Good morning

Does anyone have any connections for getting a book to a movie? I have two novels that I want to send in for possible movies but I have zero connections in that industry. I just though someone might have experience in this area.

Thanks and have a great day

Special Dream - The Loss of a Child

My deepest condolances go out to John Travolta and Kelly Preston, who lost their 16 year old son, Jett nine months ago. And to all parents who have lost a child. A parent never gets over this loss, as it is the deepest wound a heart can suffer.

Former President Bush and wife Barabara lost their daughter when she was a little girl to cancer and Academy Award Winning Actor, Cliff Robertson lost a grown daughter too. Cancer is a terrible disease, and we all need to fight it, which is… Continue

Poem: The Cross, Stark and Still

Into the depths of untold depravity,

a perfect creation had fallen away;

unimagined grace poured out from our God above -

As His Hand of wrath was firmly stayed.

The Cross, stark and still, standing upon a naked hill...

subtly calls for the World's attention.

Since the dawn of everlasting time,

our Savior awaited His appointed day;

despite humanity's race to certain doom -

His Hand of wrath was intentionally stayed.

The Cross,… Continue

Poem: Today's Great Undead Poets

Today's great undead poets,

awash in the internet sea,

seek to fill the void of sensible emptiness

of our cyberspace world.

Following the heroic tradition of Man,

these daring individuals look to gain acceptance

through the expression of concepts.

Mirroring the virility and vitality of Life,

in defiance of critical naysayers,

the blankness of virtual paper

is scribbled upon with hurt, hope and ideals.

Writing styles and topics,

whether… Continue

Coffee and Me, A Love Story 9.12.09

I became a coffee drinker at the age of 46. From my younger days until the time I discovered the dark steamy goodness of the roasted bean, I had never had even one cup. Over all those years I was offered coffee hundreds of time and somehow I had the ability to just say no – thanks. I told people I just never got into the habit. As a kid at Christmas time, I used to dunk my Mom’s cutout cream cookies into her cup of coffee and loved eating them. I’ll tell you about dunking toast into cocoa… Continue

Poem: And Yet His Hand...

Despite the trials of this earthly world

and the continued foolishness of men,

God wants His Principles completely unfurled -

For He loves His Children, while hating sin.

His anger is not turned away

and yet His Hand is outstretched still.

Our Salvation awaits its appointed day

with the meshing of our spirits to His Will.

As long as we continue to breathe,

there's Hope for us to loving cleave;

He's promised that His Spirit will never… Continue

Poem: For Your Review

Once my earthly journey is complete,

humbly I'll stand before Your judgment seat.

So in advance I faithfully pray to have

a positive ruling for you to mete.

Grace and mercy carried me;

Your covering on my life you should see.

Hopefully You'll remember that I

promoted Your Kingdom for eternity.

Despite flaws and failures absurd,

hidden in my heart is Your Holy Word.

An attitude of lifelong praise I've spoken

based on what I've… Continue
