New Directions
A few years ago, I added voiceover recordings to writing skills and learned how to use Garage Band, a program on MAC computers. I thought that was difficult to master, but now I’ve learned how to research radios, Christian Artists, and Podcasts and add that data to a Google Docs database. Learning and growing new skills are components to an interesting life! Wonder what will be next?

Dominick’s is Back!!
In case you live in Oviedo, FL, and haven’t checked out the reopening of the Dominick’s Restaurant in Tuskawilla, you’d better get the gears in motion because you’re missing out! From the beautiful new facility, the excellent entrees and the china & silverware, all is beautiful and tasteful! I really have no complaints; Dominick’s rivals the best restaurants on Park Ave. in Winter Park! Really first class!
Dealing With Writer’s Block II
If you’ve forgotten the first steps in dealing with writer’s block, please go back to my blog, “Writer’s Block.” Now that you’ve determined the strengths and weaknesses of your Villain, Hero, and Victim, you should web brainstorm interactions between these characters. Draw a large circle, about 1 inch in diameter in the center of your paper. Place the main theme of your story in the center circle. Themes vary, such as: crime, poverty, murder, gangs, injustice, and tons more. Next, draw about 5 other 1″ centimeter circles around the central circle. Place the names of your villain, victim, and hero in 3 of them and leave the other 2 blank for the names of 2 main, but subordinate characters, as they arise during your brainstorming. Now you see, you have three main characters in your outer circles and your theme in the center. Connect these outer circles to your central »

Cooking Healthy Food
Healthy food is being perfected in my kitchen, so here are a few photos of current items. Most of these are prepared with olive oil or coconut cooking spray, garlic, onions, scallions, portobello mushrooms, oregano, Italian seasoning, basil, cumin, and parsley. Leave out the salt, but pepper is OK. In some items, you can see that asparagus or zucchini vegetables have been added. If marinades or sauces are desired, only those with no sugar or sodium will maintain the healthiness of the food item. This salad uses only no sugar or salt dressing.
Billy Graham – A Man to Remember
Try to imagine the scene in heaven – rejoicing and shouts of exclamations as a faithful servant runs to the arms of his loving God! What to say after picturing this scene? We pray that in his death, even more souls will be won to Jesus Christ than in his lifetime. Hallelujah! Well done, Billy Graham, with a race well run!! Mercy Me’s inimitable song, “I Can Only Imagine” so aptly applies here!
