Well the family has been in Colorado for almost a year! What an excruciating trip to move several states over. But all moved in and a more difficult challenge: covid19 and our state's response was chilling; very destructive. By now, most have made it through, but how many of you suffered overwhelming things? I pray for those who've lost savings, careers, business. You who've had devasting hurt, anxiety and brokenheartedness. I pray for you regularly. Yes, I really do.
O God, You alone can heal Your people. And as always, 2 Chronicles 7:14 is God's plea and help. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
My new book for Junior High ages has been in the works a while, and will be put off a while longer. This new book is about a young man whose heart is pressed about the meaning of love. It's set in the 90's during Kurt Cobain & the Smashing Pumpkins. When video games kept a generation indoors, yet skateboarding was healthy way to travel. Keep checking back.
Kathy Banks is an author and self-publisher. Twenty years ago, Kathy authored Real Home School, 30 Proverbs For A Mother’s Heart (poetry), and
The Real Home School Handbooks(still available). This year Kathy is back to writing a new genre: Children's stories. Earlier this year she published, "Momma, Do You Remember When You Asked Jesus Into Your Heart?" And available now is "How Do We Know It's Jesus?" Her daughter, Kelly, is the illustrator. Check out Kelly Renee Studios on the same website.
The stories Kathy is writing are from her own children's questions & out of the baby books decades ago. Kathy is hoping to help parents with young children to turn the bedtime blues into memory-making-moments. She writes: "True peace can be hard to come by in this overly busy life, but our children can help us see what's most important. Jesus said that He came that we might have LIFE and life more abundantly. John 10:10. Did God give us children to also remind us to have fun? That is what every little child seems to know, as they live to celebrate life." Check out the many reviews on her website. Kathy lives in California with her husband of 39 years.
