Thank you all for your prayers and emails!

As many of you read on my blog, my hubby had to spend Friday night in the hospital. They determined that he has Atrial Fibrillation, which means that his heart got off-rhythm and was beating too fast (his pulse was over 160 beats per minute and they like to see it under 100 - yikes!). They gave him a big dose of medicine, some shots, and the grand (make that not-so-grand) hospital treatment.

The cardiologist says this could happen again at anytime, but isn't life-threatening. They've given him some medication that will hopefully keep it from happening, but there will always be the possibility. Thankfully, he responded well to the medicine and they didn't have to go any farther or shock his heart. Praise God!

So, we're exhausted, but SO SO thankful that God allowed the answer to be fairly "simple" and straight-forward. They are still working on figuring out what caused this in the first place. It's pretty unusual at 27, but not unheard of. We follow up with the cardiologist in 3 weeks, so hopefully we'll know more then.

Thank you all for your prayers and emails. How wonderful to feel God's love through all of you!

In His Love,
Jill

* Thanks for your great newsletter. I have a business booster tip that seems very simple, but I'm amazed that most online business owners don't do it. It's based on the fact that YOU ARE YOUR BEST MARKETER. This means you should have business cards, flyers, etc. printed up with information about your business, so when you go out you can give them to people you talk with during the day. Most people you run across during a typical day won't remember you site without having something to remind them of it. Remember, just because you're online, doesn't mean you don't have to invest in face-to-face marketing!

You should also always include a business card or some printed material with the product when you ship it so the customer has something to refer back to, or give a friend.

* I love all of the great information I find in the Newsletters!

The biggest thing that is a business builder for me is to "Under Promise and Over Deliver" to my customers. I am the owner of the Central Virginia Home Resource Directory and I sell advertising to local businesses that cater to the home owner. So, when I sign on a new advertiser, I tell them that I will have an ad for them to review in 4 days, then have it ready for them in 2 days. This works well for my other business too, as I also am a rep for Melaleuca. I tell my customers that I will call them by the 10th of the month to help them place their orders and then I call them by the 5th.

I was driving through my neighborhood recently when I noticed a sign taped to the light poles announcing, "LOST DUCK." You may be appalled, but it's true. One of our neighbors has a pet duck that I often see waddling around in their backyard. As we live in Nebraska, albeit in a city, I guess this is acceptable to some degree - there is literally a corn field just down the street. So, why not a duck, right? It adds a little character to an otherwise boring street.

I'd never really paid attention to my neighbor's duck other than to giggle about the fact that they also have two duck "ornaments" in their back yard...near the pool. Maybe they thought the duck was lonely? :) But, it struck me when I saw the signs posted on every corner that they must truly care for their duck to go to so much trouble. They were even offering a reward for the safe return of their beloved duck.

The lost duck reminded me of the parable Jesus tells in Luke 15. He talks about a woman who has ten coins, but loses one. She searches high and low for the coin and continues her search until the coin is found. Why does she work so hard for one coin when she has nine others? Why not move on and do something better with her time? She searches until finding the lost coin because in her eyes the coin is valuable. It might not be of much significance to a rich man, but to this woman the coin has great worth.

Just as the coin is valuable to the woman and the duck is worth searching for in the eyes of it's owner, so are we valuable in God's eyes. He tells us in Matthew 10 that He knows the number of hairs on our head. We're told that God waits at the door of our heart, knocking. (Revelation 3:20) He searches us out and asks to be a part of our life.

Have you allowed God to find you? Or are you, like the coin and the duck, lost? Know that He see your value and He is waiting for you to receive Him into your heart.

"Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
Luke 15: 8-10

The Restorer's Son
by Sharon Hinck

If you’ve read Sharon Hinck’s novel, The Restorer, you’ll know what a powerful, out-of-the-box writer she is. I’m always on the look out for unique stories and Hinck never lets me down.

Her newest book, the second in the Sword of Lyric series, continues the story of soccer-mom Susan. In The Restorer, Susan finds herself in an alternate universe. In the Restorer’s Son, as you might gather from the title, her son, Jake finds himself in the alternate universe his mother has just found her way home from.

The story, however, centers on the newly appointed restorer, Kieran. Kieran is an outcast who is despised by many on the council. When Kieran is banished by the council, the hope of the nation hangs in perilous balance. Can Kieran find a way to survive and return to his homeland or has he blown his chance as restorer? And can Susan find her son now that she doesn’t have the powers of a restorer?

Hinck, named the 2007 Writer of the Year at the Mt. Hermon Writer’s Conference, has in some ways created a new genre. Her mom-lit fantasy series, The Sword of Lyric, is refreshing and unique. I generally like the first book in a series more than the second, but Hinck, as always, surpassed my expectations. I read the book in a matter of hours and I became so engrossed with the characters that I couldn’t put it down until I knew how it ended. I love the universe she’s created and can’t wait to visit again when the third book in the series becomes available.
