I've come to the conclusion that I have put off the start of my book about my dad's experiences during World War II as a POW far too long. I have been praying about it, worrying about it and avoiding it for as long as I dare and now the Lord is prodding me to take up the pen (or keyboard) and as my daughter-in-law would say, "Get to gettin'!"
So here I am, as always in the wee hours of the morning, wide awake and thinking, "OK Lord, I hear you loud and clear, STOP pushing me." The Lord knows me so well. He knows the only time my mind is quiet enough to hear Him is in the wee hours so that is when he whispers in my mind and I am inclined to drag myself out of my bed where I have been tossing and turning anyway.
So, tonight He said, "Enough is enough already! How much time can one person waste on FarmVille and ZooWorld?" Don't get me wrong. They have been a nice diversion. A place where I have hidden my emotions for the last couple of years. But now is the time to get busy.
So, hello to a new chapter in my life. I hope you will join me and find the journey interesting. Please pray for me as I take this step out in faith. It has been in my heart a long time to do this book as a way to honor my father, my personal hero, and a true American Hero.
