writing

Good afternoon: We have gotten some more much needed rain. PTL!!! My wife, Bobbie, along with our daughter, Amber, and I ate lunch at the senior center in Walsenburg one day this last week. We sat with an interesting older lady. She has done some writing and currently writes occasionally for one of the local newspapers. She ask if any of us did any writing. I mentioned that I did some. She went on to ask several more questions. The first was, "when did you start writing?" Two thousand and one, was my quick response. "Why did you start to write?" she queried. I took the conversation in a little different direction at this point. I informed her that writing wasn't my idea but Gods. Looking at me with a quizzical look, she asked. "How do you know that?" Giving her a big smile I asked her a question. "That is a pretty heavy duty story. Are you sure you want to hear it?" "Yes," she immediately replied. So, I told her about the voice (literal) that I had a conversation with on August 7, 2001. For those of you that don't know, on that day, I was told that I was to write what would become known as Pixie Howard: Her Adventures in Faith. Sometime, if anyone would like to hear the entire story, I would be glad to share it with you. I hope you have a great week. Blessings, James

rain

Hi: PTL!!! We have gotten some rain! It was getting soooooooo very dry here. Thank You Lord! I have been busy putting up hay. But, with the rain, I can slow down a bit. It is only a little over a month now and the book will be official released. About ten days ago, the Blackwood Brothers were in our little town. Yes! The Blackwood Brothers! Can you believe that? I traded them a book for a CD. So, Choices is getting some good exposure. In this pre-marketing phase, my wife and I have sold about 125 books. I think we have done pretty well. Please remember to pray for us and please express you thoughts on this blog. Also, I hope you enjoy the excerpt. Blessings to you, James

Happy 4th

Happy 4th of July to you and yours;
I hope you were able to attend church today. Sunday was a very special day for the birthday of our nation to fall on this year. We all need to pray that we as a people will return to God, who brought this nation together. We are so swiftly falling away from Him.

We had a very special time in God's house this morning. Choices was dedicated to the Lord during the service! And it was a beautiful moment!! I wish all of you could have been there. The pastor spoke more prophetic messages concerning this God inspired tale. I am looking forward to seeing it all come to pass. Please, continue to pray with me. And please, feel free to write your thoughts on this blog. Blessings to you, James
