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.

Digging Out

Posted on July 5, 2014 by Jan C. Johnson

It’s happened again… A busy summer full of family graduations, weddings, helping kids move hither and yon, travel, cycling, not finding time to write because I’m trying to get ready for writers’ groups (what’s up with that??) — and right … Continue reading →

Saul, or Paul?

Posted on June 16, 2014 by Jan C. Johnson

Not long ago I was reading about the “Damascus Road” experience, which you may have heard of. It seems a Jewish religious leader named Saul was traveling toward Damascus from Jerusalem. Well, “traveling” makes it sound like a vacation. Actually … Continue reading →
