Paul R Schmidt

I have been retired for ten years and live in Florida with my beautiful wife of fifty years. Started writing about six years ago primarily to better understand my Christian faith and respond to some significant question people close to me were asking.

Since that time, I am nearing completion on my first book, Logan's Story, and have a ruff draft of a second book, Kathie's Question.

Last year I began a serie of weekly letters to my kids and grandchildren, Fifty-Two Letters, reminiscing on past events in our family's life with a douse gospel in each one. My inspiration came from the Book of Joshua in which he challenge the Israelites to make a choice about God. He said, '... for me and my family, we will follow the Lord.' These letters were my attempt to connect spiritually with my family.

Finally, I write a monthly article for our church's newsletter. I am glad I'm retired, because in my dad's words, 'I'm so busy in retirement, I don't know how I ever found the time to work.
