Half the Way

Actually more than half the way is the setting of goals, finding the obstacles, making the plan, and the part that must be done, is the action.

The 1/9/90 Rule

Since writing a Forum on Book Marketing Network, I’ve noticed a change in the old 80/20 Rule (Pareto’s Law). Pareto’s Law, written by an Italian economist, states that 20% of a population generates 80% of (fill in the blank). For example, 20% of the US population pays 80% of the income taxes or 20% of the world population consumes 80% of the world’s resources.

It appears the new paradigm created by the rise of the Internet (and confirmed by my observations with my Forum) is 1/9/90.… Continue

Poem: My Proverbs 31 Wife

My earthly desire is to have...

a woman comprised of softness,

both in flesh and soul.

Her presence offsets the hardness

of everyday living that bluntly smacks me.

To be with a spirit, overflowing with joy,

greeting me daily with unexpected sweetness,

soothes all internal bruises from

the day's accumulation of subtle brutality.

Rubies belie her value to me;

her natural radiance permeates my core,

allowing me to experience… Continue

Poem: Spiritual Irony

Foolishness of Jehovah

exceeds the wisdom of Mankind;

torture by crucifixion

was to serve as a deterrent

to stop all forms of crime.

Inhumane treatment

demonstrates insatiable blood thirst

in a vain attempt to bring out

the best character of man

by placing World's justice system first.

However, death of the Innocent Lamb,

a perfect sacrifice God did decree

to bridge the gap of sin

using Man's worst punishment

in a… Continue
