Blueberry Candles and Cactus Plants

This book offers folks a look into everyday life from the perspective of the author. Anecdotes from some of the sometimes funny experiences Job relates will bring laughter to your heart and joy to your soul. Other stories describe the pain of struggle we all go through from time to time.

The offerings included come from a weekly column Job has written for the North Platte Telegraph newspaper over the past fifteen years. Like life, each column reflects the ups and downs of everyday life and Job’s navigation of various incidents, both funny and serious.

Many are personal in nature, but the intent is to share joy, love, laughter, and sometimes tears that people experience themselves. Other offerings are stories of the history of Job’s family that immigrated to the United States in the late 1700s.

Although faith is a foundational aspect of his life, the stories are written in a nonintrusive manner so as to stimulate your thought process through your own experiences.
