This two-day trip was to go speak to an annual convention of the Baptist General Assembly for the State of Oklahoma and it was a real honor to be invited. On Monday night, I was able to speak before the whole group, men and women, and share my story of how I came to faith and Jesus as a 21-year-old getting ready to graduate from college and the path, a very unexpected path that God led me on, to where I am today as an author and a speaker. And then in the morning, this Tuesday morning, 29th, I spoke to the women and this is all a group that was gathered together to be encouraged, and inspired, and equipped to be able to go out and love people in the name of Jesus, not just talk but really live our faith though our lives and pray for people and to help people and help them understand that the whole reason we love people is because of Jesus. And so it’s very interesting that as I am driving back home from the ...

I am calling this blog entry in as I drive back from the airport on Saturday night, January 26th, at almost midnight. What an interesting trip for all sorts of reasons! This is my first speaking trip of the New Year, and I added it up and I have 15 speaking engagements in the next 12 weeks, which should be kind of interesting. Then the speaking slows down a little bit, but the next three months are going to be very busy. But a lot of great places, and Omaha was a really neat place to go as the first of the speaking trips of the year. One of things that was great about it, it wasn’t just speaking to the Women’s Conference that I was at, but also because the folks at the Women’s Conference had arranged two businessman interviews for me. These interviews have proven to be extremely valuable as I have traveled to different parts of the country. I have asked whoever is doin ...

I’m not traveling today. In fact I’m sitting at my computer working on the scripts for my next round of radio spots instead of curling up with a good book before bedtime - which is what I’d prefer to be doing! And I just made the mistake of procrastinating on the radio spots by checking the Amazon page for my book “For Women Only.” All authors have a secret obsession with their Amazon pages for two reasons: “what is the ranking??” (627, a few minutes ago, in case anyone is wondering.) And “Has anyone posted a comment lately?” Most of my Amazon comments are terrific, and I’m like a gleeful kid when I read them. I love hearing how something has changed a life or a marriage! But every now and then I get a posting that makes me sooo upset. Largely because it says that I say something in the book that I NEVER say and WOULD NEVER say. I don&a ...

Well, the New Year certainly started off with a bang. A few days ago we got an unexpected phone call from producers in New York for “The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet”, which is the Fox 9:00 a.m. morning show, syndicated nationwide, asking me and Lisa if we would popup to New York at the last minute and appear on a segment about understanding teenagers on Tuesday, February 8th. So, we put everything off on hold, scrambled a bit, flew off to New York on Monday afternoon and prepped for the show and went live on this major broadcast on Tuesday morning with several teenagers also on the panel with us to talk about our books for counseling and to talk about the things that parents need to understand about teenagers (ph) that they tend not to get. The experience was a really fun one and the producers were fantastic. It is such a pleasure to be prepped by producers who take the need for preparation seriously. So many ...
