Steve and I are tucked away in Northern California, resting, writing, and playing. It’s great to get away and find refreshment!  As I sat early this morning on the back patio, watching the mist rise over the mountains, I read these familiar words from Isaiah 6, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s armies! The whole earth is filled with His glory!” (Isaiah 6:3 NLT) The earth is truly filled with the Lord’s glory! Savoring the beauty can prompt our praise and worship. Today, no matter where you are on the planet, no matter what country you are living in, take a few moments, go outside, savor the beauty and stop and praise God. So often we are too busy to even notice the beauty all around.  So let’s be intentional today, stop, savor, and give thanks!

Monday,July 1, is a big day, do you know why? It is the beginning of the 30 day countdown to the release of The 30 Day Praise Challenge and I’m in the mood to celebrate!  Staring Monday, be sure to check my author speak facebook page and my blog because every day, Monday- Friday, in July I’m going to be giving away prizes!  Each day I will be posting another reason to praise God and offer a prize.   You can only be in the drawing for a prize if you leave a comment!~  Some of the prizes include: $10.00 gift cards to I-tunes, CD’s from some popular worship artists, Novels and books by some of America’s top authors and hey, even a few DQ cards.  Who doesn’t like ice-cream in the summer?  Here’s where I need your help, Please help me get the word out! You can do this by re-posting what I post on my author/speaker facebook page. I want as many people to win prizes as possible.    And more importantly, I want to start a massive movement of praise that sweeps our nation and globe! Are you in?  Let me know!~
