Throwing my hat over the fence

The same guy who 'commisioned' me to write some short stories was still looking for a few more. He had a 100 page piece that he was getting ready to throw out. So far I've sent him five stories - and then this week I commited to a 2000 - 3000 word piece! I have the idea and a rough outline - but that's it. I am also questioning my point of view but I am going to push it forward and see what plays out. I'd like to thank 'WMD' for being an inspiration - and to 'AP' for her tireless willingness to read my drivel and help me make corrections. It's insane here at work again today. We had a major 'incident' here at work yesterday and there is still residuals today. That, along with us gearing up for a major conversion coming up (a nine to twelve month project) is just consuming a lot of time. I will be going to my fifth meeting today in a few minutes. Updates: None Verse for today: Proverb 24 : 30-34, ESV I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense, and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns; the ground was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down. Then I saw and considered it; I looked and received instruction. A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.

wow... I am an inspiration to you? Thank you for such a high honor, Samurai. It is usually I who is inspired when visiting your blog. You write so well, and you are so knowledgable about the Bible. I look foward to the different verses you post, it usually has me going to that passage an reading even more than what you post.

Good luck at work. I have also been working hard as of late. This time of year is so hectic and crazy. Just remember to pause a minute each day and reflect on the things that are precious. We seem to take them for granted or forget them all together when we are so busy.
