A Great Day in Valdosta

We had a wonderful day yesterday at Mockingbird in Valdosta, Georgia for the Give My Love to the Chestnut Trees book signing. I have several sweet stories to share later in the week, but for now, I especially want to thank Pam Akins and her gracious staff for their Southern hospitality. It was such a joy meeting the people of Valdosta.

Also, my dear friend, Nancy Hobby, worked selflessly for weeks promoting the signing. She along with Jeannie Grow sent emails, handed out postcards, and spread the word around town, which resulted in a fabulous turnout. I owe them both a debt of gratitude. Also, many thanks to Elizabeth Butler for a terrific review in The Valdosta Times.

“For the Lord is good, and his love endures forever… “(Psalm 100:5)

Why "One Ringing Bell?"

From Ezekiel 28:33-35, "Make pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn around the hem of the robe, with gold bells between them. The gold bells and the pomegranates are to alternate around the hem of the robe. Aaron must wear it when he ministers." The pomegranates symbolize the word of God and the bells, the going forth of that word. As the sound of the bells was heard when the priest, Aaron, ministered, my desire is to ring out the word wherever and whenever possible--to be "One Ringing Bell."
