My blogs lately have centered around the Bethany Deaton murder. This is because stories like these weigh heavily on my heart. I lay in bed at night and pray for her family. You see, I have friends and loved ones involved in cult-type groups and Bethany's family is now living my worst fear.
I fear waking up one morning and reading headlines that speak of another Jim Jones or David Koresh incident. I fear turning on the news to see my friend or family member's face plastered all over as another victim who fell prey to a "feel-good-movement."
There are times when the worry breaks me... and for my own emotional health I must step away from the topic for a while. I will continue to pray for Bethany's family.
This week is Thanksgiving and it reminds me of how thankful I am for the many blessings in my life. God has given me so much more than I deserve and I am humbled by His love for me.
It is also a time when I want to say "thank you" to my readers and supporters, and I have chosen to do this by entering all of my site members into a drawing for a FREE kindle. The winner of the drawing will also receive a FREE download of one of my novels of their choice.
I am honored to be a member of a select group of authors who are participating in a Mystery We Write Blog Tour running from November 26th thru December 11th. At the end of this tour, I will announce the winner of the FREE kindle.
Please join us on the Mystery We Write Blog Tour, as each author will be having their own free giveaways.
