25 ~ Typing Tips

By Kay Heitsch

As I said before, I had been reading books by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale before Todd died. Actually, I did not know he was a Christian minister.

I thought Dr. Peale might be a psychologist. I was searching for something to fill the void in my life.

Dr. Peale wrote about people who had a life I wanted. He gave tips at the end of some chapters that you could put into practice.

After my dad died, also on February 6th, I had a feeling like I was going to die. I started typing out tips from these books for Todd. I figured he could teach them to Shannon and Brandon when I was dead.

Little did I know these tips were going to be for me.

I also bought a little "Have A Great Day" daily devotional book by Dr. Peale. I put it on the counter in the kitchen. Todd read the day's devotional every morning. He had a journal where I found several quotes from this book.

Dr. Peale was for the unchurched, so he used Bible verses in a way that showed the Bible as a means to help people, like me, become interested in it.

After Todd died, I went out and bought a Good News Bible TEV. I spent hours studying this Bible. I had a lot to learn and unlearn.

My biggest question was, Where is Todd?
