The Sun Stood Still
Did the sun ever stand still? The only day I know that the sun stands still is that fateful day in fall when we all fall back an hour. Where I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, it doesn’t help much. The sun sets by 4:30 pm here in Pacific Standard Time. Geographically I think we should be in Mountain Time, but putting us in the same time zone as California allows millions of Californians to come here and gamble on their schedule. Where is God when the government makes stupid choices? I think I know where God is. He is looking down at us and laughing.
“He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.” Psalm 2:4
Of course, governments have done a lot worse things than create poorly drawn time zones. I can hear God now saying, “You Las Vegans want all…

Marie Lavenders “A Year of Guest Authors”
Marie Lavenders “A Year of Guest Authors”
check out Marie’s super-post with a year of her Guest Authors, it is an impressive collection.
Questions for the author
What am I working on?
I am interested in a variety of projects. I assist a community of authors through group blogs at MARSocial Author Business Enhancement Blogs and am writing a fictional history/inspirational novel “Jungle Heat”. I find these projects challenging and worthwhile pursuits. Both are complex endeavors but any steps forward are very satisfying.
How does my work differ from others of the same genre?
I have no glaring difference, my peers vary in skill and technique and I think no two are the same.
Why do I write what I do?
I write and work on the projects that will not leave my thoughts. If an idea comes to mind my brain takes control and I have little choice, but to accomplish the work. Perhaps an inner desire to expose a facet not yet considered or a perspective that must be shared is at the root. Sometimes it is simply an effort that needs to be executed, and as an author my efforts are written works.
How does your writing process work?
Diligent thought, organizational work lists and repetitive fresh-eyed editing and constant review of my progress. My favorite work to date is “The End of Humanity” it is a life-long collection of thoughts organized into a book and moving story. It can be reviewed at :

A Prayer for Fred Phelps
“Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.” Matthew 7:1
The Washington Post/Getty Images
I have only sadness and pity in my heart for Fred Phelps and the church he started.
If the name sounds familiar, but you cannot place it, Fred Phelps is the man who beget the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC). The church that makes those of us who follow Jesus cringe. The church that causes non-believers to turn away from Christianity.
I feel no anger, no hatred, because I understand the simple yet profound truth that if they do not allow the God who loves us to transform their hearts they will never experience the eternal life that Christ so nobly and courageously gave us.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

Out of Africa and into Europe. This is the dream thousands of illegal immigrants wish to fulfill by becoming boat migrants heading for the small island-state of Malta. VAHE’s Expert Voice Giacomo Orsini speaks openly about the conditions families are facing when cramped onto small boats and ending up in detention camps.
Melissa Schneider is an Expert Voice on China’s “leftover women“. She explains why over 27-year-old women in China are doomed with a looming expiration date and who to turn to when everybody turns away.

Choosing Slavery
Did you ever get advice you didn’t want to hear? A wise lady once told me, “Paula, you don’t have to be famous; you just have to be faithful.” It has taken me forty years to come to terms with this reality – following Jesus may mean being a nobody.
The apostle Paul got this. Even though he was a brilliant, highly educated Jewish leader, he realized that his highest calling was to be a bond slave of Jesus Christ. (Romans 1:1) A bond slave was a slave who had earned his freedom, yet chose to remain a slave the rest of his life because he loved his master. Once a slave made this choice his master pierced his ear with an awl. The post in his ear was a sign to all that he was a slave for the remainder of his life, because he loved and respected his…
