Update On Discovering The God Imagination
So I’m this ” ” close to pulling the trigger on releasing my book. I had a last minute change, as if that wasn’t going to happen, in getting my LCCN number, which required me to update my files.

Sudden Death Syndrome
There are no words that can accurately describe the loss of a child. Today at around 1:30 PM I got a email from a friend that said my friend’s son had been hit by a car and was being lifeflighted to the hospital. He didn’t make it.
