The Next Step

Well, I scraped off the bottom of my shoe, and took another step. :-) Thanks to my dear friend and financier, I just signed a contract with our publisher to have Books 2 and 3 published. They will appear mainly in e-book formats, with some print-on-demand hard copies. I'll keep you posted on their progress. Look for them much later this year. As always, I look forward to hearing your feedback. Thank you so very much to everyone who has shown an interest in me, my music, and my stories. May God bless each of you even more richly than He has blessed me.

Glitz, Glam, and...

A friend once asked me, "If you become famous, will you be able to handle the glitz and glam?" I thought of that question today...while picking up dog poop. I realized then that I am not a master, but a servant, and I always will be. Not only am I a servant of the Word, but also of words. It seems that I am a slave to the ideas and conversations that pop into my head. I've told my wife and friends that I am nothing more than a glorified typist. And it's true. Many times I have felt like I was taking dictation, having to tell Logan and Mindy, "Hey! Slow down a minute! Let me catch up." So I'm left to wonder, can a servant ever prepare for glitz and glam? I suppose that I could, because somehow or someway, it will always be smeared with dog poop. (I would insert an image here, but I think you get the picture). Come what may, I take my life as a servant one step at a time. I just have to be careful where I step.
