Great sermon from Pastor Cordeiro. He talked about how God shows up during the journey. It is in the "in between moments" when we may be struggling where God does his best work. Pastor Cordeiro starts sermon at 22:05 in the video welcome.saddleback.com/watch/live. #cancer #christians #christianity

Always enjoy learning about the people who purchase my book. Roxanne stopped by to get her book signed. She is a #hopeharvester. She bought this book for another person battling cancer. Bless her and those who are spreading hope and inspiration. #cancer #ChristianBooks #ThanksCancer #breastcancer

Thankful for taking a break to celebrate the 4th. What a wonderful time in sunny Santa Barbara, CA. Fireworks at the beach was truly a special experience.
