Slowing down

I've been a bit negligent in posting updates so here we go.

I have been forcing myself to slow down a bit and get a few things finished and put one on hold for a month or so.

Warrior is being run through the editing paces. I've gone over it quite a few times and made more changes in verb tenses and using different words than ever before. It is my best work to date. Right now it's in the hands of Jim Mohr who does my website and has edited some of my work in the past. He's a true life saver and great friend.

I have been very slow to get to work on documentary I'm at least done with the interviews and I've been dragging my feet on the reenactments. It's not been easy to get that figured out.

God has been very good to me in seeing more positive reviews come up on my books on amazon.com. He has also opened a few doors for me and opened up my heart more than it has been in 8 or 9 years. He's surrounded me with many great friends and helped me to mature in many ways. There is no better feeling than to know that God is still working in your life and that He is still there everyday.

God bless each and everyone who reads this..encourage them, inspire them, comfort them, and keep them safe. Amen

Ready for a break

Been way too busy for words....Ok so lets start the rundown.

I've finished shooting all the interviews for the Underground Railroad documentary I'm working on. Very good news. Now it's on to the other parts such as reenactments, music and narrator. Still a ton to do to get this thing ready to release in May/June 2011.

I have another documentary coming up with my girlfriend on steamboat travel on the ohio river. Not much started their yet but some good sources aren't too far off.

"Warrior" is going through the editing and formatting process. I plan to make it available in paperback and ebook. Which brings me to a decision I've been thinking about quite a bit. I am going to try to release all my books in ebook/pdf for free on a few websites to be named later. I just got a nook and think it would be great to have them available for free since the nook can read pdfs.

Finally I'm turning 31 on friday and hope that means I can get a little bit of a break and get some sleep. I've been very busy and could really use the rest.

Blessings to everyone! God is in control.

Busy Bee

I've been crazy busy so much so that I've not been updating as much as I wish I could.

I've been finishing up interviews for my Underground Railroad Documentary "Candlelight By Night" with the National Underground Freedom Center.

I have had the pleasure of helping out Williamsburg High School get their video production equipment and program up in quality. They have fantastic students, faculty, and superintendent.

I plan on getting my third book edited very soon and released this summer.

God is moving. I need to spend much more time with Him. I am just a man but He is the creator of the universe. He's in control. Not me. Please keep me in your prayers.

No Such Thing

There is no such thing as enough prayer. We all need it..not just for ourselves but for everyone. Someone is always hurting, living, dying, healing, and breaking. As men and women of God it is our duty and privilege.

None of us are perfect no matter how well our lives are going in our minds. Let God keep us in humility, honesty, integrity, truth, and peace. We will all be accountable one day before God. That day can very easily be today.

Lord please help us to live lives that bring glory to You. Let us remember to build Your kingdom and not just our own. Give us eyes that see that which You desire of us. Help us to hunger and thirst for You and not the world and what it offers. God open our hearts and ears to listen, love, and be willing to do Your will. Please help us to build up and not tear down. Help us to be aware of our words and thoughts and how they effect others. God please help us to know that we are not alone and that our ways are not always the best way but Your way is. Lord we ask these things in Jesus name.
Amen.

Finishing the year!

As we wind down to the end of the year did you get everything you had planned done? Do you have any regrets? Were there some distractions on the way?

This year I've achieved more than I usually do in a year. I published a second version of "He's the Pen, I'm the Paper, and first version of "Thankful to be Useful." I finished writng "Warrior" and have a good start on "Healer." I got to shoot a music video with a great and talented artist "Appointed" for Georgia. I started a documentary on the Underground Railroad about the most recognized county for spots on the Underground Railroad. Professionally it was a fantastic year!

Personally God opened many doors I've been praying about for quite a while.  My health has improved dramatically as have many of my abilities. God is so good!

Thank you God for all that you did this year! I know that each year can't be like this but I thank you for it and hope that I will be thankful for it as the New Year begins.

Don't wait for the new year to start!! Start praying about next year and what God would have you do!

Shooting!!

Shooting an interview with Clermont County Historical Society Memeber Gary Knepp for the Underground Railroad Documentary!! Really looking forward to getting some great info today and having another piece of this very large project completed.

I've been consumed with this project quite a bit. Lots of time thinking about shooting and trying my best to get everything covered. Plenty of time setting up lighting and making sure everything is in working order.

Music Video

This is the music video I shot for Christian Artist "Appointed"
