I received an e-mail today from my publisher saying they are shipping the author copies of A Journey Shared to me! This is the final approval step before they make the book available for purchase through their website, and then the myriad of other online book sellers. That means in a few days… I will…

Just had to get this in here today. 🙂 I love our daughter. She is a true gift from God to us. She is beautiful, and happy, and growing more in personality every day! Today is her birthday. We celebrated with some of her favorite things, and even a quick visit from Grammy and Grandpa…

I have had a couple comments/questions recently that go something like this… “Book? What book?!” 🙂 Well, I mentioned it here sometime in January. But since I have received the cover already, and that contains a brief description of the book on the back, thought I would just share that with you! The book, A…

I am tired. I even got to sleep in today… on purpose… and it worked. But I’m still tired! Here’s why: (1) I woke up in South Carolina and will go to bed in Pennsylvania. (2) I drove all that way. (3) Well, OK… Jen drove the first 2 hours I think… (4) We have…

More than three thousand miles, and nine states later, all Alex can think of is “our Lello House”. (Our house is yellow.) All those adventures, all the new people, even a two-day fun-filled excursion through the magical World of Disney… and all we want is our Lello House. There is a familiarity to home that…

A couple weekends ago now, we were hanging out with my cousins, and the topic of wealth briefly came up for discussion. We were sharing some stories of our financial tight-rope walking and she was sharing theirs and we both said something alluding to our lack of wealth. The funny part was, we both thought…

“I’m not that religious…” Have you heard people tell you this before? I have. If you are a Christ-follower I bet you have as well. Usually if people know that we have aligned ourselves with Jesus in some way, they often will offer that information. One recent weekend past, I met a fellow named George….

Did you know I am an ordained pastor? Well, I believe I would officially be called a minister by the group of churches who ordained me. It’s true! One of my aunts even calls me Rev. Campbell. (In written correspondence.) If I was to take a pastorate somewhere, you might see on the sign out…

The final corrected proof is done and will be submitted today. Thanks to my awesome sister-in-law for helping with the final proof read. (But she’s a little too good, if you ask me… a writer’s self-confidence sure is precarious in the hands of an eagle-eyed grammatician. Is that a word?) Once that is done, they…
