Check out my new website, just launched today.! https://www.poetchrisbreva.com.

My new book "Teatime" will be published soon. I asked my publisher to go ahead and launch my website beforehand because I want to do some blogging and build my brand through the site. If any of my readers are looking for a publisher, my publisher is accepting manuscripts! Yes. They are a self-publisher, which means you pay them to publish your book. However, they are a full service agency meaning they do editing, illustration, the whole job. They took some bad press because a woman sued them. She thought they were going to make her instantly rich. Publishing does not work that way. Getting published does not make one successful or famous. Once a book is published, the writer must work their tail off to market the book. My publisher will help with some marketing but the bulk is on me. I understood that and self-published after traditionally publishing four other books.

If you want to contact my agent, his name is Mario Gonzaga. His email is [e-mail]. His website is https:www.readersmagnet.com. Tell him Marvin Schrebe sent you.

Am I worshiping God or complaining to God? What attitude am I bringing my requests to God with?"

I try to never complain to God. There are times I want to. I admit that, but I try to never do so. You see, I consider complaining to be a lack of faith. God never leaves me to struggle alone. He is always there facing every storm with me and He is much bigger than any storm. He has never let me get killed. He has led me into some narrow escapes, but He has always seen me through. He has allowed me to suffer drug addiction, cancer, emphysema, broken bones (neck, skull, back, arm) and multiple surgeries for kidney stones, heart, gall bladder / appendix, and more. He has never let me die. I've suffered but I know the suffering made me who I am today. I trust God completely. Complaining means I do not trust God's judgment. It means I think I know better than God or question His decisions. If you want an example of what happens when we do not completely trust God I refer you to Genesis 3. Adam and Eve thought God was holding out on them. Look where that got us all! Trust God!

Paragliding  (E) During a ride on a para-glider #1745324 by Fyn

I would love to go paragliding. On the other hand, the thought terrifies me. I get dizzy at high elevations and feel like I am falling. No thank you though it sounds beautiful.

Thank you for covering for me Princess Megan Snow Rose . I had a Bible study last night. It is held every other Tuesday, or was prior to the pandemic. Last night was the restart. Not only did I see a friend I have not seen in over a year, I also felt obligated since I am the chaplain.
