Laura Bichler Hern
I am a mother of two adult children who loves the Lord and tries to do His will in my life each day. My passions are for all genres of music, writing, travel and people. I have B. A. in Non-profit Management and Education and am currently a licensed Insurance Agent for the state of Minnesota. Throughout my career, I have worked as Children’s Ministry Director, instrumental band teacher for elementary and high school students, and as a church organist and choir director. I have been blessed to travel throughout the United States, Europe, Singapore, and enjoys learning the history and traditions of different cultures of people.
People tell me I am outstanding motivator and I do enjoy public speaking. Indie writers are awesome! My stories have humor, real life experiences and I try to touch the soul of the reader and pull them into the story as if they were actually present. Blessings to you all.

"I'm not sure what's going on with me," he said, "but for the past couple of weeks I haven't felt right." He went on to say he hadn't been sleeping well and attributed his tiredness to that. Even though he had lost over twenty pounds, he still, at times, felt out of breath.
Within two weeks, he had collapsed at home, lips and face blue from lack of oxygen.
"Oh my God, David!" I yelled as I leaned over him. He could hear me, but could not speak. "Stay with me, Dave, stay with me!" I cried as I frantically found the phone and dialed 911. The second someone answered, I screamed into the phone, "Help him! My husband has a lung disease and has passed out. Get an ambulance here now and bring oxygen--he needs oxygen!!" I prayed, "Dear God, please get the paramedics here soon."
Mayo Clinic doctors said they couldn't help him. "Perhaps you should call your family in. He is in the end-stage of Pulmonary Fibrosis and he will not live long enough to get a transplant," I heard the doctor say. I thought, "No! Dear God, no! I love him! He is my rock! Please, dear Lord, don't take him yet."
Desperately we called UCSF, our last hope. "We will find a lung for him," Dr. Hoopes told us. "Get him here as soon as possible."
This is the story of David, a faith-filled Christian man in his mid forties, and his two-year battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis. He suffered through two lung transplants and complete financial loss, yet his faith in Jesus Christ never wavered.
