Nate is on the Air!

I would like to thank Good Shepard Catholic Radio for featuring Finding Hope on Vegas during their fundraiser event. Sports enthusiast and host, Frank Pomarico, and Nathan discussed various aspects of bull riding as a sport, the accident, and Nate’s incredible recovery.

A big shout out to Cherie Sanderson from the Boulder Junction Library for hosting Finding Hope on Vegas. I am very thankful for the opportunity to speak about this miraculous story to such wonderful community! If your local stop by and say ‘Hi!’

If you have never been to Boulder Junction, Wisconsin, I encourage you to visit. There are so many friendly people in this quaint town. Craig and Jane, owners of peeplelures, always make a visitor feel at home while Denny and Ellen from the McCann’s Wine Bar provide the best atmosphere for the weary traveler.  There are so many talented artists in the area who are more than happy to share their craft with visitors. I highly recommend a visit, you won’t be disappointed!

 

Nate’s Advice

 

 

The Boy Scout Law is good advice for everyone.
Nate and Curtis after Vespers Service.

    Nate gave a great witness talk last night at Camp Rotary’s Summer Camp Vespers Service. Troops that were camping from all over the state came together for the weekly program. Chaplin Curtis discussed faith and how God puts the Super into the Natural.  After setting the stage with a very thoughful introduction, Curtis then asked Nate to speak.  Although he was a little nervous at first, Nate did a beautiful job encouraging the boys to live by the Boy Scout Law, learn from other people’s mistakes, spend quality time with family, and keep God the number one priority because life is short and not many people are blessed with a second chance.  I could not have been more proud…Great job Nate!!

Thanks BCLS!

I had a lovely afternoon on Friday, May 18, 2018.  BCLS invited Finding Hope on Vegas to their Booked For Lunch event.

There was a nice turnout and some great discussion about God and miracles after the presentation.  Because many people lingered to talk, the cleaning crew patiently waited for me to finish the book signing.  They simply smiled and said ‘No hurries.’ What a great crew!

As a bonus, some family and friends I do not get to see very often came.

Thanks to the Booked for Lunch Staff at Alice and Jack Wirt Public Library for a wonderful day!

Third Time is a Charm

FINDING HOPE ON VEGAS POSTER 4

I couldn’t put the book down. I love how this mom tells her story of the accident and all the miracles & medicine that followed that kept her son alive. You will never doubt the power of prayer after reading this book. Have a tissue ready when you read it because you actually feeling like you are right there with her every step of the way.

A big shout out to Judy McKenna, Director of Nursing Education, for inviting me to come and speak with the Nursing students at Alma College.  Finding Hope on Vegas was a required read last fall for many students in the Alma Nursing program.  I can not wait to hear the students’ perspectives on the book and answer their questions.  Wish me luck!
