POPSA Quote from Randy Pausch Here's a tremendous quote from Randy Pausch, the inspirational former Carnegie Mellon professor who's "Last Lecture" was one of YouTube's most watched videos. Randy died this past Friday, 7/25/08, and I pray he is now resting with our Lord in heaven. He truly inspired me to live life by finding joy in every moment. Blessings to him and his family. May his legacy live on through them. Here's a link to his "Last Lecture". I promise you'll enjoy all 75 minutes of it.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo

POPSWhat's So Great About Grits? Grits are inexpensive, simple, tasty, and a thoroughly digestible food. Grits should be made popular around the world! Given enough of it, the inhabitants of the Earth would have nothing to fight about. A man full of Grits...is a man full of Peace". Now who among us can argue with that kind of logic? I love that quote! If everything were that simple...

POPSWriter's Digest 101 Best Sites Awards for 2008 There was NO way I was going to try and clip all of these sites but they are ALL worthwhile to any beginning writer or even a journeyman writer who has been out of the game for a while. I did not even go through the entire list but chose bits and pieces from the first half or so. Many say that there is no way that a writer can be discovered or get free advice. Here is some free advice. Enter Contests. Enter EVERY Contest you are eligible for. Wjen you look on the list and see the Horror Writer's Association link (Horror.org) I want you to know that this last Halloween, I found out just a half-hour before the deadline that a contest was running. I found an old story, dusted it off and entered it with 15 minutes to spare. I won. 1st Prize. My story was eventually printed in Rue Morgue magazine and now I am writing for a publisher under contract! Who'd a thunk it?

POPSAre we really creatures of habit? This reminds me of a quote from Mother Theresa, "I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there." Mother Theresa understood that by focusing on 'anti-war', even though the intention seems commendable the emphasis is still on 'war'. Likewise, if you're focusing on changing an old habit, you're still focusing on that habit; therefore feeding it. In short, old habits die hard. But forming a new habit which counteracts the old one might be a better alternative.

POPSPeople Reading God's Word Although I haven't used youversion.com, it is really causing a lot of good to happen. For instance, this quote is nothing but good. 6.2 million minutes over the course of two weeks reading the Bible! That is only those who have an iphone/itouch and who actually use this program. That is very good news. Spend time in the Bible. Nothing will change you like engaging in it.
