This wouldn't be funny . . . if it weren't so close to the truth

Tee hee.

That's funny.

When I saw this I thought it was a terrible commercial...not because it was done poorly or something. But it was telling us what we could use, what we were to buy, what we were to drive, etc. And no one, not even police officers, were immune to the "green police." So much for freedom!

Scares me that it's portrayed as funny that we are being policed to be good stewards. I agree with taking care of the earth, but it's gone past individual responsibility.

Heavenly Daze Cruise Pictures

I wanted to post some of the pictures from the Heavenly Daze cruise. Here's a sampling. The first picture is an iguana in the wild--they run around all over the place down there, and our guide assured us that this 18 inch guy was a little one. :-) [You can click on the photos to enlarge.]

The second picture is of the Tampa skyline, and this is to answer Clyde's question about which building was the setting for THE ELEVATOR. It's the fifth building from the left, the one with the thin towers on top. It looks short in the photo, but it's set behind the others (though it's certainly not the tallest building in Tampa).

The third photo is of most of our group on "dress up" night for dinner. :-) The men were dressed up, too, but none of them apparently made it into the picture.

The fourth shot is something you don't see every day--two ships parked side by side. Our ship, the Grandeur of the Seas, and a Celebrity Ship.

Finally, the last shot is of Barbara West, who opened our first meeting with a fun game. And we owe a huge round of appreciative applause to Linda Gordon, who coordinated the entire event. Thank you so much!

Sounds like you had a great time!

Thanks for the snap of "The Elevator" tower, Angie. Your shot of the two ships is fabulous! I say again, you could easily provide photos for a coffee table book. I had a WONDERFUL time. Thanks to all who made it so. Clyde

Heavenly Daze Cruise Report

We had a wonderful time on the Heavenly Daze cruise to Cozumel. It was such fun to finally meet so many "Dazers," people who belong to the Heavenly Daze yahoo group and who have corresponded and prayed for each other for years. Lori Copeland and I answered their questions and led discussions on each other's books--fun! Then we worshipped together on Sunday morning.

And we got to roam around Cozumel on Saturday--and I got to practice my Spanish! I happily asked how much several items cost, but the answer came so fast, I had to stop and say, "I think you'd better tell me that answer in English." LOL! Fortunately, most people in the shops spoke English a lot better than I spoke Spanish, but at least I am getting better.

Nothing is as relaxing as a cruise. Every night feels like you're being rocked to sleep in a cradle . . . so roll on, sea, roll on!

Enjoy the photos!

Oooh, don't tempt me!

BTW, I thought of you as I was reading Beguiled by Deeanne Gist and J. Mark Bertrand. The main character is a dog-walker. And one of her "clients" is a mastiff!

So sweet . . .

Someone posted these pictures of a newborn colt . . . so precious. Nothing like a mother's lap, no?

If the Lord wills, we have docked in Tampa and are home from our cruise with the Heavenly Dazers. Traveling is nice, but coming home is wonderful!

Hope you had some Heavenly Daze on your cruise!

Book of the Month: WHY I STAYED, by Gayle Haggard

This month we do have a new release, but it's not a novel--it's one of the collaboration projects I've been involved in. It's Gayle Haggard's story, WHY I STAYED.

You can read the first chapter here.

Whenever these collaborative books come out, I always receive a flurry of emails from people who want me to tell their story in a book, but it doesn't work that way. I don't meet the people who have the story until after they've contracted with a publisher; then it's the publisher who contacts me to see if I'm interested in working alongside.

When my agent first contacted me with news of Gayle's forthcoming book, I was a little hesitant--first of all, I hadn't kept tabs on the Ted Haggard story, and I didn't even know they were still together. I assumed not--after all, if any woman had a biblical reason for divorce, Gayle Haggard did. When I heard that Gayle was still with Ted, my thoughts jumped onto the same assumption that I've heard coming from several major newscasters--Gayle Haggard must be one of those women who simply can't imagine herself without the powerful man she married. Still, I was intrigued, so I agreed to do the project.

When I met Gayle (we were cloistered in a lovely bed and breakfast to work for three days), I soon found out that my assumption couldn't be more wrong. Gayle is a VERY strong woman, a leader in her own right, the mother of five children, and anything but a powerful man's doormat. She's very bright, extremely articulate, and quite brave . . . and I found myself caught up in her story. I learned a lot through the writing of it, and I've learned that just because God allows us a way out of a tough situation doesn't mean we should automatically take it. Instead the best thing--the godly thing--is to choose to stay and tough it out through the hard times.

Whenever I think of Gayle's story, I think of my book, THE PEARL, in which I wanted to explore what happens when God calls us through the valley of the shadow and we don't want to go. Or we go (because we have no choice), but we go kicking and screaming. I've done that . . . how about you?

In any case, I soon discovered that working on WHY I STAYED was a blessing for me. Gayle is a treasure, Ted is a gem, and I love them both. And this book is more than a story--it's a life lesson for all who believe. A lesson wrapped in love.

Pick up a copy today (and no, I don't get royalties). :-) I promise you'll be blessed.

I saw Gayle and Ted on Oprah and was kind of disappointed. I wanted to hear more about the healing of their marriage and what they are doing now. None of that was discussed. It was actually a quite shallow interview. Typical for Oprah, I guess. I probably should not have expected more.

Mocha with Linda Says: 9:07 AM

I'm glad to see this BOM and I love seeing your perspective. I don't care for the mega-church popular pastor personna, so I would not have given this a second look if you hadn't been the one to write it with her. Now I'm intrigued.
