Shalom

Jo Anne Lyon enlisted me to write a youth fiction series to help kids become aware of world issues. She sent me to West Africa last December, and Book 1 is now nearly ready to hit the presses. (Sneak preview to the main character's blog.)

Tomorrow Larry and I are heading to Israel so I can become familiar with that country in preparation for Book 2. I know so little about Israel—except for what I read in the Bible—that I am able to go into my research with eyes wide open. I have no prejudices or preconceived notions. I simply don't know what to expect.

Please pray for us—but maybe you should pray even more for my former parents-in-law who are staying at our house with five of our kids.

Israel....now you're making me jealous, it's one of my dreams to go there one day and visit all the places I know from the Bible :-S Well, I'm happy for you ;-) And good luck with the research for your book. I just went to that sneak preview of the main character's blog, and to my surprise I read in her last entry that she 'was' in Holland! Now you're making me proud :-D (I'm from Holland!). It's so funny to hear tourists always say that they think it's amazing that everybody is riding on a bike here. I know we're good in riding a bike, but euhm...reading a book on a bike (Lydia says that)??? Hmm, maybe in a dream? :-P

Oh, and before I forget to say, of course I will pray for you!
