Attended the ALJC Ladies Conference in Frankenmuth March 23-24. It was great being with the ladies from the Publishing House and participating in the wonderful sessions featuring my own dear pastor's wife, Claudette Walker.
Sold lots of copies of Gates & Fences and made contact with wonderful ladies who said they would be taking the resource back to their youth groups.
Reflections magazine notified me they would be publishing a poem and article I wrote in their Spring edition next year.

I Have to Give God the Praise!
I was nervous. I admit it. Several months ago lab results came back out-of-range in a test that checks liver function. My doctor told me we'd wait a few months and check it again. The set time passed, and the second test revealed an even higher elevation of the negative number. I was told to follow up with my surgeon.
On my birthday I had several tubes of blood drawn and extensive bloodwork done. Today I met with Dr. Wood, and he told me that every single level came back within normal range, and I have to thank God for that. And thanks to all that prayed for me.

Book Signing in Louisville, Kentucky
This picture was taken at a book signing this weekend in Louisville, at a Kentucky state-wide ladies conference. I'm thankful for the wonderful response and that so many took home copies of Gates & Fences: Straight Talk in a Crooked World to use in their youth departments.
It's Sunday between services, and I just taught a lesson to our College & Career class about why it's good to wait for the Lord's direction before jumping into dating relationships. The question came up, "Why not flirt to convert? Shouldn't we use every means available to bring people in to church?"
It is always appropriate to be kind ... but flirting plays with peoples' emotions and is not honest in its approach. Read the definition of flirting at: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/flirt.
I would like to give some advice on how Christian singles should conduct themselves with people of the opposite sex. Here's my input:
Exactly as you would if your spouse was in the room with you.
So, there you have it. I got that from a very wise person! I hope it helps.
