From my novel reading I've found one of the most difficult tasks to accomplish is to take the stereotype out of the evil character. More than anyone else, the antagonist is portrayed similarly in so many novels. It's understandable. Although evil appears in many forms, sociopaths and psychopaths definitely contain comparable personality…

       If you could ask any professional in the publishing industry a question (or two) who would you ask and what would you ask?   Father, so many questions. And you have all the answers. Some we will most likely never know the answers to – no doubt for our own good. Thank…

  As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.

       Professional football is taking some critical hits. No, not helmet-to-helmet. On a "defenseless" receiver. Or brushing against the facemask of a quarterback. They're coming directly from the political arena, and of course it's the leftwing branch of government who wants to continue to make the sport "safer" and provide more "guilt-free" viewing…

        I can tell you from the volume of reading I do in hard or soft copy there are many more typos in recent years than there ever used to be in books of old. I've heard all the excuses for the mistakes. They range from claims of understaffing to the astonishment at…

  Consider the blameless, observe the upright; there is a future for the man of peace. But all sinners will be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.   The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their stronghold in time of trouble. The Lord helps them and delivers…

  Okay, I'm all for parents stepping up to the challenge of regulating this sexually-charged environment in the world today. It's a tough go for conscientious parents trying to maintain their children's innocence for as long as possible. In fact, it's nearly impossible.
