“You talk like Jean. She says that we shouldn't make plans
and then pray for God to bless those plans, but rather ask Him
what His will is and what we need to do to help carry it out.”

“I think deep down that's what all of us want is love. All the
other stuff we go through is just an attempt to find that love.
Money, power, fame, all that garbage is just to help us get that love
we need. And the ultimate in love is God's love.”
― Love Waits

“As much as I like it when a book I'm writing speeds along, the downside can be that an author becomes too eager to finish and rushes the end. The end is even more important than the first page, and rushing can damage it.”

“And let me tell you - carrying sad memories will wear you out. You've got to put them down walk away. Do whatever you must to put emotional space between yourself and your past. That's the only way you're going to make it through.”

“I've never been one to mourn the passing of what could have been a promising relationship. When Jeff broke my heart in the ninth grade, I decided then and there that if a guy couldn't see that I was something special, I'd say good-bye with no regrets. Not that I think I'm more special than anyone else, mind you. But if a thing is not meant to be, I figure it's just not part of God's infinite plan.”

“Darwinism by itself did not produce the Holocaust, but without Darwinism... neither Hitler nor his Nazi followers would have had the necessary scientific underpinnings to convince themselves and their collaborators that one of the worlds greatest atrocities was really morally praiseworthy.”

Hi,Yeah, I definitely did check the website out and I'm pretty amazed at how many books you've written. I haven't read the books yet, but I think you've got a good theme.I will check them out!
Thanks
God Bless,

Okay. Glad you found it and got your email too. Thanks. Wow, you are writing a series anti-Twilight, how could this be? Tell me more. I tried to read the series and did not care for it...up to the third of the series and stopped reading since. This would be wonderful. I hope to work on my Guardian Watch Series, supernatural fiction/fantasy/sci-fi. I prefer supernatural, but you have to shelf books also under their categories!
Hi Donald, stopped by to see what's new on your page. Have a great week.Blessings CJ
