I was doing most of my posting on my blog at: www.dailysignsofhope.com. I will still post there everyday, but I want ot post more here, because this is where I can talk most about my writing. Especially about my latest book, ” Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.” It came out last October, and it is selling well. 

It reaches out to those who suffer from, Anxiety, fear, depression, addictions, self-doubt, hopelessness, etc.

Why do we spend so much of our days worrying about something that may never happen? I was very good at this many years ago. I would build up the pity party list of worries, and send out invitations to people to come and feel sorry for me.

I finally figured out that 99% of what we worry about never happens, and there other 01% should be turned over to God.

Stop wasting your live worrying. Spend more time enjoying your life knowing that God is there for you. If we have God on our side, who can be against us?

                                               You Were My Church

The young man seemed to be a loner. He didn’t make many friends. He was one of those guys who had spiked hair, black fingernails, and a chain hanging out of his pocket.  

A local church started a new program where senior citizens were placed with teens to become their prayer partners at school.

One elderly couple decided that they wanted to take part in this mission. They came to the director and asked to be assigned a child. The director look at his list, frowned, and said, “We don’t have anymore kids to assign.

The couple was insistent, and finally the director said. ” I have one boy that no one seems to want. He is a loner at the school.

The elderly couple said they would take the young man.

The young man didn’t really want to be assigned, but the school liked the program, and insisted.

Things didn’t seem to be going well. The elderly gentleman tried everything he could to communicate with the boy. The boy didn’t even use complete sentences to reply. Here is one conversation.

Elderly man: Do you like school?

Young man: Yeah.

Elderly man: “Have you had any problems we could pray for?”

Young man: “Nope.”

Elderly man: “Do you need any support for anything?” 

Young Man: “Nope!”

You can imagine how it felt having every conversation one sided.

Th e couple stayed with the boy all the way through high school. The boy never really opened up much to them.

Then the husband died. There was a funeral, and the elderly lady was there greeting people.

One young man with slicked down hair and nice clothes came up and gave the woman a hug. She didn’t think much of it because she didn’t recognize him.

The boy said, “Don’t you know me? I was the guy you helped through high school.”

The elder lady looked astounded and said, We lost track of you, and you never came to church the whole time we were praying and talking to you.”

The boy only made one other statement and then he moved on. He said, “You were my church.”

You never know when you have made an impact on someone. Just being a good example and supporting someone who needs it can change lives.

(This was a true story!)

I remember the saying, “Victory in the jaws of defeat.” It was  a slogan for some sports program.

It is telling us that we never know when we may pull out a last minute victory.

Well…what about those of us who haven’t found that victory? What about you? Have you tried many time to claim victory, but the walls were to high, and many doors slammed in your face?

You certainly aren’t alone. I have talked to many people at my book signings who have faced depression, anxiety, fear, hopelessness, self-doubt, addictions, and many more demons they face each day.

Some of the people are repeat buyers of the book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.” They have come back to share their testimony and buy the book for other people who are suffering as well.

One lady said, ” I bought your book and started reading it. I had to come back and get three more for my children. It is a much needed book for today’s world.”

Another person sent me a note with her payment for the book that she ordered right from this site. She said, ” My son is going through some hard times, and I know this book will reach out to him and give him strength, as it has me.”

Go to the top of this page and click on “bookstore. ” When you do, you will see a description of the book, and a picture of the cover. If you like what you read and see, please order a book. Hopefully you will be sending me a comment as well.
