Pina Coladas and the Pearly Gates
My groovy girlfriends and I attempt to uncork the truth concerning Christians and alcohol consumption in the fourth book of our Powder Room Series, "Pina Coladas and the Pearly Gates," in our usual bubbly way. With our hearts on our sleeves, we mine the depths of the Bible, examine historical data and stats, and search our hearts, consciences, experiences, victories and regrets for the answer to: "Is it OK for Christians to drink?" This is an excellent book for group study! Pina Coladas and the Pearly Gates is available in bookstores and in online bookstores now. If you order any book in the Powder Room Series, please send me a copy of the receipt, and I'll send you an autographed plate for each book you order.

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Hebrews 13:8
When I was small, my sister told me that umbrellas grew in the rain, that they bloomed into large, fully grown umbrellas. The closed-up ones had to get wet before they got bigger. It made sense to a five-year old who also believed that pinecones turned into porcupines when watered, pussy willows grew to be cats, and lightening was God taking a picture of me. I used to look up at the sky and grin from ear to ear so He could get a good shot of me!
My perception of the world had an innocent patina that faded as I grew older, except for one belief that remained steadfast: My Aunt told me stories about Jesus, a man who came to save the world and loved me so much He died for me so that we could spend eternity together. He walked on water, healed the sick, and rose from the grave. These truths have never lost their luster.
Perceptions change but God's faithfulness is steadfast.
