I am still working on getting the site over to Joomla, and while it was ’soon’ last month, it is even ’sooner’ now.  I should probably just quit messing with stuff, but…

The podcast that I recorded last month with Greg Albrecht and Plain Truth is now posted… http://www.ptm.org/young/   I never like to listen to my own voice much, so it’s there if you would like a listen.  I was fun…that is about all I remember.  They kindly gave me the entire back cover of their magazine, The Plain Truth, to promote the book.  Their website, Christianity Without the Religion, can be linked to at ttp://www.ptm.org/cwr/.  You can click on the ‘magazine’ menu item and get a free year’s subscription if you like.  They have asked me to wrtie some articles for them, and I hope to do that.

Heading down to Salem next Sunday, the 5th of August, to hang out with a bunch of folks connected to Dena and Mark Brehms.  That is going to be wonderful, I can’t wait.

Did another radio show, this time for an old … uh, an older… uh, someone that I have known for a long time, who is a nationally certified grief counselor and Hospice caregiver.  She is amazing!

But the really big news is that any day now, our first grand child will be emerging out of seclusion (our first is due August 4th and our second is due August 21st).  We are sooooo ready!!

Just received an invitation to sign books and speak up in Abottsford B.C., hosted by the 3rd largest bookstore in Canada…don’t know details yet, but will keep you posted.

My son Nicholas and I are planning to try to take a weekend in August and travel the journey from Portland, OR out to Wallowa Lake, up the tram etc, and tape some video segments that we can put online.  Probably five or six, so that you can see some of the sites from the book, like Multnomah Falls, the Columbia Gorge, Joseph, the camp site, the tram…maybe event the cabin, if we can pull it off.  Sounds like fun, eh?

I am starting to work on recording a CD version of the book…hoping to have a couple test chapters done in the next two weeks.  Will keep you posted on that.

 

Someday, I hope I get to travel and that my journeys will take you close to where ‘you’ are, so we can sit and hang out a bit over a cup a coffee, or for me a Chai tea, extra hot, with soy (or just tea of any type really). 

Blessings to you all,
