Hello Friends

I have some exciting news to share with you!

The Book of Ruth: A Story of Love and Redemption in Paperback by: Deborah H. Bateman

The Book of Ruth:

A Story of Love and Redemption

Now Available in Paperback

at Create Space.

and on Amazon

Because of some design issues we had to change the cover, so it is different than the cover for the Kindle version, It still has the same coloring as our Kindle book and the Daily-Bible-Reading logo. It has the same great content, but has been updated to include lines to answer the questions so it can be used as a workbook as well.

I wanted to get it in print for those of you who prefer paperback. It will be good for people to use as personal Bible study and devotional or for group Bible studies and devotionals. Celebrate with me. My first book in print.

What’s Your Passion

What’s Your Passion

By: Deborah H. Bateman

What does passion mean to you? Passion to me is a strong desire for something. Passion is a longing in your heart, soul, and body for something or someone.

What are you passionate about? What drives you? What are you zealous for? What would you do if no one paid you anything? What do you love? Common wisdom says if you can find what it is you are truly passionate about as your way of living, you will be able to live a happy life. When you are passionate about something it doesn’t feel like work. You love doing it. You enjoy it so much that you would do it whether you were being paid or not.

Don’t get me wrong, it is nice to get paid for doing your work, but when you are passionate about a cause or something you enjoy doing it is much easier to do the work it requires. It is as if you live to do it. You thrive when you are doing it. Your passion could be a million different things. Some people really enjoy doing art. They love drawing, painting, or doing some type of craft. Others enjoy music. They love to play instruments or sing. Some enjoy acting. They love dressing up and getting into different roles.

I love studying the Bible and sharing it with others. I enjoy writing. I always knew it was easier for me to express my feelings in writing than it was through speech, but, I only discovered in the past few years how I could use that passion to share with others through writing blogs and books.

I hope you discover your passion, because when you do you get so much joy out of it. Don’t get me wrong, it is still work. Sometimes you may get tired or frustrated, but when you love doing something you keep coming back to it. No one has to prompt you to do it. You do it because that is what you love.

How does your passion drive you? If you tap into your passion, it can drive you to succeed. It energizes you. It gives you a reason to live. It gives you a purpose.

Once you discover your passion or what it is you want to write about you can begin to work on building your platform.

How to use Twitter

How to use Twitter

By: Deborah H. Bateman

The first thing you have to do is you need to create an account and a profile and a user name. You can only have one user name per email address. Go to: http://twitter.com

Once you have your profile established you can start to follow people and invite friends to follow you.

On the Home page you can see the tweets of all the people you are following. You can send your tweet messages. You have 140 characters in which to send your message. You can reply, retweet, or favorite your friends messages.

Click on @connect to see who has followed you, retweeted your tweets, and tagged your post as a favorite. Send your friends a message thanking them for following, RTing, Faving, or reply to their message.

#Discover gives you some of the top tweets. It also gives suggestions of people for you to follow. You can find friends by clicking on Find Friends and then clicking on yahoo, Gmail, aol, Hotmail or invite them to follow you via email. You can click on categories to search for people you may be interested in following in certain categories.

There is also a place that shows you some of the hot topics under trends. It will show hash tags that are being used a lot or other words that are used a lot.

You can also link your twitter account with your Facebook account so when you send a tweet Twitter will forward it to Facebook.

I like to create what I call “Tweet Sheets” for each one of my book, blogs, free days for books, etc. That way I can copy and paste them to schedule my tweets. I can keep adding to them and don’t have to constantly reinvent the wheel. I made up a schedule for my tweets. I have a schedule for each blog, site and book. This helps me to spread my tweets out throughout the day.
