Elections, Evolution, and Ecstasy


You're probably wondering what the relevancy of the title of this blog could possibly be. Today is November 4th, 2008. We are truly blessed to live and work in a country governed by democracy. When we look across the globe, there are few who enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted. If you are concerned for the future of America, for our children, grandchildren, and those we love, please use your voice and VOTE!


Today also happens to be the official release date for The Promise: Touching the Stone. Many of you have read the book, but if you haven't, I encourage you to consider it. If you are like I am--questioning the world, the economy, wondering if there is hope for the future, The Promise poses substantial, yet similar challenges to the characters, Chance and Lauren. I would love to hear from readers here on the blog and also on Amazon so that others can be touched by your words regarding how you have been impacted by all three stories--The Bracelet, The Touchstone, and The Promise. I call the writing of these stories "the evolution of faith" because I'm certain that my faith, and I hope the faith of those who have read all three books, has grown tremendously and come full circle through the stories. The books are now all available on Amazon and other major sites, can be requested through book stores, and I continue to provide signed copies by request.


Finally, ecstasy, a synonym for paradise, rapture, seventh heaven, bliss, delight, elation, euphoria, exaltation, happiness, heaven, joy. All of this and much more came to us on October 18th with the birth of our precious grandson. His name is Dawson Richard, he weighed 9.07 pounds, and he is truly a gift from God--a shining light in our lives. We count our blessings...and I wish many for each of you.
