As authors, it is easy to get destination fever, where we are so focused on the destination that we fail to enjoy the journey. What does it mean to be a success as a Christian author? Should we measure ourselves the same way secular authors measure themselves?
To help us answer this question, we will be talking with the bestselling and Christy hall-of-fame author James L. Rubart.

Where Is My Money?
As a measure of success
an aeroplane would be nice,
and in an ancient rusted mess
God took my advice.
It came upon a flatbed truck,
and had not flown in scores of years;
and after I had hailed my luck,
I sat down and had five beers.
Now will come the endless days
of cut, replace, and mend,
making skills of bygone days,
and their tools, my friends,
for when God’s word we try to heed
He will give us what we need.
This was pure gold. Thank you so much, Thomas and Jim. I’m bookmarking this one to listen to again and again.
So glad you liked it, Deb!
You have given us a priceless gift here. Thank you, Thomas and Jim.
Very welcome, Lori. 🙂
