Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

  •                                           Sometimes there's nothing left to say. The world's gone mad. God still reigns. Mankind needs a reckoning. And Jesus is Lord. Amen.

  •                               Yesterday I mentioned sexual addictions. Like any addiction, sexual addiction causes severe damage to those engaged in its ever expanding practices and demands and to those who are the collateral victims. I wrote a novel about this topic (Wounds . . . and Healings), without getting into graphic perversions of sexual activities, to demonstrate the…

  •   There are so many kinds of darkness in this fallen world. Many of them turn into personal addictions as unsuspecting individuals find themselves enthralled with a certain sin. When people consider addictions, they usually think of drugs and alcohol, but it's becoming more and more common to find tales of those who are addicted…

  •                       When a little boy is discovered dead in the woods by his neighbor Ben Crawford (Ryan Phillippe), Ben becomes the main person of interest for his murder. Detective Andrea Cornell (Juliette Lewis) leading the investigation provides constant pressure on Ben as she combs the neighborhood for clues – seemingly to prove Ben is the murderer. However,…

  •   A lying tongue hates those it hurts,    and a flattering mouth works ruin.   Proverbs 26:28 (NIV)

  •                         The latest springboard in the CSI series collection is CSI Cyber. A poignant effort for this era of Black Hat hackers and major computing invasions and identity thefts, this new attempt to present relevant television spares no geek-speak while alerting the general viewership of exactly what's being done in cyber-land, both good and evil. As…

  •                       If you have a Kindle, here's the new price and page for The Famous One: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/105-1032026-3182020?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=Nicole+Petrino-Salter&x=18&y=18    Again, thank you, Lord, for everything. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

  •    Perception has been cancelled after three seasons. Eric McCormack plays a brilliant schizophrenic professor and neuropsychiatrist (Dr. Daniel Pierce) who fights through his illusions to assist FBI Special Agent Kate Moretti (Rachael Leigh Cook) investigate homicides. Dr. Pierce's hallucinations frustrate him but also end up expressing situations in their argumentative dialogue with him which lead to "perceptions" of the suspects…

  •   I'm a huge fan of Tom Selleck, and I've enjoyed his latest series Blue Bloods. A family of cops, two New York Police Commissioners in the retired grandfather and father (Frank Reagan, played by Tom Selleck), one son (and brother) has died in the line of duty and Tom Selleck's wife has passed away when the series begins. But…

  • Covert Affairs was not renewed. Strong female characters and meaningful interesting male characters, I believe it was the placing of this series that eventually killed it. It's hard to identify the exact moments when these series might've slipped into viewer inconsistency because they're split into short seasons and their return timing is often unpredictable and…
