About Jan C. Johnson

Welcome! If you like food, reading, laughing over life's little disasters, and maybe thinking about the bigger things of life, you have come to the right place. Besides blogging, I write humorous fiction, though real life tends to leave fictional humor in the shade. But I'm not a total goofball. No, really. I've also written a most riveting memoir--not mine, which would be boring, but rather the life story of an obscure pastor in Liberia, West Africa. His hair-raising memories of the Liberian Civil War years make for some suspenseful reading! Discover more under the "My Books" tab. I live in North Texas with my husband, Brent. We enjoy bicycling, Mexican food, and traveling to visit our kids and grandkids.

“Those” People?

I cannot stay silent in the face of President Trump’s insatiable cruelty. To be clear, as a patriotic American, I value national security, including controlled borders. However, I must object to this administration’s deporting hundreds of immigrants willy-nilly, with no … Continue reading

Stockholm Syndrome

Nobody’s perfect, right? Right. But don’t think this is a throwaway line, an excuse for the wrong stuff we do. The fact is, we’re all guilty. We’ve offended God and deserve judgment. We can’t pay our own penalty. Thankfully, God … Continue reading
