Summer is drawing to a close! It's August (my birthday month!) and soon school will resume.
It's been a quiet summer here. A little biking, a little swiming, a little travel. Mostly staying "closeta home" as we say in the south, working from the home office. I went to Georgia to spend time with family and friends, did some research for my next project, etc.
The most dramatic thing that has occurred in our family is my husband's "cardiac event" and heart surgery. He's fine now. We're fine now. But it was a pretty scary time. Now we are all about getting heart healthy.

Update From My Desk
I am excited about three books about to be released.

Let Us Pray
Pray for Milton Dykes. His wife--my friend Kristy--lost a battle with brain cancer but won the war of life. She is with Jesus now but Milton is left here, missing her terribly. If you'd like to know more, go to Christian Love Stories.
Would you pray for my ministry as well. God knows what I need. He is my Jehovah Jireh, the Lord my Provider. Thank you.
