Summer has brought its soaring temps and humidity to the south! I pray your days are going well. I wanted to give a brief update on a few items. My recovery is going well and I am back in the pulpit. I really hated missing two Sundays but God provided. Pre-orders are now being taken for Simple Living. I am so excited! I want to thank those who encouraged me to write and many who are supporting this adventure. I think this book can give guidance to many who do not know Christ and those whose faith may have grown weak. Consider buying some copies for friends who need a little laughter in their day and direction along the way.

I pray God's richest blessings on you. Pray for me as I begin to wirte a second book. The working title is, Playing with God. It will be a very challenging book.

Summer has arrived and it is hot! I pray you are having a great and Simple summer. God has definitely slowed me down for a few weeks. On July 3 I had some back surgery and will be recuperating for a few weeks. Nothing major just more time to study and relax. I don't like to slow down so "cabin fever" has set in!

I have learned that there are so many people ready to step up and helpduring times of need. I am reminded how important relationships really are and just how much patience I lack. Soon I will be back in full swing.

Simple Living is the first book I have written. I have several articles published but this is my initial adventure for authoring a book. My hopes are that Simple Living will encourage you to really seek out what is most important in life and pursue it with full passion. We can easily get bogged down in so many ways that we forget what we were created for. I believe that God created life to be lived in a simple but effective relationship with Him.

I recently read an article concerning the pace of life and the need to slow down. In countries where srtess is reduced and life is approached in a more simplistic way, people live longer. God wants us to walk with him every day. It is a slow walk. A walk that is full of conversation with Him. It is a prayer walk. Many times we come to God with our wish list or even our orders for him to fill. After "placing our order" with God we sit back and wait for him to fill our requests.

Prayer should bring obedience on our part. Prayer without obedience is just whinning! God does answer prayer and desires to work in and through our life. Obedience is a must. As you simply walk with God be ready to obey and you will enjoy a fruitful stroll with the One who loves you the most.

You can tell summmer is here by the sounds of children playing and lawn mowers roaring. With school out, the children are on the loose. Summer can be a very busy and expensive time. Parents still must maintain their daily jobs and provide family opportunities to break the boredom cycle. My advice...keep it simple. Time with family is more important than money spent. Many families spend money thay do not have to travel places they have never been to have quality time they never get. Maybe less travel and more "family outings" on the local level would prove to be a better option. Keep it simple. Visit local attraction areas, camp out in the backyard, sit under God's most beautiful painting and enjoy the family without all the "toys" and ratrace of vacationing in far away places. Memories can be made anywhere.

The update on the release of Simple Living...In a Complex World shows that August will be the month this book becomes available. I appreciate all the diligent work of WinePress in making sure the book is of the highest quality. These are great folks to work with.
