I am waiting for my editor to discuss the "Wings of Angels" book. I am trying to explain that the angels are supposed to look strong and Jolly. It's funny but I have never seen an angel depicted as jolly before. I wonder why not.
In the story I'm writing they are full of fun and joy and a little bit of mischief. Could anyone point me to an artist's rendition of a "jolly" angel?

Timing
Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." We fret about so many things. Like our worry can help us think of the right thing at the right moment so that we can prevent something from happening or make something happen. I have had trouble lately figuring out what to pray when things are in crisis. Sometimes I SO want God to intervene. But what I am always asking for is a path out of the pain. Sometimes pain is in season if that makes any sense.

A New Book
Well, this is the beginning of a new conversation that I felt like needed it's own blog. I had a publisher pick up a small manuscript I wrote that will be out in book form sometime before December of this year. I am mostly still in shock. But it's a fun kind of shock... so far :)
It is a book about grief which is written on maybe a four year old level? I am not satisfied with much reading material that is out there for small children related to the death of a loved one. I thought I would give it a whack and see if improvement was possible. I also wanted to write a book that spoke to everyone and illustrated simply what grief might look like in it's various stages.
It's a book about, well, if you have gone to church for a while then you know there is always one elderly person there whose face is full of fun , who delights in the children, has treats in their pockets and are mobbed when ever they walk in the door. In this book her name is "Granny Grace". She has a very special relationship with one of the children of the congregation who is the only one that can see that there are angels that watch over Granny Grace. Granny knows they are there but has only felt the brush of their wings.
The story is about the love and relationship between them and the little girls journey to acceptance as she faces the loss of her dearly loved, deeply missed Granny Grace.
