Never, Ever, Give up!

I am finally back from two different trips I took.

The first trip was to the Oregon Christian Writer’s Conference in Turner, Oregon. It was a great time of meeting with agents, and publishers, plus an  outstanding list of workshops and coaching classes.

I then went to Central Oregon, and spent four days with my son and daughter-in- law. It was a great time of relaxing and catching up. We went fishing to three different lakes in the area. I never even got a bite all three days, but the time with my family was wonderful.

I want to remind you that I will be at the Oregon State Fair starting this Thursday the 25th, through Labor Day September 5th, signing my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”  Drop by and say hello if you happen to come to the fair. I would love to see you.

I had a wonderful birthday yesterday. Went to the Oregon coast, and had dinner. Sat by a huge window and was able to see the sun set while I enjoyed my dinner. Doesn’t get much better than that.

We all know that we don’t always have special days. Some days seem like eternity. They have several storms come through to ruin your day. I know you have been there. I certainly have. You turn down the wrong street and then are late to work. You forgot you have steaks on the BBQ and now you have black  squares of nothing. The dog bites the neighbor, and they are suing.

I am sure you have many other stories to share. What does this do to people? I know what it does! It causes anxiety, fear, depression, self-doubt, low self-esteem, and even hopelessness.

You don’t have to let any of these afflictions overcome you. 

You know that you have a heavenly Father who will be there to hold your hand through all the storms. He doesn’t stop them, He is just there to help calm them.

I have written a book called, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” that speaks to all of these afflictions and more. It has chapters on persistence, prayer, and perseverance. It covers ways to cope, and how to be strong during the trials of life.

Right now there is a big sale going on for the book. In the retail stores it prices is $19.99, but on this site it is only $15.99. The shipping has been cut in half as well. A total savings of over $7.00.

To order go up to the top of this page and click on, “Bookstore.” You will see a description of the book, and a copy of the cover. If you want to read some endorsements of the book you can click on…. you guessed it….”endorsements” at the top as well.

Hope you will take time to check it out.

Never, ever, give up.

You Have no Equal. You are One of a Kind.

What does it mean to be unique? Well, Websters Dictionary says:

“1. Existing as the only one of a kind. 2. Having no equal; unparalleled.”

Does that fit you? Do you feel unique? Maybe you don’t. Maybe you feel like the world is pulling you down like a huge magnate, and you have no meaning; no purpose in life.

Time to put a stop to that, my friend!

God made you and then through away the mold. You are  one of a kind. You are placed on this earth for a purpose.

I didn’t always believe that myself. When I retired from teaching, I didn’t have a clear road ahead of me. I wondered, “What now?” I didn’t feel very unique at all. As a matter of fact on March 31st, 2001, I was sitting in my Explorer trying to decide if I wanted to check out of this hotel called earth. God got in the Explorer with me and held my hand. He showed me I was still unique, and had a purpose  to follow from God.

That purpose was writing my book, “Signs of Hope: ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.” God had me write this book to reach out to those who may be at the same spot I was in my Explorer. I relate them them, and share words of hope, and survival.

There have been many people who have bought this book, who have called, emailed, or told me n person, that this book was written just for them and it gave them the tools to face the daily battle of life.

Never, ever give up!
