JUST WAITING AROUND?



Well, I'm sort of waiting at the bus stop at the moment, although alot is still going on. My agent is getting ready to pitch my novel, The Chronicles of Soone: The Rise of Lucin to some large christian publishers at this year's International Christian Retailers Show in Atlanta. However I'm very busy with the new pastorate at Grace Baptist Church in Harriman, TN and with trying to get up to speed with the activity already taking place at the church with vacation bible school coming up in a week. New members are ready to join, a few are ready to be baptized and I'm right in the middle of moving my family to the area from two hours away.

Writing-wise I'm right in the middle of my new christian young adult fantasy novel, A WORLD WITHIN (which now has two audio episodes ready to go on my website--jamessomersonline.com).

I've not been nearly as active recently on the blog or the web with all of the new happenings and preparation for the ICRS with my agent, but that just means there's alot going on off camera!

God bless,
James

I AM NOW A PASTOR


As of yesterday's vote, I am now the new Pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Harriman, TN!!

PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS GRACE TOWARD ME AND MY FAMILY!

I've long hoped the Lord would call me to a pastorate and that prayer and dream has now come to fruition. I believe the pastorate is the highest calling in all of the earth and I'm truly honored to have the privilege to serve the Lord in this ministry.
