I have been traveling around the country recently and took the opportunity to test market “God Loves You So Much…”. This included families reading the book during flight delays and I even gave a few copies away.
In one instance, my flight was delayed and everyone with connecting flights was likely going to miss them. A father with three young girls was scrambling with his iPad and iPhone attempting to arrange a different connection, but the girls kept asking to play with his iPad. I could see he was getting frustrated, so I offered the girls a copy of “God Loves You So Much…” to help distract them.
First, the oldest girl read to the younger two and then they took turns “reading” the book individually. I was glad the book kept their attention as long as it did.
After the father completed his calls, he asked me a few questions about the book and, ironically, they used to live in the same area. We spoke for a few minutes and then he called his wife to inform him of their situation.
While on the phone, he mentioned the book to her and that it was published in Mount Horeb. She must have asked who published the book, because he asked if it was self-published. I responded that it was and he told his wife “Yeah, it’s self-published…anyone can do that.”
Anyone… indeed.

It has been a truly blessed week for us at Learn As You Grow. Our first book reading was a huge success on Thursday and we made arrangements with our first bookstore today!
“God Loves You So Much…” is now available at The Prairie Bookshop in Mount Horeb, WI.
We will be working to add additional outlets in the future and the book will also be available at this website.
But, for now, The Prairie Bookshop is your exclusive dealer for “God Loves You So Much…”
Thanks John!

We are so excited! The first public reading of “God Loves You So Much…” was a big success!
Our book was included as part of the curriculum at summer bible camp yesterday.
The book was shared with over 20 children ranging in age from 2.5 to 4 and apparently they loved it. I guess it is a good sign when a book captures and keeps that attention of that many children. A few children even came back during breaks to have another look.
Special thanks to New Heights Lutheran for including us and to Korey for reading to the children!

If you have a few minutes and are interested in science, you should check out this YouTube video. Theodore Gray discusses his “periodic table” table…
and how he recently created an app for the iPad to showcase the elements…
It looks like this app not only showcases the elements, but also the capabilities of the iPad.
Pretty cool.

God called a friend home today
A friend to you and me
A beacon to the world around
No equal could there be
Courageous in his battle
He fought back the disease
Extra time for him and us
Precious memories
It’s hard to fight against the tears
Controlling fears and thoughts
When losing someone so unique
No way to measure loss
A husband and a father gone
But never out of mind
His light still shines through their eyes
And will for all their time
A trail of smiles and laughter
A path of joy and fun
Brightened days and touched lives
His legacy is won
We always seek for answers
But struggle on the way
Impossible to know God’s plan
Still asking “Why?” today
A loss too tough to think beyond
But there the truth may be
To know him was a gift from God
Simple and complete
