Some decisions are easy, while others not so much. \u00a0 Think about it. Everyday we have to decide what we will eat and drink. We have to pick out our clothes, and decide if it&#8217;s better to leave the bed made or unmade. We even have to decide how those decisions could affect our days or even our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the decisions we make, effect those near and far, maybe even those we don&#8217;t even know. \u00a0So how do we make these decisions? \u00a0How do we know if God is planting a seed in our heats or it&#8217;s just our own desire leading us?<\/p>\n<p>I have said over the years that it would be so cool to be an author. \u00a0Not just any author but one who everyone knows. You know the one&#8217;s, Shakespeare, Earnest Hemingway, J.K. Rowling, Stephen King, and many other greats. \u00a0I even heard J.K. Rowling was a poor single mother, who now no longer has financial struggles. \u00a0How do I get me some of that?<\/p>\n<p>Many of us want some of that, the fame the fortune. \u00a0I don&#8217;t really want fame and fortune, Okay maybe I do, but that&#8217;s a difficult life style too. \u00a0No what I really want, would be to write a book that makes a difference in someones life. Maybe it could even bring hope to someone in need, or help confirm something for some else.<\/p>\n<p>Doug and Travis both say \u00a0I should just sit down and write what I know about and go from there. \u00a0I had a great opportunity to write an article for &#8220;The Gather &#8221; magazine. \u00a0It was well received and many people just reached out to me to just to say &#8220;hi&#8221;. \u00a0I had people commenting from the east and west coast. \u00a0The priest at the Catholic Church in town said, I should keep writing.<\/p>\n<p>So as a shameless plea, \u00a0and if you read this blog, should I try to write a book or not? Would you read it? \u00a0I have no bible passage for this, just hope that somehow I will find the answer to my question. \u00a0Does God want me to write, or is it my own desire?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all have to make decisions in our daily lives.
