God's Man | National Novel Writers Month...




Once again I am taking part in the most exciting and nerve racking competition ever devised NaNoWriMo.  This stands for the National Novel Writing Month Challenge that is organized by the Offices of Letters and Light.  Over the next 30 days I will, once again, attempt to write a 50,000 word novel.  I will also be consuming lots of coffee, Go Kureig, and miss lots of sleep.  This will be the 6th year that I participate and I am looking forward to it.  Last year was the first year that I have ever made it over the finish line, novel in hand.  The title of my novel was The FaithWalker and it was one of the most unpublisheable (sic) pieces I have ever read but I loved ever bit of it. 

This year, like the others, I am asking for donations towards the Offices of Letter's and Light and their Young Writers Program.  This program does creative writing projects encouraging kids and adults in classrooms, communities, and libraries around the world.  I would be grateful if you would join me in supporting this worthwhile group.

Here is the letter that I have sent to my friends below.  Happy Noveling

Hey Friends,
 
This November, once again, the nonprofit Office of Letters and Light will be bringing together the mightiest of novelists for an event that will define our generation forever. I'm speaking, of course, of National Novel Writing Month. It's a global writing challenge for which I'll spend November (and portions of my sanity!) writing a 50,000-word book in just 30 days.  Last year, after 4 years of trying, I completed a novel in 30 days.
 
In addition to my writerly duties, I'm raising money to help the Office of Letters and Light continue to put on free creative writing programs for kids and adults in classrooms, communities, and libraries around the world.  It was amazing to complete "Faith Walker" but even more impressive was knowing that the money I raised would be used to help encourage creative writing .
 
Every dollar I raise will keep my spirits high as I write my way towards the realization of my creative dreams. More importantly, your contribution will help National Novel Writing Month and its Young Writers Program build a more engaged and inspiring world.
 
Thank you so much for your support of my writing and feel free to forward this to anyone that you know that loves writing!
 
Your friend,
 
God's Man

God's Man | Her Race Is Over - Conclusion

Irene Butler Hebron January 5, 1927 - February 23, 2012 We discussed how not only is God everywhere but he is with us in the moment.  Now to look at how this works itself out in our life.  Let's take a look at this exchange between Jesus and his disciples. 1 John 13:31-38 When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.  “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”  Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”  Peter

Venus and Jupiter, two of the brightest naked-eye planets, join a thin crescent moon to create a brief "happy face" in the sky as seen in Xi'an, Northwest China's Shaanxi Province, December 1, 2008. Astronomers and star gazers across the world are keeping watch on Monday night for the rare astronomical phenomenon known as "Planetary Conjunction".
