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!

I am pretty excited about being able to be one of the authors who will be signing their books at the Oregon State Fair, in Salem Oregon this year. It is a great opportunity to meet new people, and get the word out about my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

The fair runs from August 26th-September 5th. I will be there 12 hours  a day, every day. If I live through it alive I will be blessed. (I will be blessed even if I don’t live through it! 🙂

If you live close, please drop by and say hello. Above all, if you would be so kind, could you tell a couple thousand of your closest friends that I will be there?

I had a high school class reunion on Saturday. It was good to see so many of my classmates there. Had dinner with two of them. I even sold two books. That was a nice bonus.

Why is it is so hard for people to be submissive? That seems to be a dirty word with a lot of people, because they have to give up something. They are not willing to stop their sins, or so called freedoms, and submit to God.

Is it so hard to give up that fancy boat, or car? Do you need to live in that mansion?

I have felt I would like to live the “better,” life many times. I see a house on the top of a hill that has six bedrooms, and a four car garage, and wonder how nice that might be?

The I wonder if I would really be happy? Wouldn’t I then want an even bigger house, because the neighbors down the road build a house with one more bedroom? Maybe they had a fancier car? I may want to go  and buy a better one just to say I had the best car in the neighborhood.

It gets crazy. It like we all are in a rat race to out do each other. Well, think on this…. even rats rest once and a while!  

I have decided that I am “okey dokey” with what I have. I can be happy with what God has given me.

As a matter of fact, Joshua said it for me… “For me and my house, We will serve the LORD.”

Remember: Never, ever, give up!
