Pat Oaks always has a story (and has the books to prove it, including the one you are holding now). She seems to have an encounter daily that was delivered to her straight from God! I thought that hosting a blog site for her would be fantastic. I was correct in thinking that. It has been a joy to get an almost daily email from mom with another wonderful adventure. I've been so honored to be the first to read these and then post them to share with all of you. Flip through Mom's books, or search through her blog feed (prishapatter.com), and you'll likely find a tale about me drawing on the walls, or catching carpet on fire, or challenging my mother's explicit order to stop turning the light switch on and off. If you dug really deep, you might hear stories of heartbreak dealing with a rebellious teenager. Whatever has happened, and whatever I've done, one thing has remained certain: my mother loved me through it all and has been a constant inspiration. I hope the stories in this book provide the same for you.
