How deep is the well of free water and how long does it take to empty it? The well is as deep as the last person's thirst and will last until the thirstiest soul has drank their fill. The only way to insure fresh water is to dig your own well, with your own strength and trust God that water is at the bottom of the hole.
When we lose the will to dig our own well, we lose the freedom to do so. Stand up, my friends. Let your voice be heard---now. If you don't, we may begin the Age of Silence.

LET NOT SILENCE PREVAIL
"He started the whole world singing a song . . ." (1) The beautiful words, written by Gloria Gaither, were singing within me when I woke up this morning. When the Word of God is grounded in your heart and the songs of praise to Him share the same space, they sing in your soul even while you are sleeping.
We are tethered, by an unbreakable golden thread, to the source of all Love, Peace, and song. When we ignore or refuse to accept that connection, it is not God who cuts the cord, we simply let the rescue ship sail on past because will not get in the life boat. We condemn ourselves.
When you were in school, how did you learn a passage of Shakespear? And, how did you memorize your Math Facts in Elementary School? You rehearsed, you practiced, you spoke and wrote them over and over until they were buried deep within you.
That is how we grasp the tether line. First, we ask the Holy Spirit to enter our heart and take up residence there. Then, we flood our mind with His Word and songs of praise. The Holy Spirit will help us understand the meaning of the words and seal their presence in our lives when we have put forth the effort to read, study, pray and sing.
Christiana Applewait, in my futuristic novel Length of Days - The Age of Silence, lives in 2112. In the one-hundred years between then and now, society has managed to forbid the name of God to be spoken or written in any form. All Bibles have been confiscated and all music has been banned. Babies are tagged at birth to determine their Length of Days and the water supply has been laced with drugs that block everyone’s ability to feel emotions. A reverence for life has faded away on the dark wind of fairness, civility and control.
Where can Christiana turn for hope and comfort with no God or Scripture to guide her? Then, a spark is lit that fans the Spirit of God within her. She races through the city in the Central Zone of what had been a United country, in search of a way to over turn the Length of Days policy and save her grandparents, members of the Counsel of Twelve. She is reminded of a spiritual indwelling she had as a child and prays to God, whom she has just come to know, for help in her quest.
Will our God Blessed Land be stripped of everything that makes us American due to our own silence? Perhaps 2112 is not the Age of Silence. Maybe it has already begun and Christiana only lives in a future time when it is fully implemented. Could it be that we are living in the early stages of The Age of Silence?
What can we do to stop the coming Change, the approaching Silence? We must remain silent no more. God does not speak up for Himself. We are His witnesses and when good people remain silent, all manner of evil can overtake the good and drive us into darkness. We must pray for the Holy Spirit to enter our lives so that we can understand the approaching silence and speak out before it engulfs us all in a deafening void
Many people have never prayed with hope and faith that their prayer will be answered. Like Christiana, this may be their first time. Such a prayer might sound like this:
"Father God, you have kept me by your side since I lived near my mother’s heart. Holy are you and I praise your name. I ask in this very moment, that your Holy Spirit will live within me that I may learn the truth of you and feel your comforting presence at all times. Forgive me when I have chosen to remain silent and pretend you are not here. Today, I turn my life toward you and home. I accept your Grace and ask that you teach me how to speak out for you and pass your love and strength on to others. In the name of Jesus, your son and my Savior, I pray. Amen."

CATHERINE MARSHALL AND I
"I’m sorry, I have no gas. I can’t move my car away from the pumps until you reopen," my husband, Bill, explained. There wasn’t enough gas in the tank to turn the engine over to restart it.
We had come to the Washington D.C./Virginia area for my interview with the Christian writer, Catherine Marshall. It was during the summer of gas rationing. We had coasted on fumes all the way down the off ramp and around the curb into the station driveway.
"Well, okay," the service station attendant agreed and pumped enough gas to carry us out of town. By the time our tank was full, there was a line of thirsty cars out across the station drive and down the block. We felt badly for the kind service station attendant.
All of the angst and threatening gas gage were soon forgotten. My morning with Catherine Marshall was inspiring.
Catherine was shorter than I had imagined, but looked like her pictures with dark hair and smiling eyes. Even though she had been meeting with a Bible Study group in her basement, she took the time to answer all of my questions with grace and patience. The material I gathered was for an article I was to write for a new national magazine. The company’s decision to not launch the new periodical took absolutely nothing away from my trip to the beautiful rolling hills around Evergreen Farm in Lincoln, Virginia.
Before I left, Catherine invited me to take a tour of their new Chosen Books Publishing building in a former, eight-room, two-story red brick schoolhouse. There were two "classrooms" on each side of a wide center hallway, both upstairs and down. The old hardwood floors gleamed in the afternoon sun. The building stood just down the road from the home Catherine shared with her husband, Len LeSourd. My tour there was another priceless experience. I asked Catherine if she was involved in the publishing business in any way.
"Oh my no," she answered. "Writing and publishing are two entirely different talents in the book business."
Chosen Books was started on prayer, inspiration and a faith in the Lord’s Guiding by John and Elizabeth (Tib) Sherrill. The Sherrills invited their friends, Len and Catherine LeSourd to experience the dream and great adventure with them.
The June I was there, they had been thrilled by a recent addition to their small staff. A young man had contacted them with a proposal. He would come to work for them for one year at no salary, just for the opportunity to learn the publishing business from the ground up. The only thing he asked was that they might have a room in the building in which he could live so he wouldn’t have to pay rent somewhere else. The Sherrills and LeSourds thought they had caught the brass ring and the young man believed he was the one who was blessed. It was a win-win situation in a world of win-lose, or lose-and-lose-some-more.
It is with that kind of faith and trust that I have decided to offer my novel, Length of Days - The Age of Silence in hardback on the website www.directbuybooks.com. It is already available as an e-Book on www.amazon.com and www.bn.com and others, so why not offer it in a real-as-life, hand-held paper form? I had been reluctant to take that next step. I could hear Catherine Marshall’s words, "Writing and publishing are two entirely different talents in the book business."
The publishing world, however, has changed a great deal since the introduction of electronic books. Writers have had to learn to be marketing professionals, self-promoters, publishers, website designers, and more. The eBook is a wonderful opportunity to offer books, but some older readers do not have computers and many want to actually hold the book in their own hand.
For an author, an eBook is uploaded to an online book seller and is then available to anyone who wants to purchase it for their computer, eReader, android, or any other electronic device that has an app for eReading. A paper book must be designed, printed, warehoused until purchase, then boxed and shipped.
You have no idea how different business tasks are (supervising employees in every detail) from creative writing. To me, managing those details is like the hand wringing experience of driving down a D.C. expressway on an empty tank of gas, during an hour when the gas is rationed and the pumps are turned off.
I am however, determined to be obedient and to follow the will of the Lord as I understand it. I am happy to announce that Length of Days - The Age of Silence is now available as a hardback on the Direct Buy Books website.
Enjoy the read. Race with Christiana Applewait through the streets of her city in 2112 as she frantically hurries to find a way to overturn the Length of Days policy and change the fate of her beloved grandparents. She has until after Gift Giving Season to find a solution. Will she make it in time?

TWO GRANDFATHERS, OTHER TIMES
"Albert, the church trustees and I would like to talk to you," the Pastor called up to the gray haired man in bib overalls who balanced himself near the church steeple.
The old man moved his block and tackle across the steep roof ridge a little further and inched his body into position. "Sure, Reverend, just as soon as I get these shingles nailed down," Al agreed.
"Well, now, Albert," the minister stated respectfully, "that’s just it. It’s the roof we want to talk to you about."
"Can’t stop just yet. I’m losing daylight." Albert Kime faithfully kept at his job.
Al was my husband’s grandfather, a strong, gentle man who began rearing his youngest daughter’s children when they were five months, two and a half, seven and nine-years old. Grandpa was seventy-six and Grandma was sixty-six when the children moved in.
Albert had already retired from the New York Central Rail Road as foreman of the bridge building crew after an accident that cost him the sight in one eye. When he started parenting the second family, he added to his eighty-eight dollar a month pension with his work at the church across the street. Nothing seemed to stop him. Every day, he would carry two, twenty pound buckets of coal ash in each hand, from the furnace in the basement, up the steps and out the door.
After the sun set and Albert had finished his shingle repair, the trustees finally met with their busy custodian in the pastor’s study. For want of other words, the chairman of the committee asked, "Albert, you just had your birthday recently, didn’t you? What am I thinking? Of course you did. The whole church celebrated."
"The thing is, Al," the pastor stumbled into the conversation, "some of the men are feeling guilty about you climbing on the church roof. The roofing company had refused the job. They said the slope was too steep for them—and, well, you are ninety-two years old now."
Grandma and Grandpa Kime were different from Christiana’s grandparents in my novel, Length of the of Days - The Age of Silence. Even though Christiana’s wonderful old ones were privileged citizens in 2112, at age seventy-five, they had come to the end of their Length of Days. They would be picked up and driven to the portal chamber under Howard Mountain. Grandpa Kime lived to be ninety-four years old and died at home, surrounded by his loved ones.
Each set of grandparents were loving and kind, good and steadfast people. But, in 2112 the country had forgotten about those qualities. A reverence for life had been driven from the heart of man.
Christiana is constantly pursued by the Chief Inspector of the Blue Guard. Will she be able to shake his stalking long enough to find a way to overturn the Length Days laws and save her grandparents from the never-ending-sleep? Will she be in time?

HITCH THE BULL TO THE BUGGY
"Stop there, Brother. You know you can’t come to services with your horse outfitted with that bridle!" A cluster of neighbor men in black suits and hats gathered around my husband’s great-grandfather and his family and bared the church door. "That bridle has silver medallions all over it!"
Bill’s ancestors were Pennsylvania Dutch who settled in the green hills before the Revolutionary War. They were plain people who didn’t draw attention to themselves and modesty was appropriate at all times. But, Great-grandpa had his own ways.
Grandpa was a creative carpenter who was capable of making almost anything, from a new rocker for Ma to the barrels that were one of his specialities. One merchant, long in need and short on cash, offered to swap a number of oaken barrels for the silver bridle.
Grandpas liked to keep a firm, strong grip on the horse and used extra thick leather for his harnesses and bridle. He liked the feel of the sturdy reigns. To his eye, the shinny, polished silver detracted from the farm-looking utility of the strapping. Besides, he was adventurous, mischievous, and loved to impress people with a new practical joke.
That Sunday morning, when he hitched the horse to the black buggy with the new silver bridle and drove his family to church, he had taken things too far. The Elders of the church confronted the family before they could set a foot to the ground.
"Don’t you ever drive to church with that silver bridle on your horse again!" they warned.
The next Sunday, Great-Grandpa loaded his family in the buggy but left the horse in the barn. Instead, he hitched his bull to the bridle and drove leisurely off to services. Not a single church member complained about the flashy, silver bridle again.
Christina, in my novel, Length of Days - The Age of Silence, doesn’t ride in a horse-drawn buggy. She sits in a Public Transit and skims above the city on a ribbon of steel. Grandpa lived in 1712 and Christiana’s world is 2112. As you can see, their circumstances are vastly different. Yet, they are similar.
Christiana lives in an age when the water supply is drugged, robbing everyone of emotion. In spite of her practiced indifference, she rebels against a government that has changed the country from a freedom-loving democracy, to a society controlled by a few. The people have no hope, no joy of living and no reverence for life. But, when her dear grandparents near the end of their Length of Days, her passion to find a solution to overthrow the despicable laws that force people into the never-ending-sleep, rises within her and cannot be put down.
What will she do? What can she do? Christi doesn’t have a silver clad bull, but if she did and that was all she had to take a stand against the authorities of her day, she would have outfitted a whole herd of them in shinny silver.
In 2112, the entire society had turned into mind-numbing, robot-like empty shells. If you were the only one who could save your loved ones, even the whole country, what would you be willing to do? Would you be afraid to stand up? Or, would you be brave like Christiana?
Would you have the nerve to hitch the bull to the buggy?

Thank You
Thanks to all of you who chose to read on Super Bowl Sunday and downloaded my eBook to your computer, android, or eReader! Don't let the lack of a football game keep you from reading it, however. A nice eTune gift card will download the eBook, Length of Days - The Age of Silence for Valentine's Day. It's an adventure, futuristic, fast paced love-story. See, there's a great way to say, "I love you," and not have to take out a loan to do so. How great is that?

Super Bowl Sunday or Super Book Sunday
Super Bowl Sunday is in two days! Okay, so I usually do cross-stitch or read on game day. Still, I don't want to hide in the comfy chair in my bedroom this year. The game is right here in Indiana, in The House That Manning Built. Welcome Eli! We love you both! And Tom, we welcome all Patriots too!
For you non-football types, I suggest you purchase and read my eBook, LENGTH OF DAYS - THE AGE OF SILENCE while the game is on. It's available as an eBook at www.bn.com and www.amazon.com and others at a new, friendlier eBook price.
You don't have an eReader? Both Barnes & Noble and Amazon have a free app to turn your computer or android into an eReader.
Even though the book is riveting, you won't miss the important parts of the football game. You can look up from my great book when your family and friends begin to cheer! You'll notice they will yell the loudest when one of the players is running toward an end-goal. I cheer when I see how many of you have found my blog! Thank you!
Our own goal on Super Bowl Sunday is to enjoy the company of family and friends while experiencing the action of Christiana and Jason who, in 2112, try to find a way to overturn the Length of Days laws, which will forever end the Never-Ending-Sleep. Those who have read my book tell me, "I couldn't put down!" Place LENGTH OF DAYS - THE AGE OF SILENCE on the winning side of the goal line in your day! Go2 www.bn.com or www.amazon.com and type in the title and my name.
Have a wonderful Super Book Sunday!
