We Sometimes Wonder Where God is

I just received notice that I will be one of the authors doing signings at the Oregon State Fair this year. That should fun.

If you are in that area from August 26th- September 5th, drop by and say hello!

________________________________________________

I told you that I was in eastern Oregon Visiting my daughter-in-law this week. It has been a wonderful experience. Spending time with her has been a blessing.

I was just outside to get some fresh air, and two quails walked right in front of me. They didn’t seem to be too afraid, as long as I didn’t make any sudden movements.

At night the skies here are incredible. There are no city lights here and the brilliance of the stars takes your breath away.

This reminds me that God created everything we see. The majesty of the snow capped mountains I’ve been seeing all this week are a good example.

Sometimes we wonder if God is there. We have times when everything seems to go wrong. The car won’t start and you are late for work. The illness you thought had gone away is back again with a vengence. That job you have had for years has disappeared.

This brings on the usual suspects we face: anxiety, depression, self-doubt, addictions, fear, etc.

I understand most of those afflictions. I have felt lost, and didn’t know what to do. Then I found that God was there and He has been there for me ever since.

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!!
