"Thank you for the encouragement and humor. These newsletters always spur me on. As an animal lover, it made me smile to see your buddy Rex at the top of the page. Keep up the great work and know how much the words of encouragement mean to so many of us!" Diane

"This is VERY encouraging just when I needed it most. Your words are a great reminder that it's not my timing and plans, but God's." Linda

"Just want to thank you for your newsletters. Love how you use the words, coloring, etc. to get the message across. Appreciate the encouragement." Joyce

"I always love receiving your newsletter, B.J. Many blessings as you pursue God's call to write your novel.  I can't wait to see what God does with it!" Heidi 

"I always enjoy your newsletters for a bit of uplift and information. Thanks so much! I thought you'd like an update from last summer's writers' challenge. One of the stories that I'd worked on during that time was, "Laughs, Prayers, and Every Bloomin' Thing." I streamlined it and sharpened the images, and Chicken Soup accepted it for Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tough Times, Tough People. Reworking it made a huge difference in its strength. The Des Moines Register published "Coach Dad," and a regional anthology about growing up in the Midwest accepted one of my newer pieces, "The Clown Who Could." Ronda
