(Sorry, Bangles)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Last week was pretty intense. Monday finished book. Tuesday sent book off to prospective agent. \u00a0Tuesday evening began prequel to the book I just finished. Wednesday got call that an entry I had in the ACFW Genesis Contest<\/a> for another book had made it to the Semi Final level. Friday email from prospective agent with encouraging words. Saturday signed up for ACFW conference in Dallas, Tx<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday had a Migraine.<\/p>\n

Saturday went to see Casting Crowns,<\/a> Matthew West<\/a>, Royal Tailor<\/a>, Lindsay McCall<\/a> and had a wonderful time reuniting with friends who had been on our mission trip and who work at KTIS<\/a> radio.<\/p>\n

Sunday attended another wonderful (I think, mainly I just remember the migraine) service at Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church. <\/a>Had a nice lunch afterward at Key’s Cafe<\/a> in Woodbury and then strolled around the\u00a0LifeWay store nextdoor<\/a>. I was picking out rack space for when I’m a published author. I figure I’ll be next to Brandilyn Collins.<\/a> I’ve met her and like her. Nice place to be on the shelves unless someone with a com-cot last name comes between us. (Wishful thinking picking rack space, but I’m an optimist and this all feels very right and blessed as of last week.)<\/p>\n

Today? \u00a0Replaced leaking shower temperature control unit\/valve without major mishap. Started Spring cleaning of house. Will write tonight and then go to work.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow? \u00a0God will make that all work out. For right now I’m going to go sit on the couch with my beloved wife and have some quality time.<\/p>\n

Lest I forget, I really appreciate all of you who drop by here to take a minute. The readership has gone up 1000 fold in the last 8 months. From me to about 1000 people a week. Either a lot of you have not much to do, or I’m blessed with some loyal people who enjoy the bon-mots from time to time.<\/p>\n

Oh, one final thing: go buy a copy of John Otte’s<\/a> novel, FAILSTATE<\/a>. Truly enjoyable. John says it’s for young adults. It is for anyone who likes science fiction and has ever been a young adult. I pray it does well, he deserves the success with this book. It was a great read.<\/p>\n
