I know this post is over a week old,...Hey Sharlene,<br />I know this post is over a week old, but last week I was spending the day with my youngest son's bride-to-be. I was invited to go with Leslie and her mother to pick up Leslie's wedding gown, so needless to say I was nowhere near the internet, nor did I want to be. The big day is getting close (June 5th.) as is an empty nest for my husband and me. I look at it this way, our two sons have now given us two lovely daughters, we just won't all be in the same house anymore.<br />My novel is over five years in the writing now, so I greatly appreciate the encouragement. Speaking of which, I've just finished reading Abbie Ann, and I think it's my favorite of the daughters seies. Writing that one must have put you through the wringer though - talk about unexpected turns of events. That's all I'm going to say because I don't want to be a spoiler. I just have to ask, did you know the story was going to take that turn, or did your characters just develop a mind of their own? When I'm in the mood for reading about days gone by, I look for something you've written because I think you write the best historical fiction ever. Thanks again for the encouragement.<br />Blessings to you,<br />Patti HayesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15645582.post-34444318385558329562010-05-16T00:45:05.977-04:002010-05-16T00:45:05.977-04:00Hi, Rob.

This year I have the privilege of serving on the worship team, and I'm humbled. Rob, you keep writing. God has great things in store.<br /><br />My sweet Patti Jo, please, please recover quickly so you can come this September. It's our chance to sit together at the banquet again...and giggle!!! I'm praying that you experience a supernatural healing following your surgery that will amaze doctors and therapists! GOD CAN DO ANYTHING!<br /><br />Hugs to both of you!SHARLENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457286835246419013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15645582.post-47686195563671669662010-05-15T22:49:08.979-04:002010-05-15T22:49:08.979-04:00Shar,
Thanks for your reminder of the challenges,...Shar,<br /><br />Thanks for your reminder of the challenges, but even more for the encouragement. I remember all too well my first, and to this point only, ACFW conference two years ago. In fact, that is where I met you. <br /><br />One thing I was most amazed by was the friendliness of all the well established published authors. Everyone made me feel like I belonged there and that my book idea was something special. I'm still working on trying to publish that book, but I know it is much better as a result of the ACFW conference.<br /><br />Hope to see you there this year!Rob Roushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440277293863794761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15645582.post-51799571628286181572010-05-15T18:57:51.892-04:002010-05-15T18:57:51.892-04:00Hey Shar! What an excellent post--- and just what...Hey Shar! What an excellent post--- and just what I needed to read today! (yes, the enemy has been trying to get me down lately *sigh*). The last 2 years when I attended the ACFW Conference, it was absolutely AMAZING!! The Lord used others to reach out to me and touch my life in such wonderful ways, and the friendships I've formed are priceless (not to mention what I learned at all the fabulous workshops!!). And I must add, that's where I got to meet YOU in person! So what if you teased me about my Southern accent, I love you anyway! LOL!! ;) (you know I just had to add that, teehee...). ~ I'm praying about attending this year--it will all depend on how I recover from my extensive spinal surgery in June. But I know the Lord is in control and He will show me what to do! ~ Thanks again for this uplifting post! Hugs and Love, Patti Jo :)CatMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985658721138526298noreply@blogger.com
