Every once and a while, I’ll get a note that strikes me as different. Something about it sets it apart. I got one yesterday. Maybe it had something to do with my third book, ‘When Crickets Cry.’ I’m not sure. Anyway, twice today I have found myself clicking on this blog—written by a lady I don’t know and have never met—and reading about a boy that’s a week old. Each time, I have heard myself saying, “Lord, can you please help this one. Please...” I realize there are countless stories like this. We each have been touched. It’s just that this one has touched me. Maybe you’re reading this because you want to know what I’m up to. Currently, I’m editing my 9th novel, but, in truth, I’m distracted. I’m thinking about Bennett. Maybe it’s the picture. If you’d like to read Bennett’s story, I don’t think his folks would mind. And, I think they’d welcome your prayers.
Teddy

Hanging in my house, is one of my favorite quotes. It’s Teddy Roosevelt. Lifted from a speech he gave in 1910. I like it for lots of reasons but, here’s the point. If you’re ever been rejected, knocked down, set back, trampled over, lost anything, lost everything, come up short or flat-out failed, then be encouraged. You’re in good company. Welcome to the human race. The question for me, and the reason this thing is hanging in my house, is not if these things will happen to me, but how will I respond when they do. Anyone can achieve mediocrity, but to dare something great, to try again, to stand back up, to dust myself off...well, that takes something else. And you can’t buy it at Wal-Mart. So, to those of you with ‘marred by dust and sweat and blood,’ my hat’s off to you.
