Find Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World

I am enjoying some time visiting my daughter-in-law in LaPine, Oregon. It is way out in the middle of central Oregon away from any big cities, and at night there aren’t any city lights. I am able to type this around a camp fire tonight, and be able to see the Big Dipper about as clear as you could possibly see it. The stars tonight are aglow with the splendor that only our God could create.

Do you see the lights well? Is the hindrance from outside sources making your view of the lights dim?

Many of us have been there. At one time I was totally in the dark, feeling around trying to find my way in life. I battled depression, anxiety, fear, self-doubt, and many of the other afflictions that block our view of life.

Then I opened my heart to the LORD, and the lights came on. I could see for ever. I knew that the LORD took on all of my afflictions  so that I would have the burden of them anymore.

Stop letting the world pull you down like a huge magnate. Turn all your worries over to the LORD.

Many of the afflictions I spoke of above are part of a new book I have written called, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

This book covers ways to cope, if you have faced any afflictions that are causing you to only see foggy days, and dreary nights.

There is a special sale going on right now. The regular price in the stores is $19.99, and juts on this site it is $15.99. The shipping cost has been cut in half as well. A total savings of over $6.00.

You can check it out by going up to the top of this page and clicking on “Bookstore.” It will shows you a description, and a picture of the cover. I hope you will take a second to do that. There have been some wonderful reviews coming in for the book.

If you want to see some endorsements, you can also go to the top of this page and  click on “endorsements.”

God bless…. AND never, ever give up!

When We’re lost in a Storm, God makes it a Beautiful Sunset

There is a huge happening on my blog at www.dailysignsofhope.com.  In the last four days over 700 people have signed up for the RSS feed. There is no concrete reason for it happening except for a lady friend of my partner and I suggested we use more of our SEO capabilities, and that is all she said. We are thinking that since she is an expert, she did something to help us by backtracking, or pinging back our site to her own site which has thousands of followers. What ever happened, God certainly has some kind of plan ahead. Stand by and see what that may be.


BTW…. You could do two things on this site as well.. You could also click on the RSS feed area at the top of this page and sign-up to get feeds directly to your mail box from this site. I would honored if you did.


You can also go over to the right side bar, and click on “Follow this blog,” at the NetworkedBlogs icon. You can see that there are already many people doing that there.

I went to a workshop last night, and I had a pleasant surprise. The guest speaker was Sean Jones, who is the person who is the acquisition editor at Inkwater Press.


I met with him afterwards, and mentioned that I am looking for a traditional publisher to publish my self published book.


He was very open to the idea, and told me to send him a copy of my book.


Now, that would have never happen if I didn’t go to that workshop. I almost didn’t. I was tired and had a slight fever. I went anyway, and a door opened!!

That brings to mind that we never now when God may open a door for us. It may seem like we are sinking in the muck and mire, but God still may have plans for us. We need to keep praying and asking God for guidance.


Just when we feel all is lost in the storm, God changes the whole horizon into  a beautiful sunset.

Death has no Calendar

There is something big happening at my blog: www.dailysignsofhope.com  In just the last 24 hours 226 people have subscribed to the RSS feed for the site. It seems to be because of my post on Saturday 6-4-2011, called “It is Time to Put Out the Embers of Hate.” It has touched my people. If you have time, go there and see what all the fuss is about.

I am still battling ailments with my heart. I had a pacemaker check yesterday and they found that I’ve had a heart attack on February 15th. It is called “a silent attack,” because I didn’t know it happened. It had to have happened in my sleep.

It was on the moderate level. That means I am very lucky, with the grace of God, to be here typing right now.

I have had a few close calls with death since 2004, and each time I praise God for sparing me, and seek what He has in mind for me.

I know that He wants me to write, and I am doing that daily. I work hard at trying to reach out to people through this author site, and my blog. I also have a published book called, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

It is selling well, and you can take a look at it right here on this site. Just click on the “bookstore,” tab at the top of this page and you will see a description of the book, and a copy of the cover.

If you need to see some endorsements for the book, you can also click on “endorsements,” at the top of this page and see some from all over the United States.

There is a special price going on now for the book. It is selling for $19.99 in the retail stores right now, but you can order a copy right here for only $15.99. The shipping has been cut in half as well. A total savings of over $6.00.

I hope you will check it out. Many of the posts from www.dailysignsofhope.com are chapters in the book, and people love to read them at that site.

REMEMBER!

Never, ever give up!!
