You're looking at the new In-Person Critique Group Coordinator for Oregon Christian Writers. This position has added many hours to my days, but the work is so rewarding. Up to now, our members have enjoyed three one-day conferences a year, plus a four day summer conference with top notch key note speakers, editors, agents, and Christian writers seeking to be the best they can be. I have been a member since 1987 and love this organization and the people in it. <br />
<br />
Now we have added a much needed critique program for our members. In April we launched sign-ups for online or in-person critique groups and I have been inundated with responses!<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures of recent events.<br />

I love getting notes from people who are reading my books. Lately I've been hearing from those reading <i>Forty Days of Lint</i>. We all have such busy lives, so everyone seems to be in different places throughout the book. It's fun to see how no matter where they're reading, God gives them just what they need that day.<br />
<br />
Today, a reader said:<br />
<span class="_5yl5"><span>"I am relating to Day 14: True Friends, True Healing. So thankful for the believing friends that God has given me. I am blessed. Thank you for your thoughtful writings."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="_5yl5"><span>Day 14 is all about friendship and it hit home for me too. This part especially: </span></span><br />
<span class="_5yl5"><span> </span></span><br />"I thank God for blessing me with friends who carry me to Jesus when I’m too paralyzed to get there myself. I might be tempted to think I only need relief from the painful consequences of my sinful habits or attitudes, when what I really need is heart-cleansing.<br />
<br />
"They prayerfully place me before Jesus and let His Holy Spirit begin healing. As a true friend, I want to do the same for them. Repentance may not look fancy from the outside, but that’s where healing begins, front and center with Jesus."<br /><br />I was on Day 34 today: Hindering Bunnies. It's a constant battle to keep those dust bunnies cleared away!<br /><br />"I have my own list of things that hinder my walk with Christ, and what distracts me from the course He has determined. I must constantly kick free from false guilt, insecurity, perfectionism, inhibitions, and a well-meaning but enabling spirit. I get depleted, discouraged, and sidetracked when I do things for others they should be doing for themselves.<br />
<br />
"These bunnies sometimes have the appearance of holiness, just like dust bunnies can mimic soft and cuddly stuffed bunnies. In reality, however, they are man-made efforts to obtain righteousness, which Isaiah describes as filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). Hindering bunnies prevent us from experiencing God’s power unless we’re willing to keep our hearts clear of them."<br />

I invite you to get a copy of <i>Forty Days of Lint</i> and use it to prepare your heart for Easter. If you're already reading, I would love to hear what God is saying to you through it. <br /><br /> <br />
And don't worry if you can't finish the book before Easter. The readings are applicable any time of year. After all, lint is not seasonal...in our homes or in our hearts. A little house cleaning is always in order.<br />

Tomorrow and Saturday women of all ages will be gathering at Mollala Church of the Nazarene to worship, build friendships, learn about God, and fall in love with Jesus even more. I look forward to hearing Olivia Metcalf's insights and experiences as our special speaker and worshiping under the leadership of Tim Friesen. <br />
<br />
I'm excited to be going to this yearly conference for Christian women. I always come away inspired to pursue Jesus in new, fresh ways. My books will be on sale at a table in the vendor area, so come meet me or say hi and give me a hug. And of course, buy a book or two. Buyers get a FREE Lindor truffle of their choice!<br />
<br />
I'll have my <i>Forty Days of Lint</i> for sale, perfect for this season before Easter, as well as other devotionals, children's books, Christian growth, and Bible studies.<br />
<br />
Hope to see you there.<br />

Facebook after our time together:</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">“I spent the
past 24 hours at the beach on an overnight women's event where I was poured
into and told how I am wanted and loved. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Beth used
beautiful visual storytelling and life examples on how the Lord loves us always
and how we often feel rejection that it is not coming from a place of the Lord.
I am learning through my walk with Christ that I cannot control other’s
opinions of me, what they say about me, and how they treat me. What I can
control is my heart, my perception, and my actions. God loves us all so much and
that we are worthy of his love." </span><br />

I am so encouraged this week by blogs written by two bright young women who recently read my book <i>Taking Back October</i> and wrote to their own readers in response. They have chosen to make some changes in their family celebrations and have some great recommendations.<br />
<br />
It is encouraging to see this generation of Jesus-followers giving thought to what they celebrate and how they parent. They are going deeper than surface beliefs passed down to them and plumbing the depths of their faith. They are asking why they do what they do and teaching their children to be critical thinkers about their faith. <br />
<br />
Here are a couple of quotes from Marissa and Moriah Rice and links to their blogs regarding the question of Halloween and what Christians should do about it.<br />
<br />
"I think it is important to note that the spiritual warfare is not just
for parents! Children are more aware then we think. To share a story of
this year, my sweet sensitive boy who is 3 years old, for the month of
October has been having nightmares when we come in his room to comfort,
pray and check on him, he has communicated the following reasons for his
nightmares: spiders, death in the form of someone eating him, and
ghosts that are trying to carry him away. <strong>SERIOUSLY!</strong> We
have never shown or exposed or talked about these things, he is seeing
them decorated around peoples houses and in the grocery stores. HE IS
THREE!!! Our family is already now due to the display of fear and evil,
addressing spiritual warfare! Positively, it is good because they are
more aware then we think, negatively, sends my momma bear into a frenzy!
So I ask myself: <strong>what is being promoted spiritually when it comes to Halloween? </strong>Again, this is opportunity for self and family evaluation."<br />
<br />
~ Marissa Rice, <a href="https://raisingrices.com/2018/11/02/now-that-halloween-is-over-lets-talk-about-it/?fbclid=IwAR2VqYZTwdrX5grkhpGteHxoxLTWsRd-2VaJJmPRJmFChgYwnDeAU7zWPlg">https://raisingrices.com/2018/11/02/now-that-halloween-is-over-lets-talk-about-it/?fbclid=IwAR2VqYZTwdrX5grkhpGteHxoxLTWsRd-2VaJJmPRJmFChgYwnDeAU7zWPlg</a> <br />
<br />
"So November 1 is now known as All Saints Day while October 31 can be known as All Saints Day Eve. And I think that in the Rice household, it will become a regular holiday! Beth goes into so many great ideas within her book about how to continue to have fun dressing up, eating food (and candy if you wish!) and being with friends while honoring Christians and giving thanks (almost like a pre-Thanksgiving in my mind!)."<br />

What a terrific day! We met Saturday, October 20 at Rolling Hills Community Church. Kathi Lipp was our keynote speaker and we were all inspired and entertained by her presentation. What a motivator she is! I think everyone who went came away with ideas on how to do a better job as a writer, no matter what our level of experience is.<br />
<br />
The next Oregon Christian Writers is on Saturday, February 23 at Chemeketa Community College in Salem, Oregon. If you are interested in learning more about writing, check out the website and sign up!

That's right. This is an unusual year in the way all these major holidays all coincide and overlap. Today is Valentine's Day, but it is also Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of the Lenten season as we prepare our hearts for Easter. And Easter falls on April Fool's Day, which kind of makes you stop and think. In fact, it all works together wonderfully well. I will be saying more about that soon on my other blog: Epiphany--<a href="http://bethvice.blogspot.com/">http://bethvice.blogspot.com/ </a> so check in to see how all those work together in a wonderful anomalous message of love from God.<br />

If you live in the Salem area, you're invited to come to a Beth Vice Book Event at the home of Tara Newman, Monday, February 5 @ 6:30 pm. She will be hosting this gathering in their new lovely home. <b>Please RSVP</b> Tara @ selaphotography@gmail.com to let her know you would like to come, and get directions to her house. <br />
<br />
This will be a relaxed time with some fantastic women who love Jesus and growing in their relationship with Him and other people.<br />
<br />
I will be reading excerpts from my new book, <i>My First Bible Memory Book</i>, as well as <i>Forty Days of Lint</i>, and a few others. I'll have plenty of copies on hand, so come ready to buy books for yourself and as gifts. Lent begins on February 14 this year, so now is the time to buy this Easter devotional and begin preparing your heart for the season of resurrection!<br />
<br />
I am looking forward to a fun evening of visiting, Q &A, yummy snacks, and sharing my work with you!<br />
<br />
Hope to see you there.<br />

My friend, Lynn Hare, from Oregon Christian Writers asked me if I would be willing to contribute to her blog series on Forgiveness and I was happy to do it. Here is the link to my article "Rings of Forgiveness"at her website, : <a href="http://lynnhare.com/blog/rings-of-forgiveness-beth-vice/#comment-100871">http://lynnhare.com/blog/rings-of-forgiveness-beth-vice/#comment-100871</a><br />
<br />
I hope you will read it and share it with others. And also, add Lynn's blog to your list of go-to's for spiritual inspiration and truth.<br />

The more I thought about this assignment, the more I began to feel the power of self-forgiveness, or the lack thereof. I wanted to describe it in a memorable way and prayed some days before I began. God gave me the image of a tree, and the rings of added growth as it matures.<br />
<br />
What I didn't know is what a miracle He would do in my own heart before I finished the piece.<br />

<br />
Unknown to me, a seed of shame was lurking in my spirit that had kept me from forgiving myself. I hadn't realized how much it was dragging me down until God brought it to light in a surprising moment. His continued grace has freed me from the heaviness and self-hatred I felt for so long.<br />
<br />
I praise God for His forgiveness, and that His mercies are new every morning!<br />

I'm so excited to present: <i>My First Bible Memory Book</i>, for kids ages 3-10 or older. There are 31 verses to learn - one for each day of the month.<br />
<br />
Little ones will love the photos of kids throughout the book doing what kids do, and be able to memorize the verse of the day. Older ones will understand the explanations of what each verse means and want to talk about them. Parents and grandparents can adjust how much or how little they cover to fit the understanding and attention span of their audience. <br />
<br />
I can't think of any better gift we can give our kids than the chance to know how much God loves them. This is the perfect way to introduce them to a lifelong love of Jesus and the Bible. They are like sponges, constantly memorizing (so much quicker than adults!) and whatever they learn now will come back to them throughout their lives whenever they need comfort or truth or hope. <br />
<br />
I've been keeping this under wraps until I presented the very first copies to my six grandchildren for Christmas. <i>My First Bible Memory Book</i> is illustrated with pictures of my beloved ones being adorable and full of life. But the fun part is your kids and friends will love them too, because kids love other kids!<br />
<br />
The book is available on Amazon for $15.99, a sweet deal for a full color photo book. This is the perfect birthday, baby shower, or anytime gift for kids or parents.<br />

Are you looking for a great devotional or small group Bible study to get your heart ready for Christmas? <b><i>The Four Gifts of Christmas</i></b> focuses on four of the best gifts you've ever received - Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. You can't find anything to match that under the tree! <br />
<br />
Each
week looks inside the Christmas story from the
viewpoint of the key people in the biblical narrative - Simeon and Anna,
Joseph and Mary, the Shepherds and Angels, and the Wise Men. Of course, a few others make their appearance too. Each day's reading
helps you apply the lessons you learn with humor, personal examples, and modern day living. What Christ's coming teaches us about faith, acceptance,
self-control, giving, holy surprises, and more, as you countdown to
Christmas.<br />
<br />
Order your copy on Amazon for $7.99 in time for Advent this year: Sunday, Dec. 3. <b><i>The Four Gifts of Christmas</i></b> by Beth Vice. This is the perfect gift for a friend or family member, to give them the best Christmas gift of all - Jesus.<br />

might wonder why I picked Prayer Walking as a series topic on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Epiphany</i> this October.</span> The reason
is, there’s a war going on and we need more soldiers. Prayer and prayer walking
is a powerful weapon against Satan and we don’t do nearly enough. Our only two offensive
weapons against evil forces are prayer and the Word of God. And if we combine
the two—oh boy—that’s serious fighting!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Several
years ago I wrote <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Taking Back October</i>,
to help people become aware and to get busy!
Halloween is not just an innocent holiday for kids to dress up and collect
candy. I grew up thinking it was fun and harmless,
until I learned what goes on behind the scenes. There’s a dark side behind the cute
and colorful masks of the season. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The themes
of Halloween are fear, darkness, death, witchcraft and the occult. Jesus came
that we might have courage, walk in the light, experience new life, and worship
and serve only the one true God. I can’t in good conscience celebrate or
promote this holiday; there’s nothing redeemable in it. But there are a lot of
fun things we can be doing to celebrate the beauty of fall and give all glory to God. </span></div>

important to take a stand for what is right and true and good.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Halloween is
the high holy day for Satan worshipers and believe me, they are actively serving
their lord. Behind the laughter and candy, they are praying, offering sacrifices,
practicing ritual abuse, and casting spells. What are we doing to counteract these
efforts? Taking our kids to haunted houses and telling them it’s make believe?
There’s no such thing as “scary fun.”</span></div>

The empty nest years are busy and productive for my husband and I--he in construction, and I with writing. With five kids and six grandchildren, we always have a lot going on and we love life.<br />
<br />
Summer seems to be the busiest of all. I am spread between my indoor work--writing, keeping the household running and helping with the business, and my outdoor work in the yard and garden. I love it all, but it can get a little crazy.<br />

Today was probably the last warm, sunny day we will see for a while and I savored being outside. I picked the last zucchini, beans, beets, raspberries, and peppers, closed down the garden and did some yard work. What a joy to breathe in the scent of fresh cut grass while feasting on fresh produce for lunch. It was even more enjoyable knowing I can soon turn my full attention to indoors and give more time to writing projects. And I have a few!<br />
<br />
Kelly and I teach a Sunday morning small group and we've been studying Revelation. It has been a tremendous and exciting challenge to dig in with hours of study and write these lessons. We love our church family and the fun times we share whether we're at church or elsewhere.<br />

I'm also writing a special 31 day series on Prayer Walking on my blog: Epiphany. Our church has been prayer walking our community and surrounding cities every October for the last three years and it has been an incredible blessing. This year, God impressed me through the book of Joshua to post a blog every day of the month. It has been exciting! I am learning how to walk in faith and in constant communication with God (whining doesn't count).<br />
<br />
There are also a couple books in the works, but nothing in print yet. But stay tuned!<br />
<br />
Just for fun, I thought I'd show you a few glances of my summer in photo form. I hope you've had a delightful summer and are ready to turn to winter pursuits of work, study, and play.<br />

<br />
It has been a while since I let you know what I'm up to. So here's the latest in the life of author Beth Vice - that's me!<br />
<br />
<b>May 3 and 10:</b> Teaching <b>Women's Bible study</b>
in Lincoln City for Pastor Kelli Westmark while she's on vacation. Topic: "He
Knows My Name." Session One - How Do You See Yourself? and Session Two:
How God Sees You, and Claiming Your New Identity.<br />
<br />
<b>May 4, 11, 18, 25:</b> <b>Spark</b>
group begins: a weekly get together to read through the Bible in a
relaxed setting. No agenda, no homework or doctrinal arguing. Just
gathering with friends to see what the Bible says and talk about what it
means and how we can apply it to our lives.<br />
<br />
<b>May 15:</b> Hosting <b>IF Table</b>:
a monthly meeting with six women to share a meal and discuss the four
questions of the month. They focus on how we see ourselves, our
faith, and what is going on in this season. We're having so
much fun we've decided to keep going through the summer!<br />
<br />
<b>What I'm writing: </b>I am continuing my work on a divorce recovery book for women, trying to keep up with my blog, <i>Epiphany</i>,
and working on lessons for our Growth Group. Our upcoming topic is the
book of Revelation. The study for that has been amazing! I am learning
so much. Just praying God will enable me to communicate what He wants us
to learn and discuss.<br />
<br />
<b>And personally:</b> The rest
of the month is sprinkled with all kinds of exciting events - family
parties, birthdays, baby showers, Mother's Day, company coming, and
babysitting my grandsons. Whew! I can hardly keep it all straight.<br />
<br />
I
am so thankful to be done with a recent surgery for basal cell
carcinoma. My face is finally starting to feel like my own again. So
grateful for health and God's daily blessings. Now that I'm feeling better I hope to get in more hiking with my husband and yard work in the sunshine. They promise it's coming soon...<br />
<br />
I hope
you are busy and actively serving the Lord in your corner of the world.
He is worth our love, praise, and all our efforts.<br />
<br />
Have a blessed May!<br />
<br />

We're only on day three of October, but the month is already full! My family made it successfully out the other side of a rather eventful camping and quading trip. Two of our trucks had to be towed home, one elk died on route, a break line went out, one quad headed full force into three feet of water, and one rider bailed from his quad only to be hit full force in the back of the head by it!<br />
<br />
The Lord protected and provided for us numerous times - no one went to the ER, there were no broken bones or concussions and everyone made it home safely (except the elk). We keep shaking our heads over God's gracious care! <br />

I enjoyed a fantastic birthday last week, and October picks up speed, with five more birthdays to celebrate. On Saturday, we all gathered for a 30-3-33 Super Hero party for our daughter, granddaughter, and son-in-law's celebration of threes this month. All the big names were there: Spiderman, Batman, Captain America, Frozone, as well as a Holy Warrior (from Ephesians 6) and Queen Esther. <br />

This has been tons of fun, but there's more to come. I'm celebrating the new edition of <i>Taking Back October</i> that just came out and more opportunities to speak, sell books, and get together with other writers from the Northwest.<br />
<br />
Here's the schedule so far:<br />
<b>Monday, Oct. 3</b> <b>at 6:00</b> (tonight): Speaking for the PEO group in Garibaldi on "Why I Do What I Do."<br />
<b>Friday, Oct. 14</b>: In Salem for an open discussion and presentation on "Halloween and Christianity." We'll be talking about alternative ways to celebrate this season in our families and churches and I'll be reading excerpts from my book <i>Taking Back October</i>. <br />
<b>Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 5:30</b>: Teaching the third lesson of Celebrate Recovery on "Hope" at Tillamook Nazarene Church.<br />
<b>Saturday, Oct. 15</b>: Gathering with other writers for the fall Oregon Christian Writer's Conference at Warner Pacific College in Portland.<br />
<b>Sunday, Oct. 16 at 6:00</b>: Presenting an "Interactive Evening of Prayer" at Tillamook Nazarene Church. This includes music, video, and manipulative objects for a meaningful time of prayer. This is open to any who would like to come praise, worship, and seek God in new, fresh ways.<br />
<b>Saturday, Oct. 22,</b> <b>9:30-3:30</b>: Selling my books and gift mugs at the Salem First Church of the Nazarene's Craft Faire. <br />
<br />
I'm excited about all these opportunities to meet new people, connect with old friends, and hopefully inspire and draw in a few new readers. If you would like to come to any of these events don't hesitate to ask for more information. I'd love to see you there!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My newly updated version of Taking Back October is off to a great start! The Kindle giveaway was a big success. I've been able to reach more readers and I've been hearing good things from a few already.<br /><br />Here are a couple reviews:<br /><br /><i>From one who has been involved in church ministries since youth, this book is a breath of fresh air! Not only was I involved in several Halloween “parties” during my early years, but sometimes involved in the planning. As a young adult I became less & less inclined to this “celebration.” By the time we had four children our interest grew even less, though we would have been unable to tell others why. One year ago our friends loaned me a copy of this book and the light came on. I suddenly realized why we had quit participating in this annual ritual. Halloween is completely incompatible with following Jesus. <br /><br />In a concise manner, Beth gives a scriptural basis for not celebrating Halloween along with its origins and meanings of the basic elements. One of the things that is so refreshing is it is not a “Thou shalt not” approach. Included are many suggestions and resources for a replacement celebration that is wholesome and scriptural. She has produced a good working manual for Christian Heritage celebration, culminating on All Saints Day, November 1st. <br /><br />This is a book I highly recommend for everyone, but especially to Christian families with children still in the home. How wonderful that there is something positive and wholesome to replace one of the enemies schemes to deceive people. This ought to be required reading for every church leader. In addition there should be times of discussion about the change of direction within church programs that involve more than just the leadership.</i> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Roland Ward, adult Sunday school teacher<br /><br /> <i>You have done a masterful work of voicing the warning without shaking your finger to guilt the Christian community. Then you moved naturally (I could almost feel your excitement) into a well-organized plan for alternate celebrations with some why/what/how helps. <br /><br />The tone kept my nose in the book as you opened my eyes to the real evil of Halloween. Great! But most of all, thank you for showing us how to do something about it, both in our homes and in our churches. Like Paul, your advice and desire urge believers to be wise in all their ways. <br /><br />Beth Vice takes a courageous stand by exposing the truth about Halloween in her book, Taking Back October. She shines light on this undiagnosed Christian blindness. Beth writes, “As long as the Church continues to teach that playing around with the supernatural world is fun and harmless, the enemy will use that to derail even the faithful.” <br /><br />Her research details some scary, threatening truths. Don’t put the book down. Please, keep reading. For the souls of our Christian children and youth, discover our power to make a difference and derail Satan’s plans. Beth provides a rich, fun outline of activities to help us in Taking Back October. Halloween is the devil’s party. The children of God must never celebrate wickedness and death in the courts of the Devil then expect to worship our holy God. </i> </span></span><br />

The topic is "Yes," Lesson 24 from the 25 lessons on how to deal with the hurts, habits, and hangups we develop in life.<br />
<br />
What I've realized as I've prepared to teach is that in order to say "Yes" to the good stuff of life, we must first learn how to say "No" to the harmful, distracting, and unproductive. This is essential to being able to accept and share all God has for us.<br />
<br />
If you live in the area, I'd like to invite you to come. It's a wonderful time of worship and growth:<br />
Dinner at 5:30<br />
Teaching at 6:00<br />
Small groups at 7:00 (childcare available from 6-8:00)<br />

<br />
This will be offered Tuesday, July 12 and 19. Same location as above. <br />
