Poem: For Just One Day

For just one day, I'd like to see a tour of God's throne room and His glassy sea. Or perhaps to take a leisurely stroll among heavenly streets made from purest gold. Maybe I'd glimpse the pearly gates, to find out who is really standing in wait. Another option would be to find the stately mansion that's eventually mine. But seeing the Savior from afar and observing the glory of the Morning Star, would focus my attention solely on Him and stir my spirit to sing eternal hymns. For just one day, I'… Continue

Two-Fer! Free Online Conference and Sample Media Release

Usually I adjust media releases for blogs so that they look more like articles or personal letters and that's really what they were intended for. Many bloggers and newsletter and Web editors just print them as-is--either because they don't know they can--even should--change them or because it is more work to do so. The other thing about media releases is that people often forget they can slant (should!) them toward current events. Thus, this is a two-for-one blog post for InkedIn-ers. (-: Hope y… Continue

My Weekend with Two Poets

Those of us––whether writers, editors, or production personnel––who long ago cast our professional lot with the publishing industry, know that it can be as volatile and unpredictable as any other. Unless you are sitting on a stack of raving reviews for a bestseller (or at least a moderate seller) on its way to a tenth printing and adaptation to a major film, the crucial motivation to stick to one’s literary guns can sometimes simply vanish and leave you floundering for reasons and means to carry… Continue
