I am amazed at how long it has been since I blogged anything. I know the reason though. It's because I don't know if anyone is reading these. Is this just for me to have something to do? If so, I don't need it, but on the other hand, maybe I do need to write my thoughts.
This has been a wonderful summer. Perfect weather here in Indiana. In July my grandson Bryson was married to Lexie, a wonderful young lady. I got to see all of my immediate family but one at the wedding . The Lord continues to give me speaking engagements. I am making progress on my husband's bio. The reason it has taken so long is that I have had to change the focus I was writing. I tried to make all the stories about him. The problem with that is that we did everything together. He always said that he thought up things to do and I made them work. We were a team, partners all the way. So now I have gone back in the stories and added some of my activity.
I started out too with his birth in Kentucky and that wouldn't really get anyones attention so now the first story is about our 40 passenger plane being forced down by Castro in Cuba. That does make quite a story and I hope it will get people interested enough to want to know just who this guy and his partner were. If you have any thoughts on this, please email me and let me know what you are thinking. My address is donnathomas29@att.net
My last book, Faces in the Crowd is attracting attention. A lady in Michigan read it, called me, and now I am speaking at their women's conference in Pontiac this coming Saturday. I love this. I love to help people see how they can be used by the Lord. I go with the aviation term...challenge and response. I challenge people to step out of their comfort zone and be a 21st century disciple for Jesus. Then I check on their response a few weeks later. My purpose--to help them. My joy--to see their joy as they do this.
Now if you read this, please let me know so I'll do it again. Okay?
Blessings my friend, and may the Lord give you a special blessing this very week.
Donna

Now that I've found your blog, I certainly hope you keep posting. I was too young and without resources to go on the subject missions trip but I remember well the plane forced down by Castro. I remember the urgency of prayers by members of your home congregation and the relief and excitement of God's intervention when you returned safely to Wichita.
I'd like to read your last book, "Faces in the Crowd" and I'll order it from Amazon or through you whichever is best. If through you, let me know the cost and your address & I'll forward my payment with mailing address.
You must keep sharing your thoughts and experiences. As we know, God has the power to use your words to bless people beyond your expectations. May God continue to bless you with new thoughts and experiences and empower you to keep sharing.
