@mandypsiaki was one of the first women I called when I started interviews for #beyondthepointbook. Her candor and love were apparent in every single story she shared. But none wrecked me like her memories of our mutual friend, Tim Cunningham. There are two weeks left until this book is available everywhere. Here’s the truth: I did it for Tim.
Oh hey breakfast burrito 👋

This kid is ready for the show.
When I received @katequinn5975’s cover quote - I literally screamed so loud that Patrick came running upstairs thinking I’d dropped Sam on his head. . Kate’s novel “The Alice Network” has sold a million copies and #TheHuntress is already well on its way to matching that achievement. I am so thankful to have her support, encouragement and endorsement. Kate - with these words, you breathed a world of possibility into my novel. THANK YOU. . Three short weeks to go 💙
“The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.” - General Douglas MacArthur Since the draft ended in 1973, our nation has relied on a wholly volunteer military force. As wonderful as that is - it has also created a deep divide between military and civilian communities. One bears the burden of war, the other receives the privilege of safety. Without the draft, there is no national debate about the conflicts in which we engage. I believe the 20-yr conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq would have ended long a go if the entire nation felt the pain of this burden and loss. We used to grieve war as a nation. Now only one Segment of the population grieves. My hope is that #beyondthepointbook will help all people experience for a moment the heavy burden that only a few have chosen to bear. 📸: @thousandwerds
This morning, my bible reading took me to Exodus chapter 3, when God calls Moses to lead his people out of bondage. Over and over and over again Moses tells God that he has the wrong guy. He sees himself as a murderer, an adopted Israelite kid who was raised by Egyptians. He believes that because of his weird upbringing, he will never be accepted by either side. But Moses was wrong. In fact - it was precisely because of his “outsider” identity that he was able to approach pharaoh and lead the Israelites. He had access to both groups. Where are you today? Do you feel like an outsider? Do you feel that you are disqualified from service because of your past behavior or your present pain or your future which looks empty? What if you’re wrong? What if God put you in that exact position so that he can work through you? What if your peculiar position — as painful as it might be — is essential to His plan? ❤️
