Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.

Family Under Siege is out for production. eBook vendors have already picked it up, and it is available. The printed version should be done in a week or so. At least that is what the sight said. Super excited about this one.

I have a couple of short stories that I need to work on that are due in May, then I will be putting together and Anthology of my short stories—taking these little nuggets of odd inspiration and putting them together in one spot. Last night I was trying to think of an appropriate title; however, all I came up with was: Where Was My Brain?

The book that I just published fell short of the requirement for the challenge of 50k words. I am sure without a doubt that the short story collection will more than satisfy that requirement. Reason being that most of the stories that I am going to use were required to have a minimum of 1000 words, but no more than 5000 words, and I have a lot of short stories.

Today I go to pay my respects to a family member who went home a couple of days ago. A very determined and spirited woman, wife, and mother of two very tall sons … haha. Afterwards, I think that I might go on to see my mommy again and surprise her with a drive or something … maybe a Scrabble day. Who knows.

Though today is not a full schedule of here and there in the world view, it will be a full day of showing up and serving my Father. Giving hugs where hugs are needed. A kind smile where one is felt. A gentle word of encouragement in a time of need. And simply my presence of support in the time of a storm. Not only at the funeral home, but with all those that I encounter today. Storms happen everywhere all day long. When we, as the church, show up … the storm ceases. For that person, the demons that they are facing know that we are the servants and soldiers of the Most High and flee when we walk in His confidence. For the person, it may only be a moment of peace for the time of our presence, but it is the peace that they were lacking. Add a hug or kind word, and the chaos quiets even more.

Today, I encourage you to be that face, the confidence, that presence, that encouragement that quells their chaos. Be the person you would want to be if you were them. Hope.

Be blessed.
