Coronavirus began in China in 2019. 2020 will be remembered in every nation of the world, each battling the pandemic, even into 2021. "This Is the Day the Lord Has Made" is based on Psalm 118:24. The first and the last verse of the psalm are as apropos, "Give thanks to the Lord" (NIV) Thanksgiving is my theme throughout. The first of two books (same title), this book January thru June; the second, July thru December 2020 (pre-Christmas). I've added a little fun by including numerous National Days of the Year, hopefully entertaining? Politics intrude, 2020 being an election year. I show my colors. Not everyone will agree with me! Charles de Gaulle said, "Politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians." Lincoln: "Be sure to put your feet in the right place, then stand firm." And Jefferson: "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Amen to each! Every day, rejoice and be glad! My writing career began in 2010 after my wife succumbed to breast cancer and after my forty-five years in Christian education. Barbara and I had three beautiful kids and now ten wonderful grandkids. Reading, writing, biking, gardening, and birding allow me to enjoy fresh air and sunshine every day. Worship often inspires my writing. If an idea for a book or just a title comes to mind, I get up, jot a note, and develop that thought in the morning. Coronavirus prompted me to write when "Stay Home, Keep Your Distance, and Don't Gather" were the rules. These two books are my seventh and eighth publications. I plan many more. God is good! His love endures!
