Contest Ideas

Have I mentioned that my husband wrote a book, actually two books?

THE NEW PHENOMENON     and    ON THE RUN

Ok, now that I think about it, I might have mentioned it before. (wink wink) We need some ideas for a contest. The official release date for ON THE RUN is January 15, 2013. I can't believe it but that date is just around the corner. In conjunction with the release we want to run some contests and give away some copies of the new book. You read that right, we want to GIVE AWAY a few copies. Our big dilemma is, how are we going to do that? This is where you come in.

We will have lots of books available for purchase and the author will have his pen in hand read to personalize your book. We look forward to seeing you.

No Room for Pictures

UGHHH!!!

A few months ago my friend Vicki told me about her Google account being full of pictures...now I am experiencing the same problem.  I have so many things I want to share with you and I can't. So, now I have to figure out what to do.

Since my last post we have had Reagan's birthday party even though her birth fell in September, Olivia's birthday celebration, Emma's vocal concert, decorating the Christmas tree and numerous other important events. Pictures to come later.

When I have more time to dive into this picture deal I will.  Until then I'm open to any suggestions out there.

Totally different topic...
Today I had the privilege of sharing a huge challenge with a friend and then later talking on the phone with a family member in another difficult situation. I am not a person who is well equipped linguistically but from time to time God pours into me the words that others need to hear from Him.  Honestly, I am shocked when I say something profound and then I realize that was not from me, it was from God.  Shortly after these conversations I read a quote from Joyce Meyers. This is good and we all need to be reminded of God's authority over our struggles.

"Even if something happens that you don't like, you are more than a conqueror in Christ!"

What a rich reminder!

Blessings to you and your family. There are so many who could benefit from your prayers, time and financial support.  Look for opportunities to pour into someone else's life. They will be blessed and you will also.
