As the Waters Reach My Ankles

You will remember that a little over 3 weeks ago I posted here about a freelance writing opportunity that had come my way. I am sure you are all waiting with baited breath for an update, so here goes.
Today was a day of several milestones in my quest to support my family through my […]

Dipping My Toe in the Waters of Freelance Writing

Some of you are aware of the freelance writing gig that I picked up this week and several of you have wanted to know where to find the articles. The links are below, but be warned that the site I am writing for is dedicated to content management systems. Therefore, most of the […]

A Writer’s Blessing

I was capturing notes in my Moleskine from my current study of R.A. Torrey’s “How to Pray” and I realized that while many blessings have been written over the years - the most famous being “An Irish Blessing” - I had never heard of a blessing for writers.
I planned to research writer’s blessings when I […]

Success 3

Success in the world means power, influence, money, prestige. But in the Christian world, it means pleasing God.
- Charles Colson
Can a man achieve both? Absolutely. Why are the men and women who achieve both not known? Because the people who achieve both have no need to be recognized. If they […]

Happy Birthday Baby!

Today is Mrs. Campbellodeon’s birthday.  Rather than ramble on, I will simply quote the wisdom of my father:
“Most men spend their entire lives trying to find the right woman to marry.  You just knock yours up.”

Productivity, or lack thereof

There are many things to write about…
 
I have written nothing about Hurricane Katrina, or
Auburn bouncing back from the season opening loss to Georgia Tech with a shutout of Mississippi State.
Nor have written about Auburn freshman defensive end Alonzo Horton who, after already losing his aunt to the floodwaters of New Orleans, thought he had lost […]

Success 1

To Appreciate Beauty, To Find The Best In Others;
To Leave The World A Bit Better,
Whether By a Healthy Child, A Garden Patch
Or a Redeemed Social Condition;

Random Collection

One of my two readers complained that I was spending too much time talking about Auburn Football.  I don’t think you can spend too much time talking about Auburn Football.  But since not much is going on down on the Plains and I am a little tired of reading about it and more ready to […]

Office Scuttlebutt, Terrell Owens, and Auburn Football

 
One of our IA’s left our project team today.  I don’t know if she left the company or moved to another project, but my guess is that she left the company.  It’s funny… I can remember how naive I was when I first started with Sapient.  I didn’t think I would ever change jobs and […]
