I do hope you had a lovely holiday, and are looking forward to New Year’s. We have so much planned, I simply don’t know how we’ll get on with it all. Right now, the puppies are learning to bark; they get all enthusiastic, bark, and fall over. It’s cute. Their mom is very tolerant; Lady has the patience of a saint. She’s a good mama.
The two great-granddaughters are growing so fast as well. I hooked a balloon to Penelope’s sleeper foot, and she played kick the floaty thing around for twenty minutes. Her sister is getting into violin lessons after the holidays. We call them 4 squared, 4 years and 4 months, respectively.
Dan got a 3-D printer and has been having a marvelous time learning to print stuff. The family get-together was marvelous.
And in the meantime, I remember all those who haven’t got family or friends to spend holidays with for whom it might not have been a good time. I keep all those I know in my prayers.
I’ve almost finished the last edit of the Second Devotional Trilogy; I’m setting up for the Space Trilogy and the Zoo Mystery set for this year’s trilogies. I have at least six books ironed out to do as well. It’s going to be a busy time.
I’m also working on a quilt for the munchkins.
I have two specials coming up I want to tell you about: I know you’ll like them. Get ready to download, lean back, and consider those resolutions you’ve been thinking about: get set to learn ways to make them actually work this year!

January 4-11 Why Are You Angry at God? A Conversation About Pain
It is a 99-cent download on Amazon. For all those for whom life seems too hard, and who find that the pain of it is starting to overwhelm, I wrote this book. Pain and grief are real, but so is hope. Quit making God a scapegoat for your pain. He didn’t cause it; He wants your good. Meet the real shadow behind your misery and get him out of your life. Joy is as real as pain, and much easier to live with; learn the why, and pain becomes easier to bear, you find your balance, and you can do it today. You need this book in the new year to give you the tools to face sorrow and disappointment when they come.
And yes, I know I overlapped them a little; it doesn’t mean you can’t have both and each offer a free book besides, as always. Happy New Year! God bless!
