My ruminations
You have found my little corner of the web. I am a writer, making my living with technical writing and online information systems, but I also write creatively and to facilitate my and others religious journey. You are welcome to explore my online domicile,
to read, and if you desire, comment, either using my
blog site (Beyond The Rim...) or by emailing me.
Our Daily Prayer
Dear Lord, so far today, I am doing all right. I have not
gossiped, lost my temper, been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or
overindulgent. However, I am going to get out of bed in a few
minutes, and I will need a lot more help after that. Amen. (source
unknown)
May God grant you grace and peace
as you go about your day.

My first novel, Beginnings: Book One of the Lawgiver Chronicles
is now available for purchase on Amazon in both print and Kindle.
This link allows you to preview the book.
 The year is
1292 B.C. and Egypt has almost recovered from more than a generation
of turmoil. Begun by the “Pharaoh who is not named,” the nation was
plunged into social and religious chaos by a leader who overthrew
the historic gods of the Two Lands in his desire to follow a single
supreme and all-powerful deity, which he named Aten.
The
powerful priesthood of Amun-Ra blamed and sought destruction of the
Hebrews for corrupting the forgotten pharaoh with their heretical
religious ideas. However, they sought to accomplish their
annihilation in a way that would not destroy the economy of Egypt
since the Two Lands had become dependent on Hebrew labor. By killing
all newborn males, the blight would gradually be removed from the
land within one generation.
Now, during the fourth year of a
fledgling dynasty, a new threat is taken from the waters of the Nile
by the sister of Pharaoh: a Hebrew child who should rightfully be
put death as an offering to Sobek, the crocodile-headed god.
However, the princess is childless and abundant signs and portents
signal the gods have an opinion in the matter.
Let the Saga
begin.

Weblog/Blogging efforts -
For my current and past musings check out my blog,
Beyond
the Rim... For those of you unfamiliar with blogs, they are
basically postings that take the form of a journal, but on the web. Updating a blog is
called "blogging" and the person who writes the blog is called a "blogger."
Most blogs are updated daily. The postings on a blog are generally
arranged in chronological order with the current entries at the top
of the blog's home page. It takes discipline to write a blog and
keep it even reasonably current. That is the reason I am blogging; I
want that kind of discipline.

Loss - "Any loss, especially when deep, opens the heart to
the memory of loss itself. Our greatest loss has always been
eternal, our natural born separation from God. Even becoming a born again
Christian does
not remove the deep memory of that loss." - William Meisheid
