Here I am at the edge

This could be the day . This could be the day  that I have been putting off for several years, the day I admit to myself that I am not a writer anymore, I did miss one publishing opportunity.

I don't envy my friend My friend, Julia, who lives in Seattle , took on a task so great I shudder to think of the enormity of the job. Over a decade ago, Julia edited what was to become my award -winning ebook "The Chronicles of Mark Johnson ," since then, I have been in a decline, apart from a few months in 2014 when my science fiction s eries got some sales. It is one thing to boost a writer, if they feel down, or have writer's block , but when the writer does not believe in their work the task is almost impossible. I cannot thank Juia enough, for believing in me, when I haven't had the faith since mid-2016.

Devil worship. I was thinking of writing Christian stories, but as I am an excellent writer, I may earn more writing about the work of Satan . What caused the switch of focus? I think I'll start to preach the Gospel of Satan after this news - I read an article last night on the Premier Christianity blog that showed how out of touch I am with religion. A pastor in America gave his wife a Lamborghini for an anniversary gift, and there was I thinking the work is about the word of God. I realize in this age, the vicar on the bicycle image is history, but Lamborghinis as a gift, who says working for the Lord is humbling? The article did raise one question for me - if a man of Christ can make that much, how much can you earn preaching the Gospel of Satan?

Christmas favorites. For various reasons most people have a favorite Christmas carol, mine is Silent Night . The reason I chose this above In the Bleak Midwinter is that my grandfather fought in the trenches during World War 1 and this tune reminds me of the day the fighting stopped.  The book on show is a short story I wrote in honor of the men and women whose lives got altered beyond measure after those four horrible years.

I was witness to a great man of God preaching. Read about the day  Billy Graham came to Bristol  for a day in 1984. Over the years, I have wondered if I missed my calling during my years in the Royal Air Force , would I have been content to be  just a priest , I guess that is one for the what if section.
