Closing Book One

My co-writer and I are at 83,000+ words. Trying to close it soon and promise it to be a blockbuster! Look out Lewis, Tolkien and Rawlings; here comes Baxter and Prunier!

Changing of the Guard

Yesterday was election day and there were many upsets at the polls. Incumbent Democrat Mayor Bart Peterson was voted out of office and a new inexperienced servant has come forth. Even in the City Council, there is a higher Republican presence. My only concern is that my election constituents not drop the ball like they did after the huge victory in 2004 where our elected officials turned their backs on us. I do not know how it was in other districts around the country, but I pray for an awakening to fix this nightmare.

Truly Experiencing God`s Love

I spent this last weekend at a Christian retreat called the "Great Banquet". It has many other names like

Emmaus Cursillo Chrysalis Happening Tres Dias Journey Teens Encounter Christ

Methodist Cursillo Via de Cristo Awakening Kairos Koinonia Epiphany

All I will say about it is that it is a 72-hour love fest. You get to see what the first church was like. It is not about color or denomination. It is about loving one another at a level most Christ-like. If anyone ever invites you, don't turn it down. For more information, see lampstand.org.
