Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?
I immediately thought of the verse, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” (Psalm 122:6) Jerusalem means the country in which I live. When I’m patriotic, I’m praying and acting on behalf of my home.
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
My biggest scary situation is being well-known. But, stepping out in faith in my creative work may bring that result. So I will trust God for ways to manage that fear.
There are many jewels in the Christmas spirit. And finding a few satisfies the heart.This is where I found my Christmas jewels. The church was full on Christmas eve, and I sat with the love of my life about midway back. I was happy. One of my dearest jewels sat beside me!Yes, here I am with my love!Last night, though, I found some additional jewels. Two airplane pilots sat directly behind me in the pews, Monica and John. I don’t have photos of them. But, in our one meeting, we shared our stories, talking and listening to each other. Now I have two more jewels!
Let me know how many jewels you found this Christmas!
Please note that my third novel, The Horned Edge has a Christmas chapter in it. Like me, the main character Lewis is happy at the Christmas eve worship service. He suffers plenty of trouble in the rest of the book, but on this special beauteous night, he enjoys the Christmas spirit.
For only $10.99, you can buy and read The Horned Edge, a sci-fi adventure and romance book here!
The book is available in Kindle, paperback ($10.99!!!), hardback, and audiobook formats.
