After my post on Evangelists this week, I got an email from a friend who brought up some points about it that made me think I might have not been as clear as I wanted to be originally, so I wrote the following e-mail back to her. Just thought I would also post that here…
I Want To Be God
After some harsh words spoken in anger to my son last night, and the regret I was feeling afterwards, and the thoughts that whirled through my head on how to fix it, I realized what my ultimate goal in life is. I want to be God. I want to always respond in kindness and with…
24-Hour News
I was listening to the Sean Hannity show tonight as I cleaned the kitchen after a big ol’ party at the Campbell home, and I thought something he said was interesting.

I found an interesting opportunity for you author types out there. Still checking into it, so don’t take my word completely on the quality of their product yet but… This place allows you to publish on demand, like my current publisher, BUT… it’s a bunch more.
