I had my interview Monday, June 30 KALB Channel 5 Midday Show....  if you missed the interview, you can watch the video on KALB.com. Melinda Johnson was a wonderful host, very warm and easy to talk to. I had a wonderful time!

I had a book signing in Walden Book Store the following day, that also went well.... the manager ask if I would sign the copies left for the people who were working or unable to make the signing on this day. So anyone interested, my book (about 20 signed copies) are available in the Walden Book Store in Alexandria mall. Have a wonderful evening!

Warmest Regards,

I’ll probably end up working.  :blank:

But I know a few of you are going to be something

The place where God calls you is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.
-Frederick Buechner

Dark and cold we may be, but this is no winter now. The frozen misery of centuries breaks, cracks, begins to move, the thunder of the floes, the thaw, the flood, the upstart spring thank God our time is now when wrong comes up to face us everywhere, never to leave us till we take the longest stride of soul men ever took.
-Christopher Fry

Freedom is useless if we don’t exercise it as characters making choices… We are free to change the stories by which we live. Because we are genuine characters, and not mere puppets, we can choose our defining stories. We can do so because we are co-authors as well as characters. Few things are as encouraging as the realization that things can be different and that we have a role in making them so.
-Daniel Taylor

No man, for any considerable period of time, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the truth.
-Nathaniel Hawthorne

A man is fierce...passionate..wild at heart? You wouldn’t know it from what normally walks around in a pair of trousers. If a man is the image of the Lion of Judah, how come there are so many lonely women, so many fatherless children, so few men around?
-John Eldredge

The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.
-Albert Schweitzer

He begins to die, that quits his desire.
-George Herbert

Are you there? Say a prayer for the Pretender who started out so young and strong only to surrender.
-Jackson Browne

To give a man back his heart is the hardest mission on earth.
-From the movie Micheal

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade and he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down and cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame “I am leaving, I am leaving” but the fighter still remains.
-Paul Simon

Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight.
-Bruce Cockburn

Be strong and couragous; do not be afraid or dismayed for the Lord your God is with you always.
-Joshua 1:9

This is how it feels to come alive again and start fighting back to gain control and this is how it feels to let freedom in and break the chains that enslave my soul.
-Andy Gullahorn

Safe? Who said anything about safe? Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good.
-C.S. Lewis

The Spirit of the Lord is on me, to preach the good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release for the prisoners.
-Isaiah 61:1

Obey God in the thing he shows you, and instantly the next thing is open. God will never reveal more truth about himself until you have obeyed what you know already...This chapter brings out the delight of real friendship with God.
-Oswald Chambers

This is a stem of that victorious stock, and let us fear the native mightiness and fate of him.
-Henry V

Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty one, cloth yourself with splender and majesty. In your majesty ride forth victoriously.
-Psalm 45:3-4

As part of Christ’s army, you march in the ranks of gallant spirits. Every one of our fellow soldiers is the child of a King. Some, like you, are in the midst of battle, besieged on every side by affliction and temptation. Others, after many assaults, repulses, and rallying conquerors. From there they look down and urge you, their comrades on earth, to march up the hill after them. This is their cry; “Fight to the death and the City is your own, as now it is ours!”
-William Gurnall

My prayers and my sympathy goes out to the parents of these two young children. May God grant them comfort and peace.
Also prayers for the 18 year old who was drinking/driving, he has to live with this for the rest of his life.
The person/persons who allowed the young man to purchase or have the alcohol should share in the guilt of this terrible tragedy!

I am posting my web site (http://www.poisecentral.com) for any aspiring writer, that might need some simple tips and hints to polish their manuscript, before submitting it for publication. The majority of editors often reject a writers manuscript, because of common or simple mistakes,that if had been caught beforehand could have been easily corrected. You can email me at sharonkhardaji at bellsouth dot net concerning any other questions about writing or publishing a manuscript.

Warmest Regards,
