Book Clipboard
The Challenge: Find a��way to put your paperback on the table without the book snapping shut.
The Situation:��The paperback that comes from Amazon is glued at the spine, rightly so, but I need to have it sit on the table so I can read the pages to check for typos and such. I need to be able to write in the margin.
The Options:��So far I have used heavy staplers, weights, giant binder clips, you name it. The Literary Cat even sat on it, to help keep the pages open. I even thought of buying those leather weights from Levenger, or using weights from exercise machine. I think a wrench from the toolbox would also do the trick LOL.
The Problem:��I need to find a less comical way, that doesn't cost too much, to keep the book pages open without tearing up the glued spine. The book needs to be intact, after proofreading.
The Solution:��Ta-da! Praise the Lord for a solution! Total cost: zero. I was looking around my office, searching for ideas (what I do when I'm supposed to be writing LOL) and I remember the art tote board I carried around that has a board, 1-2 clips on one end, and a giant elastic rubber band on the other to hold your paper while you draw/paint. So... using that idea, I simply put together a combination of a clipboard and an elastic bookmark. And voila, 434 pages of book are now flat on the table!

Deadlines
"For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth��� (Job 19:25).
What do you do when you have deadlines left and right? Are they like storms or boulders to you? Obstacles on the road? Or are they milestones?
When I am surrounded by deadlines, the only thing to do is keep my focus on the eye of the storm: Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Redeemer!
Joyfully,

The Most Important Book
I love reading my Bible. I want to read more, study more, know God more. What about you?
These days, with my multiple back-to-back writing deadlines, about all I have on my reading list is the Bible. Time is so precious, and I want to spend it on God���s Word.

When It Rains...
"Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit��� (Leviticus 26:4).
When it rains, it pours. Sometimes it happens. It has been an extremely busy March at Georgia Press, and the month has barely begun.
And then what are done are also causes for rejoicing, right? Praise the Lord!
Is it raining where you are? What are your reasons for rejoicing?
