They had to put a magnet on it in ER so it wouldn't shock him while they were cutting. Then we had to wait for a man to come all the way from Dallas to turn it back on :) Sorry to be answering so late in the day :) Thank you all so much for coming by and your comments! HUGS and BLESSINGS!<br /><br />Mary! You're in Australia! I had a dear pen pal there for years and we so enjoyed writing back and forth. She sent me hankies with Kiwi birds and I sent her Texas souvenirs, and she read all my books! Maybe we could be pen pals, too! <br /><br />Janis, I love you, too, my beautiful Snow White! A retreat! Yes! That's what we'll have! And soon! :)<br /><br />Joyce, dear Joyce. What a blessing you are. Your encouragement and support overwhelm me! I am so thankful God has bound our hearts in love!<br /><br />BJM :) I've never been to South Carolina, but have heard how beautiful a state it is! I do hope you get to read my Texas Romances and enjoy them :)<br /><br />sm, Hold fast to your faith and God's promise that if we train our children up in the way they should go, when they are old, they WILL NOT depart from it! Now I cannot tell you how many years of life comprises 'old' in this case. But I'm 65 and I do not feel old. I still have one prodigal son and other children who are making/have made some seriously flawed decisions...but we can never let go of our Hope in Him. Nothing is too difficult for Him either! :) HUGS! {{{{{{{sm}}}}}}}<br /><br />Karen, thank you, thank you for your kind words!<br /><br />Kim! I'm so glad you mentioned it. I turned it on immediately to see if I could catch any and they're playing it through again! I have it recorded! :) I don't have a WHOLE lot of the war in Just Kin, but enough to flavor it and there is a battle. <br /><br />Beth! I love to hear you testify! :) tee hee hee! I'm so glad that you've enjoyed my stories! Blessings!<br /><br />Sheila :) As I was telling Kim, there's a touch of war. I think you definitely get the flavor of it and how it affected those left at home.<br /><br />Brenda, you are so welcome! I love giving books away...were I independently wealthy... I'd have so much fun blessing everyone with free stories!<br /><br />Hi Patty :) I have so enjoyed writing this series so much. I love the characters and so enjoy spending time with them :)<br /><br />Abigail! A new reader for my stories! And a new author for you! It's like a marriage made in heaven. HUGS!<br /><br />Lucy! I hope you'll love him as much as a young man :)<br /><br />Sharon, consider yourself entered! I hope you get to read Just Kin :)<br /><br />Kathy...though I thought I'd never go to the top again...last week there I was on the top row...but I was SO CAREFUL every step. I launched a book about writing "Story & Style, The Craft of Writing Creative Fiction" this past June. And WordWyse Expos debut next month with Navigating the Indie Marketplace...but I have writing expos planned as well. You may find more information at http://www.WordWyse.com In each book, I include the first chapter of the next as an enticement. But I've found readers fall in love with Henry Buckmeyer (fashioned after my wonderful husband) and all his family :) <br /><br />Love and hugs and blessings to you all! If you don't win this book...there's a blog tour that started yesterday and I'm giving more away :) Check on my FB page :)Caryl McAdoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392468033143238490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-44331317206942365162016-01-21T19:47:26.805-08:002016-01-21T19:47:26.805-08:00Oh,my Caryl!

I really liked reading your interview. What a salvation experience! I agree, Satan can never get you to doubt your salvation when you know that you have been redeemed and bought with the blood of Christ. Praise God! <br /><br />I really liked hearing about your visits to the elementary schools. That would be so much fun to do. I would love to hear one of your singing presentations. How do we find out more about your writer workshops?<br /><br />I really like the excerpt from your first chapter. Now my curiosity is piqued?<br />Please include me in your giveaway contest. <br /><br />Thank you so much Caryl for offering your book for the giveaway and Thenk you Lena for hosting Caryl on your blog.<br /><br />Kathy from Neosho, MOKathy Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13058521531784778668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-57804356436972847522016-01-21T18:33:00.532-08:002016-01-21T18:33:00.532-08:00Enter me in your great contest!!

Your love of God is so alive in everything you say and do. You (and God alone) truly know how much you mean to me. I am looking forward to reading "Just Kin!" <br /><br />Your salvation story is a bit like mine, I was 12. Your fall on the bleacher steps could have been me too - I am a creative klutz and always seem to have to do my pratfalls in front of a crowd.

I had writers' Workshop today and didn't realize it fell on the blog day, so here I am at almost 11p.m.!<br /><br />Connie - You're so right about us all having been there. It'd be so nice if we could say we always made the right decision based on God's Word. Praise God, I think the older we get, the more we do...but it's partially due to all those lessons we learned when we were young and didn't, right ? :) Thanks for coming by! Blessings!<br /><br />Melanie! It's been so long since I've seen you! Glad you stopped by today! Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoy my stories! :) Hugs and blessings!<br /><br />Hello Beth! I love the historicals, too when morals were higher and modesty took the day. It's so strange to think those days weren't THAT long ago! Seems like everything regarding integrity of life was so much better then. Thanks for you comment! Be blessed! :)<br /><br />Hey, J.C. in Indiana! This series began in 1832 and I was excited to get to 1861 and the terrible days of the Civil War. Lends a lot of drama to an author! :) I have a battle --or skirmish-- of actual fighting, but not too much. More about how it affected those left behind at home and the men's new norm away at war. Blessings! And thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Angela in Kentucky! Glad you came by. I'd love for you to get to read JUST KIN!
