Matt's Last Call: Surviving Our Protectors

It has been brought to my attention that some bookstores do not have my book. They are told Matt's Last Call is out of stock, order and they will ship it when available. I have contacted Tate Publishing but they say it is the distributors issue.

My suggestion would be to either contact me personally, I will always have books available OR go to my website: http://mattcutshort.tateauthor.com and order it from there. Those are your best bets.
What a blessing book has been and I thank God for giving me this opportunity to share Matt's Last Call with everyone. I am hoping to save MANY lives.

Praise the Lord

Yesterday was a great day. Through all my research and following through with those who allowed me to use their name and business in my resource directory I met a great man, John Marx director of Cops Alive. He asked me to do a telephone interview for the copsalive podcast. It took place yesterday and the Lord helped me tell my story about Matt's Last Call. I felt it went well but of course remembered things I should have said after the fact. My goal is to save a life but talking with John we decided it should be, "I am out to save lives!"

It is hard to believe that after 7 years, 5 months and 15 days I have not only written a book but I am speaking all over our valley and now onto podcasts that go all over the United States. I thank God that He lead me in this direction and that so many people have reached out to me for help. Praise the Lord!

Darkness Closes In

Darkness Closes In as three more suicides take place this past week. Two male ages 23 and 25 and 1 female age 19.That makes 25 since January of 2012. The students at our high school are concerned, not knowing where to turn or what to do. Recently, a group of kids headed to the Interact Club advisor's classroom and sat sobbing while the President and Vice-President of that club sat behind him for comfort. A sister, whose brother took his life a short month or so ago, joined the group in tears. The advisor is an awesome man who has been dealing with several suicides of former students.

As I sit and chat with the different Law Enforcement officials we try to come up with the why, and what can we do. I believe that the most important thing we can and must do is get these kids into church youth groups or Young Life. Satan is doing an incredible job of destroying lives so we must turn to God. "In Him there is no darkness at all . . . if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin."
( I John 1:5-6) All I know is God has kept me standing through the death of my son. I can always reach out to HIM! HE is always with me and will never let me down. All I have to do is ask.
