Author: Constance Colson-Clay

I’m a former ECPA Christian bestselling novelist, journalist and educator with twenty plus years of experience teaching kindergarten through university classes in private, public, secular and Christian institutions. I hold a bachelor’s degree in writing and a master’s in literature. My college sweetheart and I have been married thirty-five years, and I’ve homeschooled our children through high school. Our oldest daughter is now a medical doctor, our middle graduated with a bachelor's degree in music composition and our youngest is in junior high. We love performing our original compositions (or doing pretty much anything) as a family.

Beginning with Psalm 104, I skipped only David’s imprecatory rant in 109 and just kept going—until I hit Psalm 119. Screeching halt. No way! Reading … Continue reading Psalm 119’s Surprising Side Effects →

First Things

One Sunday we actually made it to church early, and an elderly saint asked how homeschooling was going. I admitted that some days we didn’t seem to accomplish a thing. “Did you read them the Bible?” she asked. “Yes.” “Then you did accomplish something.” The truth of her words resonated, strengthening with time.
