Joy

Richard is well. Thank you Jesus. We've been real busy at Daybreak but we still want to sell the company. We are really missing our grandkids. I'm missing my sons a lot, too. We are joyful and happy to be alive. Thank you for everything Jesus.

Sick Husband

Hey all. I have not been posting because my husband, Richard, had back surgery. He's not home yet but perhaps ...today. I hope so. His doctor was great but the hospital staff left much to be desired. Not a good experience for him or for me. He's diabetic and they told him not to bring his insulin, etc. or any of his meds as they would provide all. The first day they refused him insulin as they claimed it was not on his chart...lie!! His diet was white bread, mashed potatoes, pasta, cake, canned fruit, fruit juice...well...a bunch of things that are not appropriate for a diabetic. This morning his sugar was at 317. Not good. One of the nurses told me that I should never leave a loved one alone in the hospital, that I could not trust the nurses to properly take care of 'whoever'. That's messed up. What do you all think?

book blurb- long version

This story begins in 1991 when Sheryl meets her second husband named Richard. Her expectations are different than they were for her first marriage. That said, she never dreams that it will become so awful. Unfortunately, physical abuse is a part of the story. Divorce seems a clear and almost certain option. Sheryl has always believed that God helps those who help themselves (which is not biblical). Like most people, she believes it is up to her to fix herself and her marriage. But nothing she does works. The level of desperation is tremendous-a desperation that Sheryl has rarely experienced. But then...God. Sheryl finally turns everything over to God. God steps in and, wow, the old, ugly marriage dies and what is left is better than a dream come true. Everything is brand new, squeaky clean, and joyful. Jesus was, is, and always will be the center, the bottom, the top, and both sides. There really is no life without Jesus Christ.

Searching for a publisher

The next step to writing and publishing my book was to find a publisher that I trusted. There was a lot to consider but most of all, I didn't want to give my money to someone who would take it and run. I also wanted a company who would help me and answer my questions, person to person. Last but not least, I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg but I didn't want to go so cheap that I ended up with a worthless product. After looking for 3 or 4 months, I had nearly given up. Against all hope, I put a search in on the internet, again, for a christian book publisher. Glory to God, up popped Wheatmark. Their web site is featured here on this blog.

Daybreak Moving & Storage

Leave a post if you are interested in buying a household goods moving company. We have been in business since 1992. We have a satisfactory rating with the BBB. Check us out with them at www.reliabilitymall.com. We love this company but our grandchildren are in Michigan, Louisiana, and Idaho and we want to spend time with them before they are all grown up.

Book and the seed of creation

Well, I'm not going to tell our whole story all over again as that would rewrite an already written book. That said, our pastor gave a sermon one Sunday about reviving old dreams. It touched me. He posed the idea that perhaps God had been tapping us on the shoulder for years about some purpose that He had in mind for us. If that were the case, maybe we should consider pursuing that nearly forgotten dream. Of course the sermon was longer than this post but it really got me thinking, it struck a chord. Through the years, the idea that I was a good story teller came up many, many times. Not necessarily a good author/writer. Sometimes, to tell a story it serves a purpose to write it down. I actually think that I'm a better speaker. God kept waking me up to write. Finally, my husband started to encourage me to write a book about our marriage. That was key as it would be from my perspective and thus he wouldn't look so good. I mentioned that fact to him and his observation was that he wouldn't look so good because he was not very nice at the time. In other words, my view was pretty accurate. He was on board with the project. He's never backed off on that position. He says that we have a unique opportunity to help people in a variety of areas. Bless him. To be continued.
