Hi Everyone,

At last I am back. Due to medical problems I have been unable to use my computer. I had a serious condition. Praise God I am on the mend. The camp workers, in this beautiful resort and my many friends have been so supportive. I thank everyone for their prayers.

1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Blessings

At last I'm back. I have been so busy with medical issues and book signings that I have not had time, however I am grateful to be able to live in such a wonderful country that has the best medical care in the world and to have good medical insurance. PRAISE THE LORD!

I will have a book signing at Starbucks in Thibodaux LA, on Jan. 6th from 1-4 pm.

New beginnings---Ephesians 4:23-24 'And be renewed in the Spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Good morning from Hideaway Ponds.

Tomorrow at 12pm, I will be signing copies of my book, Mercy Triumphs, at The Coffee Table in Thibodaux, Louisiana. The Coffee Table is a neat hangout for college students and area residents. There are paintings by local artists on the walls and comfortable chairs for folks to sit and read. Several tables are set up for games, such as checkers, chess and card playing. The aroma of different blends of coffee, tantalize the senses.

This is the thought for today. Proverbs 3:6 'In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.' WHAT A PROMISE!

Blessings,

Patricia

Hello from Hideaway Ponds. The air is crisp and cool but the golden glow of the sun is brightening the day. It is very quiet at the resort today as the weekenders have left. Heidi our little dachshund, loves to lie on the dashboard of our motor home and bask in the sun. She also enjoys watching the ducks, chickens and rabbits as they freely wander about the park.

A new friend and blogger reminded me of this scripture. I needed to read it again. Phil. 4:13 I can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth me.

This last week I had surgery. It was suppose to be minor but it turned out to be major. But I praise my God for His watch care, good friends and a caring husband, who stayed by my side.

Hello from Hideaway Ponds. It has been awhile since I last posted. My schedule has been quite busy, but good.

Today I was reading in Matthew 7:15 & 16, in the King James version, of the Bible. 'Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are raving wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?' So we as Children of God need to display the fruits of the Spirit. What are the fruits of the spirit? Galatians 5:22& 23, 'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, [self-control]; against such there is no law.'

God's love to you all

Well we got back from Baton Rouge on Friday, Nov. 3rd. I couldn't get on line, while we were gone, so I am behind in my posting.

The author's party on the 27th, at the state library was interesting. Some came dressed to the nines and others were in casual attire. We met poets, shot story writers, novelists and those who write only factual material. I think that there were agents and publisher's reps there but they kept a low profile. Someone was taking pictures, probably for the newspaper. Besides wine and beer, there was a table with all kinds of food. Tantilizing dip, from shimp to bean, crackers, cold cuts, egg rolls, chips and a dessert table, kept us busy sampling for some time as we circulated, while a stringed musical group played in the background.

The book sales on Saturday were in long tents in front of the library. I was across from Pelican Publishers. Three authors who write children's books, were signing their books. To my right was a library group, to my left a book selling company. They had many different kinds of books, some hard covers and some paperbacks.

Cajun and country bands, entertained as visitors and exhibitors alike satisfied their hunger at the food concessions that offered jambalaya, hot dogs, hamburgers and gumbo. The weather was cooperative. It was a beautiful, sunny day.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee. [King James version]
