August 2010

Just because you're not at the place where you want, doesn't mean you won't get there... by Pat Simmons.


Lamentations 3:22-23: It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Translation: God's giving us new chances in 2010, and His blessings are ready and waiting.

Welcome to August everybody: back-to-school shopping, the end of vacations, and the hope for cooler temperatures.

From time to time, I like to share something God has done for me. Wait until I tell you this: THE RAM IN THE BUSH

***I am preparing my 2011 schedule for conferences and book events. If your book club or women's ministry would love for me to join in on a discussion of any of the books in the Guilty series or Talk to Me, let me know soon.

***I have extra books from the Indy Black Expo. You can get an autograph copy for $12.50. You only pay a flat shipping rate of $5.00, regardless of how many books you purchase. Plus, get a free gift with every two books you buy. If you get all the books in the series, your gift is a full color tote bag, but I only have a limited supply of the totes bags. DEADLINE AUGUST 13, 2010.
Credit cards are accepted. Email me at pat@patsimmons.net.

***Pray for our troops. In July, I had the opportunity to visit Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. It's a training base, and I have never seen so many enlisted young people. Please keep them and their families in your prayers. This week, I'm heading to Whiteman AFB in Missouri. If you know anyone stationed there, please ask them to stop by my table.

***I had a wonderful time with Chris and Shirley Wade from Texas. They are cousins on my Wade tree I met, maybe, four or five years ago. I'm still adding pictures. Check us out as we pour over documents of our ancestors at photos.patsimmons.net.
Speaking of family trees, I updated the genealogy section on my website. I've uploaded a picture of a woman who lived in the same household with my great-great grandmother in the 1880s. Thanks to her ancestor, Heather Leopard, for the photo. www.patsimmons.net.
