Rough Draft of the beginning of my next book: Emeline - Big Decisions

Please click below, read, and tell me what you think so far. This will be a young adult novel, full of adolescent struggles, plus history, of course.

One special feature of this new book is the story of the Shatto Dairy in the back matter. I’m excited! The dairy has been kind enough to let me share their story and provide valuable research. Did you know they started in the 1890s? It will be exceptional.

Let me know if any part slows you down. I look forward to reading your comments. Thank you, friends.

Flexibility and Contentment

When things don’t go as planned, what do you do?

• Try to make your plans happen, anyway?

• Throw a fit of anger?

• Cry?

• Go with the flow?

• Make an alternative plan?

God always has a master plan. Sometimes our plans don’t align with His. We can’t see or understand the enormity of His plan, which sometimes includes our disruption, failure, or redirection. Have faith.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 KJV
