World AIDS Day
Today is Dec. 1, 2008. Two big events take place today.
The anniversary of Rosa Parks taking a stand, by taking a seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955, and World AIDS Day.
Two great movements/issues of our day — the civil rights movement and AIDS awareness/treatment/elimination.
I almost hate to compare the two movements (simply because [...]
St. Peter’s Brewery :: #Nanowrimo comes to an end
Yup, that’s it. My month long challenge of writing a novel has come to an end - a full day early. M$ Word says I finished with a 50,737 word count. Nanowrimo says I finished with an official 50,849 word count and Google Docs says I finished with a 51,716 word count.
I’ll be honest, [...]

I passed the 40,000 word marker tonight. WOOT!
On the downward slope for sure! 40,018 words total (or 80%) and less than 10,000 words left! Only seven days to go! Finish line here we come!
And with another word/mile-marker - I’ll share another brief segment of the book ::
G.T. explained that even after changing [...]
St. Peter’s Brewery :: a sneak peak
I’m at roughly 70% of the way done with my nanowrimo novel. I’m wondering now if I can wrap things up in 15,000 words or not. Maybe it will leave room for a sequel for 2009 :-).
Either way, thought I’d share a passage I’m working on right now. As always, the comments are open so [...]
St. Peter’s Brewery :: 25k words
Don’t worry, this won’t be a 25,000 word post. I now know that would take 58 pages in a word document.
I have crossed the halfway mark for #nanowrimo on Nov 18! WOOT! (25,298 words to be exact as of 10:12 p.m.)
Now in all seriousness, the challenge is to reach 30k by tomorrow night at midnight. [...]

St. Peter’s Brewery aka a #nanowrimo update
Here’s my stats as of right now. I’ve gotten a little bit behind, as you can see I haven’t updated each and every day.
Starting out, I think you need an average of 1,666 words a day to finish all 50,000 words in a month. I think my average for the remaining 20 days is now [...]
Crazy times
I gave in and joined a couple discussion on Facebook over the weekend about faith and politics.
Several folks whom I consider good friends (and still do) made comments that basically said if you vote for any candidate that supports abortion, you need to really question your salvation and faith.
That really bothers me. But I [...]
Friends through adversity
I’m in the midst of reading “If God Disappears” by David Sanford. It’s an interesting read thus far. It hasn’t made it to the top of any of my reading lists yet, but several points he’s made have stood out so far.
As we talk about relationships and our relationship toolboxes, I thought these thoughts lined [...]
re: How M. Scott Peck saved my life
Finished Not the Religious Type last week.
My friends are going to hate hearing the stuff that I too to heart from this book.
Stage 1,2,3,4…
Bounded sets and centered sets…
Living a life where we daily listen to God…
Great stuff!
If you’ve got time today, the author of Not the Religious Type Dave Schmelzer will [...]
