When my book of daily encouragements, Be Still, came out, my publisher encouraged me to do the whole advertising, book signings, etc., thing, and I did so with great expectations. Visions of grandeur danced in my head, as I bounced merrily on the springboard of what I perceived to be success, fame and fortune.
Unfortunately, no one had filled the proverbial pool, and I hit bottom hard and quick. It was painful, but then, gradually, God began to remind me of something I’d lost sight of. I heard His voice–a loving whisper–telling me, “It’s not about you, Charlie.”
No, it’s not about me, it’s about God, it’s about each one of you, and it’s about each and every person I come in contact with for the rest of my days.

We’re back from the Odessa book signing, and, once again, the dog was sure glad to see us!
We held our eighth and last book signing event Saturday for my book of daily encouragements, Be Still. It was at the Hastings in Odessa, Texas, and was one of the best we’ve had; not because we sold a lot of books—which we did—but because it was the end of an experience. Read the rest of this entry »

This morning, after having returned from the recent book signing event in Borger, I reflect upon the fact that though I was with so many family members during the short visit, I had very few opportunities to “visit” with most of them. I didn’t even get to have a conversation with Mom! Read the rest of this entry »

We’re back from the Borger book signing, and the dog was sure glad to see us! She’s sound asleep now! She doesn’t sleep much while were gone; too worried, I reckon. Read the rest of this entry »
