On July 2 I submitted a book proposal to a publisher for a work incorporating photos, Bible texts, and short original poems among other things, a sort of alphabet book for adults, suitable for children. Getting an answer back from publishers usually takes a long time, weeks or months, but I am praying for a quicker response. Why? Time flies. By that I mean, it runs out. Time is short. I desire to contribute to the message: God is love. He is available to save. He wants to save. He calls for responses. He calls for His children to share the gospel. Probably delays are times of growth and training. I must be patient and work on other projects such as working on the yard and other manuscripts.
