(click on title to read full post) I can see that I need to be much more faithful to update this website! We did go to Virginia for Thanksgiving and we did speak to a group while there. George and Carol Anderson graciously opened their home in spite of the many holiday events happening at the time.
We are now at home in Redmond, Washington. The videoing and taping is done, the music is recorded and mixed and most of the media piece is put together. We used an incomplete version in Virginia, but have now gotten most of the parts and pieces added. Of course, we will need more than one version depending upon who is speaking! One thing I know for sure, is that I have no desire to be a movie star!!! Videoing is not really my cup of tea, but one must make sacrifices along the way! we will now be able to send the DVD to Laurie and Timothy Carr and let Laurie do some speaking also!
A few weeks back I did a radio interview, which you can download and listen to in the media department of this website. Interviews are fun, but the time certainly goes quickly. I am loving speaking for various venues- with a MOPS group coming up in a few days.
In April, Tom and I will be going to the Mt Hermon Writers Conference where we will work together for the first time since I have been working in that conference for the last 22 years. During those years, about 1/2 of our wedding anniversaries have occurred while I was at the conference and Tom was somewhere else- like home! I've gotten flowers while there, and one time he surprised me by coming for a couple of days. But this time, we will celebrate our 50th anniversary in the middle of the conference. This year also marks the 40th anniversay of the Mt Hermon Writers conference. So there will be celebrating!
On April 25 I will be speaking at the Beulah Alliance Church in Edmonton, Alberta at their bi-annual womens outreach breakfast. We have dear friends up there, and Tom will probably figure out a way to come with me to visit them for a few days.
Life is full and at times "bittersweet"- and God is faithful. Restoration continues. There IS spring in the dead of winter.
