So, now that I have renewed my upgraded membership for the year it is time to set new goals! I am looking to break into inspirational writing given my new pursuits as a Pastor/Church Planter. I am looking to get into writing Christian Fiction. I am also looking forward to uploading some of my sermons to a blog item. Let me know what you think of these. I would also love to hear about any groups of Christians on the site. You can e-mail me and I think that would be mostly better than responding here on the news feed. Anyway I guess what I intend to say is:
Sermons, prayer, and worship work well together. "disABILITY WRITERS GROUP" isn't totally and devoted to Christian activities, however there are Christians in this family group.
Safe travels and many blessings.
I had a great idea for a sermon last night on my way to church for Wednesday Bible study and gave me a great idea, I just wish I could remember what it was! LESSON LEARNED: Get it down in writing somewhere when it strikes. That's what all these smart phones and not taking programs are for! Just sayin' . . .
Here is a good story you can share in your Bible story. A boy asked his father if he could help pay for his college expenses. The father agreed to do so on the condition he reads the Bible. The boy agrees. Weeks pass and the boy goes to his father and declares that he had read the Bible and only needs his father to sign the check as agreed. The father sadly shook his head and stated, "You did not read the Bible as agreed; at least not all the way through."
The boy was stunned and asked his father how he knew this. The father smiled and replied, "I placed the check in the last page of the Bible. Had you read it, you would have found it."
As my time has been limited I have not had the time and energy required to run the "The Steampunk Authors' Guild " [E] in a way as is fitting such a fine group of people. To that end we will be transitioning leadership over the next several weeks to CeruleanSon. I have asked the Guild Members who would like to step up into leadership to assist CeruleanSon. I will add members who respond to my group email with COUNT ME IN in all caps to a new group "Steampunk Authors' Guild -- LEADERSHIP" [E].
I am not leaving "The Steampunk Authors' Guild " [E] or WdC at any time in the foreseeable future. My interests are just moving in a new and different direction.
Tonight marks a return for me. The return of tYpO! I just have to get back to my clowny self for a while! We all have so much "stuff" in our lives, we need to take it all a little less seriously! God bless you each, one and all!
My absence from the site has been due to a number of complicating factors: The death of a dear friend and the death of a beloved family pet are at the top of the list. Also I have been "called" to a new adventure: I have answered a calling to the ministry and will be starting a new church in our local area. This further complicated things because our dear friend who passed was our pastor's daughter so I had to fill in for him while he was gone for several weeks. I am now working on becoming licensed and ordained and all the sundry paperwork involved in starting the new church. Our church is "Silver Lake Family Fellowship." If you are a praying person your prayer support is much appreciated! In the meantime I will try to do a better job of checking in moving forward! C-U-Around!
I just wanted to let everyone know that I have been unavoidably absent from the site. I have had a bout of personal illness (severe bronchitis) and also dealing with my mother-in-law's illness has necessitated her being placed in a skilled nursing facility for rehab. Looks like she may be there for several weeks. I hope to be back soon and get things rolling in my various activities again. I sincerely hope my absence has not caused any problems for anyone, if it has let me know and I will find a way to make it up to you!
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! I hope you are all keeping warm. Most of the state of Arizona got snow last night including Phoenix! Uhh-hhmmmpphh, now down to business.
Greetings! I have a very brief very easy survey. Please respond to me by e-mail tYpO/T.Boilerman. If you would like to see a Christmas round of "Invalid Item" or "StAG Firebox - Closed for judging!" [13+]? Please put in your response either DRAGON'S KEEP or FIREBOX in the subject line. I am also playing around with some other ideas.
I was not able to see the dragon's keep, but I'm sure it will be fine. :) Now that Nano is over, I might even enter a contest! *catch me, I might faint*. LOL
So very proud of you. My entire mens side have all served in the Navy. My Uncle retired from it. My nephew is a Linguist in it now. Wow! How proud can yo be......
I wanted to share some personal news. I am retiring my DAY JOB. As of November 14, 2014 I will be retired! Guess what? I will be pursuing my writing in a very serious way!
Welcome to the fold. Retirement means you still have to work, but you don't get a salary any more. You also get to choose when you start and when you stop. Enjoy it my friend, you have earned it.
Greetings kind authors and members of WdC! "The Steampunk Authors' Guild " [E] is pleased to announce the October 2014 iteration of "StAG Firebox - Closed for judging!" [13+] is open for submissions! Please be sure to review the rules and the prompt carefully. All stories submitted must be written in the Steampunk genre. Thank you for your kind attention to this note.
Read the story in Published Order, that's my advice, especially for the 22 novels of the Redwall series. Brian Jacques had a habit of jumping back in time on occasion, going from the "Present" all the way into the "Past", sometimes framing the main story as a story being told to young ones in the "Future".
That being said, if the trilogy is put into an Omnibus book, or whatever, you'd best read it as is, even if it isn't in the "correct" order.
I always read the prequels. The only times I don't read them first is if I didn't know they existed like when I read the LOTR then The Hobbit and The Silmarrilion.
What a weekend! We left Friday morning and went to Albuquerque, New Mexico to an Alabama concert, all i can say is WOW! No wonder they have been around so long, their music just never gets old! The next morning we got up early and went to Fort Worth, Texas. Such a long drive! We were going to a concert at BillyBob's Texas, the world's largest honky tonk. Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding of the information on their website so we did not get to see that concert. Sunday morning we traveled to Roswell, New Mexico to see our kids, grandkids, and great-grandkid. Our great-grand is a brand new baby, she was so sweet! Well we are back home now! What a great trip! What a great country we have! There is so much beauty everywhere!
I had problems with Billy Bob's back in March. We did finally get it straightened out but it was a huge hassle!
Glad you enjoyed the rest of your trip!
Alabama is awesome!
Roswell--ROSWELL! OMG, the X-Files is permeating my brain right now. "This is not happening!"
Now, are your kids and grand/great-grand's affected by the mysterious goings on in the area? Did you stop by that famous diner? Inquiring minds want to know.
I love this! I hope your vacation was great! It sounds like you had a wonderful time in your travels.
What a nice trip. Long but nice. See any aliens at Roswell? Nothing like seeing the grands. Nothing like them. We missed you and glad your back so lets see some stories of your trip.

Perhaps the first paragraph or so, and then a "read more" link either to the hidden text or to the rest of the actual entry in your blog.
Safe travels and many blessings.
