I have a book signing coming up on August 24th that runs for 11 straight days to September 3rd. It is at the Oregon State Fair, in Salem, Oregon. There is an author’s table in the AmeriCraft building, which was once called the Jackman-Long building. I will be there from 10:00am-9:00pm everyday. Come out and say hello if you live close.

Many of you have come by to say hello. Thank you for that. You also picked up some business cards. If you decide you would still like to buy a book, you can by just putting in the underlined or marked site I put on the card, and you will come to this site, or my blog at www.dailysignsofhope.com. Then just click on the Amazon.com icon on the right, and you can order the book, or order the eBook there.

If you order the hard copy book from either site, you will get an autographed copy.

Thoughts just for you…

I have certainly enjoyed my time meeting so many new people at the fair. It has also been a very grueling task, of eleven hours days. That can take a toll on a person. I have a feeling that I will need a couple of days of doing noth9ng when my time at the fair is over.

Are you tired and weary of the rat race you have to face every day? Are there times you wish you could stay home and not face the storms of life that are waiting for you?

The rat race is over bearing at times, but realize that even rats rest. They take time out from their causing a mess to sleep and get ready for the next day of causing trouble.

You need to need to rest as well. Be like the mighty ocean tides. They come rushing in and out everyday. But, at a certain point in the tide, there is no movement at all. It is called “high tide.” It is when the water isn’t going in any direction. It lasts for only a few minutes, but the tides rests just the same.

You don’t need to get caught up in the rat race. You can still achieve many things by doing a normal daily routine. You don’t have to climb up that business ladder to be successful. Beside it can be slippery and you could quickly slide right back down to the bottom.

Enjoy life, and rest in the peace of God. He will even give you rest during the worst of times you have in the muck and mire.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Thoughts just for you….

When we feel down and out, we need to stop hanging our heads low and look up. Look up to our heavenly Father, who is always there to listen and guide us through the muck and mire.

I have been to the bottom of the deepest pits. I have been at knocking at death’s door. I had a time when I wanted to check out of this hotel called earth.

I forgot God was with me, and tried to solve my problems on my own. It was too over whelming for me. I felt lost, and unloved, even though I had a happy marriage, three children, and seven beautiful grandchildren.

I allowed Satan to attack my thinking and he was about to hang me up on his trophy wall.

I cried out to God, and He pulled me out of the muck and mire, and has held my hand ever since. He was there all the time, but I didn’t see Him, because I was looking in the wrong direction.

Don’t let this world overcome you. Let God guide you down the right path, and learn from the tremendous love He has for you.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

Above all….never, ever, give up!

Thoughts just for you…

How many times have you felt alone, depressed, lost, and forsaken? I have been through all of those feeling at one time or another. I was down drowning in the muck and mire, and wondering if I was going to make it.

How did I let myself get to that point? It is all the work of the prince of this world. You can call him Satan or devil, it is the same guy.

He knows when we are at our weakest moments. He is like a roaring lion waiting  to devour us. ( I Peter 5: 8) We have to be alert to all of his tricks.

When we try to wing it on our own is when Satan is at his best. To wing it is like jumping off a cliff without those wings. Your chances are slim or none that you are going to make it.

We need to keep God on speed dial and rely on Him to protect us from the evil one. If we stead fastly cling to God’s promises we will not falter. With God on our side, who can be against us?

Turn your fears, hurts, illnesses, defeats, etc, over to God. He has much bigger shoulders to lean on, and He will take you by the hand and pull you out of that muck and mire. I know he did for me.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

And above all….Never, ever, give up!
