Review No. 1!

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

My Thoughts

As an avid internet surfer I can relate with a lot of stuff in this work, it was well written and well thought out.The internet can be cruel as well as kind, we are all now taking it all for granted as it’s becoming part of everyone’s life.

Blogs are extensions of the website front page and chatroom dialogue, This comes together excellent and anyone who surfs the big wide web will relate to this. Good piece of work, well worth reading.

Contest in the Hizzouse!

Alright people,

Since I’ve now joined the ranks of authorship, I have to do what authors do.

Why Don’t I Just Shoot Myself in the Foot?

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

Okay, I owe the judges of the Lulu Blooker Prize an apology. In my last post, I called them all 45 plus and one of them is five years younger than I am. Not only that, I also inferred that they were less than hip and happening folk.

In my dumb defense, I was so excited about the competition that I didn’t have time to read their bios, I just looked at their pics and made a judgment across the board. Ironic isn’t it? I just committed an act against another that I’ve been fighting against all my life–that people look at me and just see an African American female and because of that, make sweeping judgments.

Father Knows Best

Friday, January 20th, 2006

This cover to the left, is the cover that I wanted to use for AIJAN, but at the last minute we realized that no one had gotten copyright clearance … Arghhhhh. So the cover the the right was used.

You see this image is a composition of the following two images, plus a bit extra drawing. Although the image was so pixilated that Deborah had to practically redraw the entire thing, credit still needed to be attributed where due.

Clarification

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

Good Morning Folks,

Since I’ve been asked this question repeatedly (and this is in no way a complaint!) let me clarify.

Although not officially released, the blook is available for sale. Just be aware that there’s no ISBN and a few typos which I’ve caught, which will be corrected at the application of the ISBN in the next month.

Happy Martin Luther King Day!

Monday, January 16th, 2006

On this day I encourage you to read and reflect on a speech written five months before I was born. It is a celebration of a milestone in a battle, but signals that the battle is not yet done … we’ve made some progress since then, but when the baton was passed on to our generation … what more have we done?

Our God Is Marching On!

Lulu Blooker Prize Update

Friday, January 13th, 2006

Hi Folks,

Sorry I’ve been absent lately. I’ve been working tooth and nail on coverting one of my blogs into a book or “blook” as it has been coined, for the Lulu Blooker Prize Contest.

The deadline is January 30th. It wasn’t as simple as I thought it would be. First I had to cut and paste the entire blog into word, then reverse the date order to earliest to most recent, then decide which posts would stay, which would go, which comments would stay or go.

Unlocking the Power

Thursday, January 5th, 2006

It’s been awhile since I gave you guys a post from one of my contributors. But first, let me ask you some questions:

  • Did you find that 2005 didn’t quite go as you’d planned?
  • or

  • Did you find at times that your resolutions lacked the power needed?

If so, maybe you weren’t operating from your power center? This morning’s contributor, Christopher Donaldson, Sr., talks to us about “Unlocking the Power!”

    “I in them and You in Me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me.” ~ John 17:23

    There have been certain breakthroughs in the world that have changed the course of history: electricity, the automobile, the atom, and the telephone, to name just a few. If we never recognized the applications of these inventions, we would still be sitting around in the dark, riding horses, and communicating by pony express. However, we have seen the opportunities and the applications, so the world is a different place now.

    Jesus made a profound statement that has the potential to change the world if we simply apply the truth. What if I told you that this one truth would allow people to see Jesus and respond to the gospel like nothing we have ever experienced? It is the key to unlocking the door of salvation to so many that remain lost. Yet it is the one thing we, as His children, fail at the most.
