As we get ready to look ahead into February, I see that January is dying a quiet death. There’s not a lot new to report. This week’s question, of course, is up and ready for your answers, and the new featured excerpt is up. My HubPages friend, Eric Dierker has been laid up in the hospital and rehab for a while and is now getting back into the swing of things. I featured a piece from his regular Sunday Sermon series which you can read each Sunday on HP. Welcome him back, and let him know how much you appreciate him.
It’s been hard finding quality time to write lately. A few minutes here. A few minutes there. Marisol is moving along very slowly. The projected publishing date is set for sometime in June so I better get moving.
In the meantime, carry on with what you find to do. There’s a verse in the Bible that say,s “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” The tragic death of basketball legend Kobe Bryant at the age of 41 reminds us all that we aren’t promised tomorrow. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it now.
We’ll get back to sharing some writing tips soon. Until then . . . Carry on!

Oh, so sorry to hear about Eric. I hope that he feels spring sooner. It’s been really busy here since the Christmas holidays. I couldn’t catch up with some of your posts recently.
Getting back to normal now.
Happy New Year William.

I was totally shocked about Koby’s untimely death. Ae you say, ” We never know when our time on earth is finished. ” I wrote an unkind poem about Thump and today, I feel sorry that I did that. At church Sunday, we have bible study after the sermon, and I misspoke as well. Everyone loved him, even our minister. They find it easy to downgrade the LBG’s and shows on TV that I like, yet they see no wrong with Trump. I am confused. I feel like an outsider and am thinking about not staying for bible class anymore. Excuse my rant, just need to talk about it, Have a great week.
