Great Verses and My book signing phobia
Welcome Proverbs 31 "Encouragement for Today" readers. The whole topic of watching our words with our husbands is something near and dear to my heart. I have messed up with this more time than I care to count.

But one thing that has helped me tremendously is filling up my mind with God's truth. For a list of wonderfully helpful Scripture verses to help stop careless words, click here, scroll to the bottom and read the comments from this post.

On a completely different note, I'll be speaking at the Christian Book Expo this weekend in Dallas. Yes, remember that little concern I had about needing a Depends when I meet--- pause- breathe-- Henry Blackaby.

Yes, well, I have another concern.

I have book signing phobia.

I'm not kidding.

It's just plain awful y'all.

At one of my first book signings ever, I got all excited that a person actually got in my line. Well, I say "line"--- it was anything but.

This friend of mine was the only one who picked up on my desperate signals for SOMEONE TO WANT MY BOOK- PLEASE!

Too bad I was a sad disappointment when I actually went to sign my sweet friend's book. I meant to write, "I am so glad you are my friend."

But something got lost in translation from my brain to my hand. So, what I actually scribbled in permanent ink across the first page of her book was, "Aren't you so glad you're my friend."

Have mercy.

Doesn't that make you want to come to one of my book signings so you can place bets on what kind of craziness might be scribbled on your book?

Well, for the two of you interested and who happen to be close to Dallas, today is your lucky day. I have two sets of Christian Book Expo tickets to give away.

Just let me know in the comments and I'll pick two winners and e-mail you today.

For the rest of you, please pray that I will be able to hold both my thoughts and my bladder together this weekend.
