Went Ahead and Made My Day
You know, every now and then I get an email that just makes my day.
Someone just wrote to me to tell me how much they like my book:
--------------------------------------------
I've almost finished...and I think it is great. I'd love to purchase my own copy and a copy for my Mom. ... It is such an easy read, keeps me turning the pages, and gets me really thinking. I need to finish it tonight. Then maybe I can catch up on a little sleep. (Like I said, I can't put it down until my eyes are closing without my permission.)
---------------------------------------------
Let me tell you, there is simply no feeling in the world like writing a book and having people respond to it in just the way you hope they will.
(If you'd like your own copy, you can order it from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/059523559X/)

Scott & Max
Is anyone out there a fan of Max Lucado? (If you have no idea who I'm talking about, the rest of this post won't make much sense.)
I had a chance to chat with him for a few minutes last weekend. Really a very nice man.
As it happened, last weekend I was in Abilene, Texas, and while watching the news Friday evening, I learned that he was going to be guest speaker at some society event that evening at Abilene's Civic Center.
So I jumped into my car and went down and crashed the party.
That's not quite as crazy and impulsive as it sounds; Max and I have had a couple of exchanges in the past, but we'd never met. I figured the odds of us both being in the same place at the same time were pretty remote, so I should take advantage of the opportunity.
We're not exactly best buddies or anything--he had only the vaguest recollection of our previous exchanges--but my impression of him was that he's every bit as nice in person as he comes across in his writing.
Here's Max and me. (I'm the cute one.)
