Summer Movies
Going to see this on Friday with my baby girl who turns 21. I just don't know how that happened.
In any case, if you've seen Salvation, let us know if it's worth our money. I'm sure it is but I'd like to hear from those who have already seen it.

Amazonbooks: Daddy Will You Dance With Me
Here's Sandee's (aka Sandra Schoger Foster) book, "Daddy, Will You Dance With Me?" available at Amazonbooks, of course.
Sandee has been a part of my writer's group for years and I might have seen the original manuscript and put a few red lines through it . . . just a few.
"Daddy, Will You Dance With Me?" is a sweet little book that will take you through Cydney's life as she and her Daddy share those special moments of love, faith and life's ups and downs.
Ah, my friends, you know you've made it when you top the list at Amazonbooks. :)
On back cover: It's never too early . . . or ever too late . . . for fathers and daughters to seize the moment and create everlasting memories of love.

Greg's Book
My good pal, Greg Johnson (aka Thorgrym) has published his book, The Armor of God. Sales has been very good and Greg is in the running for a hefty (and we mean hefty) prize. He is in the top 100 sellers for the month of March. Yes, he is within striking distance of number 1.
The Armor of God
Here is how the back cover of the book reads: "The Belt of Truth, The Breastplate of Righteousness, The Boots of Readiness, The Shield of Faith, The Helmet of Salvation, and The Sword of the Spirit - these are the pieces that make up the full armor of God."
"Do you know how to put on God's armor?"
"This book is the result of an in depth study into what it means to wear God's armor so that you might gain its protection against the devil's attacks."

Poetry of the Raiders and 49ers
I've never liked either team but I did like Lane Kiffin. I wish both coaches well . . . and the new guys too. Sometime soon somebody will have to petition for a team to move to LA. It's getting a little dull over here come football season.
E-Bates
Heaven forbid, it's tax filing time again. Looks like this year I am actually sitting down with someone who knows more than I do. It would be really nice to get everything filed on time this year.
In any case, get yourselves some good deals to make life a little easier at tax time; ebates or rebates if you will, brand names to choose from, top brand name stores who are willing to give deals these days. So find your ebates from WalMart, Target, Dell and many more. Shop wisely, my friends. Just give up an email address, membership is free.

Publishing With Associated Content
One thing I've learned from Associated Content is that you need to write a lot of articles to give yourself a chance to earn a decent paycheck. Writing multiple articles with search-engine-friendly words will pick up extra page views for your work. Remember you get paid for page views.
Of course, if you can actually get paid upfront for your articles that would be a sweeter deal. To get paid your work needs to be well edited and, obviously, searchable on Google. I seem to get paid for how-to articles the most. And I'm pretty sure many of you are experts in something. Think of your passions and write about it; children perhaps, school, knitting, drawing, writing etc. Just start out with "How To . . . "
For my latest article "Cooking With Cabbage," I had to do a little bit of research. Not much, but you at least want to get your facts straight. Six hundred words later I got paid $5. I know, not to boast about. But it's still making money with those page views. Some folks at Associated Content are writing 30 articles a day. More than likely, I would never reach that goal but one a day should suffice. Good luck and keep writing.

The Paint Wars
Ever found yourself on the losing end of a paintball battle? Nah, me neither. But my kids had a blast shooting down their youth pastors. I really should have joined in that paintball war . . . I'm such a sissy! Okay now, this sport is huge. Our young people drove a good hour to get to the best spot up in the desert. Actually these particular paintballers had a whole battlefield at the foot of our local mountains to play in.
The equipment these guys use and wear are amazing and, mind you, they take this game very serious. Military style guns or paintball sniper style are pretty impressive and the battle plans these teams draw up . . . oh my . . . it's like a tactical paradise.
In any case, I've been thinking that I might have to be on the front lines next time this battle begins. I will have to get one of those paintball masks that completely covers my head. No way am I getting paint stuck in my hair. I know . . . I'm such a girl.
