Clink! Clink! Clink!
Her fever must be higher than she thought, because she can’t believe what she is seeing running down her purple blanket! But everything happening to her is very real, including the fact someone wants her dead. Aimee is thrust into a world of magic, wonder and greed. Her journey takes her from her snowy rooftop, to the streets of New York and the North Pole with the promise to return her father to her family. Who could she trust when things aren’t always what they seem?”
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1
Happy Wednesday! Please excuse my oops from yesterday. I’m embarrassed to say that I mixed up my days.
Have you ever felt torn between being a good Christian and being who the world wants you to be? Have you been guilty of trying to justify today’s watered down standards with the Bible? Do you have a battle in your mind between what is right (what the news media says is right or what the Church says is right)? If you said yes to any one of these questions, it is totally understandable. In today’s society it seems like anything goes. On top of that television news seems to say whatever you want to do is okay. We all know deep down that isn’t the case, but how can you truly know…

If you’re a self-published author, the dream of holding an in-person book signing at a Barnes & Noble bookstore probably seems farfetched.
Yes, the giant retailer sells almost 200 million physical books a year and regularly conducts author events in its stores, but these book events seem to cater only to published authors.
But guess what?
I’m an indie author with one self-published book. As unbelievable as it may seem, my first book signing five months after the book’s release was held inside a Barnes & Noble. I successfully sold a number of books and gained loyal readers.
How did I do it?
By not letting all the what-ifs hiding in my apprehensive author’s mind get in the way. In the end, my determination and patience paid off.
If you’re a self-published author looking for an opportunity to hold a book signing…

This is the King of Loss. I know this loss all too well.
2 Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
I should be happy for you, my Son – I guess that is what this passage is trying to tell me. That is a hard thing for me to process. You are absent from your body, but also absent from our lives. I know you are with the LORD, present before HIM. That must be glorious. At the same time, I know you did not want to leave your family and friends. I know being with LORD is wonderful – but I selfishly want you with me, with us.
GOD, YOU have my baby – I know he is YOUR precious child too. I believe, I know YOU love my baby– so please take care of him.
Help me to focus on the joy he is…
