You know, I listen to him everyday and I have to tell you, it is truly named...Upwords is a good thing to listen to every day. As we all know, Max Lucado is an awesome Author,and preacher, a good man of God, and this little 60 second message you listen to every day that he will send, can really make a difference to your day! Sometimes, as christians, well, most times, the devil tries to keep us down because we're a threat to him. So, it's a good thing to read our word daily and pray, but it also helps to have uplifting words like these, as well as positive music. There are SO many good christian bands out there now! Alot more than when I was growing up. I think satan tried to 'use' music, well, he still does, but God's taking it back!!

Book Club
I gotta tell ya, I wasn't looking forward to yesterday's trip to the DMV,BUT, I gotta say, it ended very well! I ended up going to a local car dealership here, that also has a DMV inside it and I was literally out in three minutes! I'm NOT kidding! I have to say, I was stunned myself! So, I know where I'm going from now on. :-)
I'm still writing my memoirs, and they will be published soon, but after some requests, I have decided to publish a book of my poems first. It seems that I have been asked to do a couple of projects, so I'm trying to get them all done, soon, I hope. I have also decided to start a "book of the month" club on here, and my website:
www.angelawilliamsauthor.weebly.com
I have literally my own library, and I am always being asked what I thought of this book or that one, after I've read it,I read, ALOT, so I thought it would be a fun thing to do. I will be posting a report on one I just finished soon. Hopefully within the next week.

An old Friend
So lately, me & my Husband have joined Facebook & Twitter, & I gotta tell ya, I think it's pretty fun. I used to hate the thought of 'social-networking', but I have been able to be in contact with some old friends that I never thought I'd ever talk to again. & I think it's neat as well seeing how they've changed, pictures of their families, etc.
So one of my friends, I found out, is an Author as well, so I thought I would use this blog today to 'plug' his book. It's based on his life, & I think it's a pretty worthy read! I have added his link. Go check it out! :

Sunday
Well, today was a REALLY hot day! WOW!!! I think it went into the 100's!!! We went to the local flea market today. I like to go their because you can find some really cool stuff once in a while. For those of you who don't know what a 'flea market' is, it's like an huge yard sale. There are rows upon rows of items. Today was so hot though, I couldn't really enjoy myself there like I usually do. I did however see one of my doctors. The one who actually delivered my son, so it was cool for her to actually see him all grown up, as she put it.
I thought it was kind of neat,too. I asked her if she ever got to see alot of the children she's delivered, & she said not really. ;-( I think that's sad. She says she'll see someone on the street, & think that maybe they were a child she delivered, but she doesn't want to go up & ask. I just thought that maybe it would be a cool idea for people to maybe send a picture in to their Doctors once in a while. I think they would appreciate it, I know she said she would. I just thought that was maybe something for you to think about.

Decided on which one
Well, for those of you who keep asking and want to know, I've finally decided on which book to finish(took me long enough,huh?). I'll do my memoirs. I guess I've been asked to alot because "Coma" got you all interested since it was based on my life....anyway, that's the one I'm going to focus on next, which means I now have to make myself finish it...lol...it's NOT that I don't like writing, I love writing, just not about myself! But, because of so many requests, I figured I would go ahead. Not that it's going to be all 'pretty', be forewarned! But I do hope it helps someone out there who may have or be going through some of the same things & know that I came out okay....that's my wish, that this might help someone..okay, time to write!!!

Booksignings
Okay, I have been asked this question over & over again, & I'm going to 'try' & answer as best I can....why don't I do booksignings?? Because, honestly, I don't want to....My Publisher & Agent hate me for it, by the way, but I am NOT a 'public' person! This,(the web), is about as 'public' as I'm ever going to be....& I'm only doing this because of my Publisher, Agent, & some Author Friends ideas on this subject, suggesting it...in their last attempts at getting me to 'get out there'!! Don't get me wrong, I will be more than happy to talk with you here, or facebook/twitter/via email, etc...etc..., as I have in the past on my old website & blog, & Myspace...but I just am not the type of person who can go out into the public eye & be around alot of people....call it 'stagefright' if you will....but unfortunately, that's me....sorry :-(...I don't mean to upset anyone, I never have, but I like my privacy. I don't really like talking in crowds or being in the 'spotlight'. So, once again, I have hopefully answered your question on this matter.....Don't hate me for being shy :-)

Ice Mountain
my wife is a homebody that i love very much im trying to break her of this, me on the other hand am out going, well i wanted to tell about a special place called ice mountain its located in capon bridge west virginia when you ride in to this place the starting point its a little, creepy all the houses are abandoned, an old a ghost town except for a horse in a stable who seems to be angry as we sat waiting for our guide. we looked in the house at the starting of the trail there was furniture in it still but no life,(My wife told me she could see 2 ghosts in the window, & that was why the horse was upset) then our guide showed up she told us the house was haunted(which my wife had just told me!!) in the upper room the last people that lived there never let the kids go in the one room for that reason our guide was very pleasant and insightful. i didnt think we would be able to make the trip because angi's foot was hurting and she decided to wear flip flops the guide said she didnt want to med vac another person out of here which had happened just a few weeks earlier,but my brave wife pushed on. As we reached the top of the knoll, we saw
a flock of wild turkeys, our guide told us about the vegetation and how the native plants were being pushed out by the foreign ones like the plant that the state butterfly eats and makes cocoons. efforts are being made to stop this attack, as we walked on we saw some trees beavers had been chewing on a few trees but not the hemlock pines; these trees we found out were under attack too, and were getting treated. before going up we had to dust our selfs off first incase we were carring things harmful for the trees.as we approched the cold vents we started seeing the hemlocks the cold vents were very cooling on a hot day you want to stay for awhile. I expected it to be ice but the cool vents were nice, the guide told us its much colder a little deeper in; scientist have tryed to explain this but can not. the mountain was used by the indians as a freezer- it was sacred for them. This was an awesome & memorable experience, we're definately going back!!!

Daughter's Bday
Well, today is my middle daughter, Destiny's birthday...she's 19 today (ugh!! I feel SO old!! lol)...I went to visit her this morning for a little while...She's such a sweet person...have you ever just sat & watched your children??? I have, do, ALOT!! I used to do it all the time...just watching them is amazing, knowing that they are a part of you & that you helped to create that!! It's awesome!! Especially when they become adults & start their own lives, I think "I helped do this"...It's really cool, I think anyway, when you think about it like that....(Love you- :"Doodle Bug"!!)

The Puzzle Pieces
The joy in your touch, the light in your eyes, are just parts of a life that I thought I never could have, and still can't believe that I do. My life with you are all parts of the perfect pieces that make up the puzzle that is my life. Just as in a puzzle, it takes many pieces, some crooked, some straight, some square, to make a whole picture, so is my life with you. It may not be all perfect pieces, but when they are all joined, and put together, they make a perfect picture, a whole piece. A perfect puzzle.
Scripture of the Day
Okay, so here I will share my fav scripture of the day with you::
It's from Phil 4:8
Tell me what thoughts you have on this...maybe we can start a bible study?? Let me know??
Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy- meditate on these things...
It's just another way of God telling us to focus on 'good' things, think about the 'good' things, & not to let bad things cloud our mind...when you meditate on the good, there's no room for the bad....;-)

Hello!! ;-)
Hello Everyone! ;-) Today is friday, June 18th...I finally made a new website & blog since I've been asked to over & over & hadn't until now...(I'm too stubborn to be 'pushed' into anything) lol....so, here, I had the idea that my Husband (& He's my best friend as well), Joseph, could join me....I'll be posting something each day, thoughts, fav recipes, fav scriptures, maybe even a new poem, not daily, but weekly :-)....I've been trying for a year now to get a new book out, but I've started about 8 books, & I end up throwing them away...as they say, "You are your own worst critic"...that is so true...anyway...don't know what I'm going to do next...I would like to really take my time this time writing....not being pushed & hurried to make a deadline...where's the 'creativity' in that?? I think it's the worst!! Too much pressure!! So, that's what's going on for now....Join me on this daily journey......I think it will be fun!!,Angel
