, he is an absolutely amazing athlete—he is currently ranked #1 in the league for both rebounds and blocks. (more…)

An Interview w/Amy Hammond Hagberg, Part 1
Amy is an author and host of a radio talk show called God Unplugged. I recently read her new book with the same title in a series titled,“How Do You Know He’s Real?. Amy interviewed musical artists, Olympic athletes, and others who say that knowing Jesus transformed their lives. Thanks for joining me and Amy as we talk about her new book, writing, and living faith in a real world.
Suzie: Hi Amy, thanks for joining me today. Your radio show and your book is called “God Unplugged”. What does that mean to you?
Amy: You know, Suzie, as Christians we too often put God in a box. We have a tendency to keep Him at arms length and only focus on that relationship at church on Sunday mornings. The idea behind “God Unplugged” is to take Christ out from behind the pulpit and to allow Him to be an integral part of every aspect of our lives… because Jesus is not just for Sundays!
That means bringing God to work with us, into the classroom, and into our homes on a full-time basis. If you are having trouble with your family, God wants to be part of that. If you are struggling in school, God wants to walk right beside you there as well. God wants to be there for you in the big things and the small… he’ll help you manage a crisis or addiction, but He’ll also help you find your car keys! (more…)

An Uncommon Woman: Susie Larson
Suzie interviews Susie Larson, author of The Uncommon Woman: Making an Ordinary Life Extraordinary
Suzie: Hi Susie. I just finished the preview copy of The Uncommon Woman and it’s a great book. Thanks for joining us. Let’s jump in! What is your definition of an uncommon woman?
Susie Larson: First of all, Suzie, I want to thank you for taking the time to read the book and for interviewing me. I’m passionate about this topic because I believe churches, families, and communities will be strengthened when we as women rise up to the high call on our lives.
~ An Uncommon Woman is Not Defined by What She Does, but Whose She Is ~
An uncommon woman has determined to believe the beautiful truth about herself; that she is called to something so much greater than the pettiness, drama, and gossip common to women. The uncommon woman embraces a holy confidence and humble dependence that declares, “I’m nothing without Christ, but everything to Him.”
She is willing to reach for the stars and do things way over her head (without pride). And she is willing to do things that seem beneath her (without self-awareness). She’s not defined by what she does, but by the fact that Jesus has made her whole and He has equipped her to do mighty things.
Suzie: You say that an uncommon woman “gets back up again”. How is that possible? (more…)

Wonderful article in Muskogee Phoenix
I love it when I meet someone from my own hometown that has read one of my books, or an article, and they stop to talk about it. This is an article in the Muskogee Phoenix published on Sunday. Thanks, Phoenix!
Local author to be interviewed live on “The Harvest Show”
Author Suzie Eller of Muskogee believes that youth culture shifts at an amazing rate.
She will share her opinion during an interview on “The Harvest Show” on LeSEA global broadcast network, which reaches 46 million homes in North America, and will air three times on Friday.
“I’m just excited to have my seven to 10 minutes to talk about my passion for faith and for today’s teen,” Eller said. “And then it’s back to work on my next deadline.”
Eller is the author of five books and hundreds of articles, and a parenting and youth culture columnist.
“Today’s 13-year-old experiences unique pressures, technological advances, and issues than the college freshman who was 13 just five years earlier,” Eller says.

Interview with author, Miralee Ferrell
I just finished the fiction novel, The Other Daughter. I invited the author, Miralee Ferrell, to talk about her new book and the issues behind the story.
Suzie: Miralee, this is your first published book. Tell us a little bit about your writing journey.
Miralee: Hi Suzie, it’s great to have a chance to chat with you. I started writing seriously with the thought of publication three years ago. The Lord spoke to me through a special speaker at church when he prayed for me. He felt the Lord was saying that I needed to be writing, and whatever I chose to write should be published. I prayed about it for over two weeks, and decided the Lord was nudging me that direction.
I started by writing my memories since my husband and I met 33 years earlier, with the things we’ve encountered and the spiritual applications. From that, I moved to short stories (non-fiction) and had three of them published in magazines. Then a friend and fellow author suggested I try Christian fiction. I didn’t think I could do it, but came up with a story line who’s inception was an incident in our past, then embroidered and changed it fiction. (more…)
