Pray For Me!

Greetings,

As I mentioned last time I have been having trouble coming up with the words it takes to blog on a regular basis.  One of the reasons, I suppose, that I am finding it hard to come up with words is because I have spent a large portion of them in another manner.  I am getting very close to finishing the book I am writing.  It is a memoir of sorts and chronicles the journey that God has placed me on throughout my life.  Christine has helped me separate my ideas and get them in a more chronological order.  The title is The Prodigal Son and My Journey Home.

It still has a way to go until it is ready to be submitted to possible publishers but I am hopeful to get it sent out this fall.  I want to let all of you to know that much of the book has been made possible by this very blog.  Knowing that there are people out there reading my words give me hope and encouragement.  I pray that your journeys to this site has made some small impact on your lives.  I know that it has impacted me in a major way.  Thank you!

I pray that you will, one day, be able to read what I have written.  I think it is a testament to the love of God and that, all of us, are on a journey home.  But, until the day that you have that manuscript in your hands you will have to settle with our chats on this page.  Now that I think of it, I think that would be just fine with me!

I would ask for your prayers as I try and finish this project that has been five years in the making.  May God grant me the words to share and the people to share them with.

Until next time,

Derek
