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.

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!!

People Get Caught up in the Rat Race of Life

Got a call from my cardiologist this morning. He tells me that I have a heart that doesn’t rest. This causes shortness of breath.

We could learn from this. We have days when we should rest, but we get caught up in the rat race of life. We feel we need to reach the next step in the ladder of success.

What if you reach the top of the success ladder? What do you have then? There is only one way to go from there and that is down. The stress of getting there isn’t nearly as bad as trying to stay there.

Slow down and rest. Even those “rats” in the rat race rest once and a while.

I have a whole chapter in my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” dedicated to the battle of the rat race.

We spend too much of our lives coping with anxiety, fear, self-doubt, depression, etc.

The book covers ways to win the battle with these afflictions.

Check out a description of the book, by going to the top of this page and clicking on, “Bookstore.” You will also see a picture of the cover there.

If you want to see some outstanding 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 sale going on right now. The book normally sells for $19.99 in the stores, but it is on sale here  for only $15.99 and the shipping has been cut in half as well. A total savings of over $6.00.
