The fact that I haven't posted anything in the last month is not a reflection of inactivity. It is rather the simple reality of having had much too much on my plate. Having too many things on your plate doesn't mean that they are all unsavory or bad, but that they can collectively become somewhat overwhelming
Since the end of February we have traveled to Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh, Roanoke, Columbus, Pigeon Forge, Forest City and back to Raleigh. We have had the pleasure of meeting with hundreds of people concerning our books and have seen some incredible things happen.
Here is a list of just a few of our most exciting developments. Our Christmas book has been accepted and will be available for purchase at that big children's attraction near Orlando, that is led by a mouse. Our books are now available in such locations as Sauder Village in Northern Ohio, Christmas shops in Pigeon Forge, TN and historic sites in Plymouth Mass., We have been approved for distribution by the world's largest distributor of Christian books and literature. We have secured permanent showroom representation in the America's Mart Atlanta, and at the Minnetonka, Minn. gift show. We have attended the regional gift show in Columbus, OH and Boston, Mass.
I have been invited to do events at Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine, the annual Virginia State Readers Association convention, services at several local churches including 1st Baptist Houston, 1st Methodist Pensacola, Woodland Hills Baptist Asheville as well as others. I have been invited to do events at The Miracle Theatre and the Apple Farm in Pigeon Forge. We have scheduled book signings as close as here in Asheville and as far away as Texas. We have invitations to come to Illinois, Wisconsin, Mass., Arkansas, Mississippi, Virginia, Florida, Missouri, Ohio and several other states.
What a whirlwind of developments. There remains the struggle to not overreach our resources, and yet follow God's leading through new and exciting, opening doors. Books continue to be ordered from stores, churches, and individuals throughout the nation and literally around the world. God has been faithful and has given us great individuals to help us see this emerging dream become a reality.
What continues to be amazing is that God has chosen us to help reach children, and their families with the Good News of God's Love, Redemption, and Care. He deserves all of the honor and praise for what He is accomplishing.
