Preparation

My mother is coming! :-) And it is good. After being disappointed about not going on vacation over our birthday and anniversary, my mom and stepfather came to the rescue and agreed to come a couple of days early for their visit to play with the kids. Please pray for their safe travel as they are driving up across the country, headed in this direction. It will only be for about two and a half days and then we will be home.

I need the break away from work...a nice get-away to our home away from home. Frankenmuth, what a sweet little town, we just love it there. We can feel God's peace on the town. I'm hoping to meet Mr. Bronner again, but if not, I will leave a copy of my book for him along with the picture we took last year at his book signing. He will remember me. What a nice man!

I have a ton of things to do today to prepare for mom's visit and it's going to be very hot outside, so I will have to do my outdoor chores early. Of course, I do have to wait for the hay maker to come out and give me some light first. :-) And hopefully, my back holds out.

I haven't written much this week. I wrote one story to enter into a contest and have gotten good reviews so far. I've sold quite a few books and ordered my second hundred. I've been working on Journey; it's almost ready for print. So, the next funds go to printing Journey!

Also, I've been letting people know that I'm available for speaking engagements at churches. As scary as that is, I know it's God's time and will. So, I will be preparing something on paper but I know once I get in front of people, it will only come from my heart. I've done it before, but it's been years ago. God is up to something good. :-)

Well, dear readers...I think I'll go work on building that computer and getting that off of my list.

God bless you!
