Good afternoon, from Hideaway Ponds Recreational Resort. It is still raining every day here. We are very grateful as we have had a drought for some time. Thank you God!

I am going to Baton Rouge, Oct. 28 th, for a Book Festival. My publisher, Airleaf is paying for the booth! It is free to the public. There will be music, food and lots of authors on hand to sign their books. I am thrilled that my editor, Denise Padgett, is flying down from Michigan to take in the event.

This is a message for those who are in distress because they have been unfairly treated by someone. This is taken from today's Our Daily Bread. If you are a Christian, you are in God's hands, no matter what others may say about you. He sees your distress and in time will pay you with good. Trust Him and abide in His love.-----David Roper

Each day we learn from yesterday
Of God's great love and care;
And every burden we must face
He'll surely help us bear.---D. De. Haan
