I am still battling jet lag from my trip to Wisconsin. It was very relaxing while I traveled, but on the way home, I was already tired, and we had a two hours flight delay. Then when I got home, I was too exhausted to post on our blog. I am getting better as the time goes one, but jet lag is for real, and it has pulled me down like a huge magnate.

One of the things I noticed on my trip is that people are seeking ways to help others even though there is no crises. That is something that has come from the 9-11-01 incident. People in the terminals were letting other people sit that were elderly. They went out of their way to greet others. One person let a another person bump them off a flight, because that person had been waiting so long to get home to their loved ones.

It is too bad we have to face trials and storms to have this happen, but God allowed it to happen and now the results is more caring people and a bonding of the world, in general to never allow terrorist to bully us again into fear and chaos.

The fear of 9-11 may still be lingering in people’s minds, but they have decided that they will not let the bad guys control their lives by making them change their daily routine. I think this is what the terrorist had in mind, and in that case, they have lost.

I failed to mention above that the book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” is on sale on both sites right now. In the stores it is on sale for $19.99, but on our site it is only $15.99. The shipping is cut in half as well. A total savings of over $6.00.

Never let worry take over you life. The statistics show that 99% of what we worry about never happens. All you have to do is give that 01% over to God and let Him carry you the rest of the way.

Never, ever, give up!

The United States Will Not be Bullied Into Fear

I have been  away for over two weeks doing book signings, and traveling across the United States. I am back now, and hope to have a regular posting schedule for the fall.

I want to thank those who have been signing up for the RSS feed for this site. It really makes a difference. If you haven’t done that please do it today.

I told you way back on August 22nd, that I was going to start sharing actual excerpts from my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.” I then took off for several weeks. My apologizes for that. I will explain my absence below.

___________________________________________________

From August 26th-September 5th. I did a signing at the Oregon State Fair in Salem, Oregon. What a great experience that was. I met thousands of people. I handed out over 200 business cards, and sold many books.

I was invited back for next year so I hope to see some of you there.

__________________________________________________________

Form September 6th- 11th, I was traveling the United States by bus, plane, and train.  In future posts I will slowly tell you about how that went. It was a wonderful trip.

I sold three books to people who traveled with me.

_________________________________________________________

One of the things I noticed is how people reacted to the 9-11 day travel. You would think that the terminals would be empty, and no flights would be going on Sunday the 11th.

Just the opposite happened. The terminal were full of travelers, and some flights were over booked.

This proves that the people of the United States will not be bullied into fear. We will withstand any threats, and continue with our lives.

______________________________________________________

I have an exciting announcement to make. By the end of this week I hope to have my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” ready as an e-Book. I will give you the actual publishing date when the time is near.

For now, you can order the book right here on this site by clicking on the “bookstore,” above. It is on a special sale right now. In the bookstores it is $19.99, but if you order from this site it will only be $15.99. The shipping is cut in half as well. A total savings of over $6.00.

Perseverance and Persistence, Two Very Important Words

I want to remind you that I will be at the Oregon State Fair at the Oregon author’s table, signing my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.” The fair starts tomorrow at 10:00am and runs through September 5th. I will be there everyday except the 5th form 10:00am-10:00 pm. Drop by and say hello if you are in the area. The fair is held in Salem Oregon.

I recently was at a Oregon Christian Writer’s Conference in Turner, Oregon,  and learned a great deal. I learned that perseverance and persistence pays off. I scheduled appointments with two agents, and three publishers while I was there.

Both agents wanted me to send them more information on my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to survive in an Unfriendly World.” They felt it had merit, and may want to represent me in the future. This is the first time any agents were interested.

I met with three publishers. All three took my book and asked me to also send them a proposal. This is the first time any publishers were interested.

Do you see a pattern? I have been to this same Oregon Christian Writer’s Conference for four years. I didn’t even get the time of day from any agents or publishers in the past. I stuck to it and kept improving my work. I listened to the  advice the agents and publishers gave me before to improving my chances.

This year, I put all of it together, and I may have worked hard enough to finally have it pay off.  Perseverance and persistence; two of my favorite words.
