Find Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World

I am enjoying some time visiting my daughter-in-law in LaPine, Oregon. It is way out in the middle of central Oregon away from any big cities, and at night there aren’t any city lights. I am able to type this around a camp fire tonight, and be able to see the Big Dipper about as clear as you could possibly see it. The stars tonight are aglow with the splendor that only our God could create.

Do you see the lights well? Is the hindrance from outside sources making your view of the lights dim?

Many of us have been there. At one time I was totally in the dark, feeling around trying to find my way in life. I battled depression, anxiety, fear, self-doubt, and many of the other afflictions that block our view of life.

Then I opened my heart to the LORD, and the lights came on. I could see for ever. I knew that the LORD took on all of my afflictions so that I would have the burden of them anymore.

Stop letting the world pull you down like a huge magnate. Turn all your worries over to the LORD.

Many of the afflictions I spoke of above are part of a new book I have written called, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

People Get Caught up in the Rat Race of Life

Got a call from my cardiologist this morning. He tells me that I have a heart that doesn’t rest. This causes shortness of breath.

We could learn from this. We have days when we should rest, but we get caught up in the rat race of life. We feel we need to reach the next step in the ladder of success.

What if you reach the top of the success ladder? What do you have then? There is only one way to go from there and that is down. The stress of getting there isn’t nearly as bad as trying to stay there.

Slow down and rest. Even those “rats” in the rat race rest once and a while.

___________________________________________

I have a whole chapter in my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” dedicated to the battle of the rat race.

We spend too much of our lives coping with anxiety, fear, self-doubt, depression, etc.

The book covers ways to win the battle with these afflictions.

Check out a description of the book, by going to the top of this page and clicking on, “Bookstore.” You will also see a picture of the cover there.

If you want to see some outstanding endorsements for the book, you can also click on, “endorsements” at the top of this page and see some from all over the United States.

There is a special sale going on right now. The book normally sells for $19.99 in the stores, but it is on sale here for only $15.99 and the shipping has been cut in half as well. A total savings of over $6.00.

I hope you will check it out and see that it is a must read for you or anyone you know who is struggling right now.

Signs of Hope For Seniors: The Alligators That Chase Us

I had an exciting day today. I officially started writing my second book that has a working title of: “Signs of Hope for Seniors: The Alligators That Chase Us.”

It will cover things that seniors have to face as they reached the autumn of their lives.

Some of the chapters at this point are:

Loneliness
Fear
Death
Rejection
Illness
Hopelessness

More chapters may be added as I write, or these may change.

That is what happened in my first book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.” I thought I had a great outline started, but as I wrote I saw other issues that needed to be addressed.

As I write this new book I will be able to speak from experience. I have battle several illnesses. Even to the point of death. I will be able to relate to the fears of the readers I write for.

I have also faced self-doubt, depression, anxiety, fear, and the many other usual suspects seniors face.

As the book unfolds, I will share some excerpts from time to time. Keep coming back to see what is happening with the book, and hear some thoughts I have that may help you as seniors to cope.

______________________________________________

Since we are talking about coping, I would like you to take a look at my first book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

It covers many of the same topics as the new book might cover except it is a survival type manual for all ages, not just seniors.

You can see a description by clicking n the “bookstore,” tab at the top of this page. When you do, you will see the cover as well. If you want to read some wonderful endorsements, you can click on the “endorsement,” tab at the top of this page as well.

There is a special sale going on right now. The book is $19.99 in the stores, but you can get it for only $15.99 right now. The shipping has been cut in half as well. A total savings of over $6.00.

I hope you will at least check it out. I think it can change some lives and help people cope.
