Houston

hello travel buddies!

we are finally enroute to mexico. right now i sit here on the floor below the illustrious 'united club'. an airport employee told me that if you get real close to the doors you can get free WiFi. he's right :)  as i look around i see several other people with laptops loitering in the 'secret' free zone.

we were scheduled to leave 2 weeks ago. i rescheduled to accomodate my boss, which was a good thing because 2 storms went to the same place and we missed them. hurricane rina lingered a little longer than joe liked, and then she made a u-turn! so again we rescheduled for today. it's clear skies now, so we're off to mexico.

hopefully our hotel has WiFi like they said they do.  i'll write when i can.  my computor is all charged up now (joe found a plug by an electric car--under the WiFi club).  we are going to board soon.

hasta luego, heidi

Another review!!!

As I share this with you, I realize I have not put any of my reviews up on my blog for you to see!  I need to remedy this error . . . Here's a review I received today . . .

"I honestly enjoyed this thriller of a book. Well developed and interesting characters and storyline. Once you get into this rabbit hole you’ll enjoy spending time as the plot twists and turns. It grabbed my attention from the start and held it throughout. I look forward to the next effort by this talented writer." JH

And a few others . . .

"A great fast read. Kept my intrest the whole time. It had everything from action to romance. If you liked the movie true lies you'll like this book. Can't wait to read her next book!" KH

"I really enjoyed this book. Could not put it down. It was very exciting and I fell in love with the characters. Can't wait until her next book." JL

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was gripping from the beginning, and fast moving without losing you in the plot twists with a tasteful touch of romance. I await the sequel." DD

"I loved this book. It was a fun read with lots of twists and turns. The characters were fun (or detestable!), but certainly interesting. The scenic descriptions were easy to picture in my mind's eye. The plot had me going from the beginning. I think this would make a great movie! Can't wait until Heidi's next book comes out." ML

Great Quote

Loved this quote from church on Sunday:

In 1980 a young man from Rwanda was forced by his tribe to either renounce Christ or face certain death. He refused to renounce Christ, and he was killed on the spot. The night before he had written the following commitment which was found in his room:

“I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed, the die has been cast, I have stepped over the line, the decision has been made- I’m a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I’m finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed vision, worldly talking, cheap giving & dwarfed goals.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I won’t give up, shut up, let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up for the cause of Jesus Christ.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till everyone knows, work till He stops me & when He comes for His own, He will have no trouble recognizing me because my banner will have been clear.”
