All of us have probably heard that question many times, but does it really get your attention?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this social media crazy world<\/em> we live these days, everybody is vying for your attention to promote something: themselves, a product, a service, a cause, an agenda… the list goes on and on. Sometimes we feel exhausted just from the bombardment of information that never stops. May I encourage you today to stop, take a deep breath, and relax. Disconnect from distractions. Detox mentally and emotionally from things that don’t speak positively into your lives. We need to surround ourselves with people and things that bring us peace.<\/p>\n\n\n

I Am Guilty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m an author, so I confess that I am guilty of vying for your attention as well. Of course I want you to read all my books and all my blog posts. It’s not for my vain glory, but because I think the Lord has gifted me with a storytelling ability that speaks positively into your lives. I began my authorhood journey in 2009 with the sole purpose of bringing honor and glory to God.<\/strong> That will never change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that being said, may I have your attention for a couple of quick announcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 19, 2022, I wrote this blog post: Thank You for Living Inside the Testimony With Me!<\/a> to share the emotional day my book became an Amazon #1 bestseller. Since that time, I’ve been blessed to have two book trailers created to compliment the book. I’m posting both of them below for your viewing pleasure. The first one is the extended version, which is almost 2.5 minutes. Again, this goes back to vying for your time. Back in the day, we all had an extra 148 seconds to spare. What happened to us? Realizing many will not watch a video for that long, the second one below is the shorter version, which is only 52 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
