It is Hard to Cope When we Are Rejected

I am looking forward to seeing many of you at the Oregon State Fair, where I will be doing a signing for my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

The fair will be in Salem, Oregon and runs from August 26th-September 5th. I will be there everyday, except the last day, from 10:00am-10:00pm. I will take a meal break sometime during each day.

This is a great opportunity for me. I hope you will drop by and say hello if you are in the area.

When we have so many rejections in our lives, it is hard to keep our heads up and face the world. It is hard enough when we live in the economy we live in now.

So many people out of work. So many people losing their homes. So may people dealing with anxiety, fear, depression, self-doubt, hopelessness, addictions, etc.

Do you fit in there somewhere, or you do you have another affliction I didn’t mention? 

The book I have written, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” talks directly about all of these usual suspects. It covers ways to cope, and to climb over those walls that stop us.

The book has a special price on this site right now. In the retail stores it 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 $6.00.

If you or someone you know is dealing with the burdens of this world, and need thoughts and ideas to help you cope this is a must read.

There have many people who have already bought the book who say that it seemed to be written just for them and that it helped them cope.

I hope you will at least take a look at the book by clicking on the “Bookstore,” tabd at the top of this page.

It will have a description of the book, and a copy of the cover for you to see.

If you also want to see some outstanding endorsements, click on, “endorsements,” at the top as well.

If you have a minute I also encourage you to sign-up for the RSS feed of this site. If you do, you will be notified every time there is a post.

Remember: Never, ever, give up!

We Sometimes Wonder Where God is

I just received notice that I will be one of the authors doing signings at the Oregon State Fair this year. That should fun.

If you are in that area from August 26th- September 5th, drop by and say hello!

I told you that I was in eastern Oregon Visiting my daughter-in-law this week. It has been a wonderful experience. Spending time with her has been a blessing.

I was just outside to get some fresh air, and two quails walked right in front of me. They didn’t seem to be too afraid, as long as I didn’t make any sudden movements.

At night the skies here are incredible. There are no city lights here and the brilliance of the stars takes your breath away.

This reminds me that God created everything we see. The majesty of the snow capped mountains I’ve been seeing all this week are a good example.

Sometimes we wonder if God is there. We have times when everything seems to go wrong. The car won’t start and you are late for work. The illness you thought had gone away is back again with a vengence. That job you have had for years has disappeared.

This brings on the usual suspects we face: anxiety, depression, self-doubt, addictions, fear, etc.

I understand most of those afflictions. I have felt lost, and didn’t know what to do. Then I found that God was there and He has been there for me ever since.
