CHAPTER SIX: Facts by Bill Myers!

This was passed along to me and I thought it was good... Enjoy

Science and Christ's Miracles

I love science. For me it's a way of studying God's creation. Living cells, mind-boggling galaxies, sub-atomic particles, they all leave me in awe over God's creativity. And the more I study, the more astonished I become. But during the last century or two, we've seemed to turn things upside down. Now we're insisting creation is more real than the Creator. It's like saying the books I've dreamed up are ...

CHAPTER SIX: Peeping Tom...

So I have taken up the road, hit the hills, pulled the sword from the stone. The 3rd book in the WJA series is under way and I feel like I have some new life to put into it. I was in a funk on the thing and just couldn't get into it but after going through the re-edits on the first two it has got me into the story again. I hope to have the first draft done by the end of summer and who knows, maybe a fall release of book three!

Getting ready to do what they call i48. This is a contest where you make a video in 48 hrs. I am going to act the the writer and Andrew Garcia will be the video. It should be fun and also make this weekend very long, but it will be good press and exposure for both of us.

I will let you know once it is done...

CHAPTER FIVE: And the things I worry about...

I was sitting in a coffee shop watching a mom count from 6 down to 1 and then back to counting as her 6 year old child did whatever he wanted. She was sitting with a councilor who was going to help her with her child yet the only help she needed was a good spanking. I am not talking about one for her son but for her.

The way6 she spoke to him and how it was all if you do this I will do this, or stop or I will count... oh no not the counting! No wonder our children can only count to 6, that is ...

Here are 10 ways to increase the speed of your manuscript. Keep in mind that the words will be pretty much the same in your story. The only thing ...

CHAPTER FIVE: Rules...

We all have rules and ways of looking at things. Some want to say and do think that their way is the only way and anyone who looks at anything different is wrong and below them.

Some like to take a open mind view and take it all in and not really say anything is any better then anything else. Very non committal... If you like it hot... fine, if you like it cold... great... no big deal.

Some take the middle ground and have a set way of looking at the world and a plan but if something comes alon...
