It’s been a very good day at the work station today. Even though I have yet to finish Chapter 32 of Lady on the Edge today we are 1100 words into it and it is going to be a long chapter. I had to stop and take a break this evening to review the Idaho... Continue Reading →

A friend asked that I explain something I told her about Adam and Eve and the way the whole tree thing went down. She was feeling a bit concerned that most human thinking lays the blame for sin on Eve. She didn’t think this fair, nor do I and that thinking is biblically incorrect. So... Continue Reading →

I spent the morning in Castle Roullon with The Lady on the Edge. No new photos today, but I will do an excerpt later today. I like the progress that I’m making with this one.

I made some good progress on Lady on the Edge today, wrapping up one chapter, writing a new one and getting a start on a third. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 1700 words, good but not good enough for NaNoWriMo…National Novel Writing Month in November. To successfully complete that challenge I have to do 2000...

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…” Some would have us to believe that because this truth was not in full operation at the time of this declaration was writing, that it is somehow invalid or tainted. Nothing can be further from the truth. That is akin to saying... Continue Reading →
No Girls Allowed # 10
Men are dogs. I was sitting at home one evening when a commotion outside caused me to bolt from my chair and rush outside. My dog was barking and snarling with malice I had never heard before. I saw three young boys poking at him through the fence with sharp sticks. They had poor Archie... Continue Reading →

“Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, which built his house on a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the wind blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded on a rock. And every... Continue Reading →
