Christmas Thoughts

"Merry Birthday, Jesus"
A poem by: Michael N Lovdal

Merry Christmas
Christ from Mary
Christ from God
God to man
Then God again
Again we merry
Merry on Christmas
Gifts from God
Gifts to man

Happy Birthday
Jesus Christ
Christ from heaven
Christ to earth
Born on earth
Under heaven
Usher in heaven
Usher in man

Man in heaven
Man with God
God in man
God of heaven
Ever together
Ever new
Salvation
Joy
Merry Christmas to you

Michael N Lovdal Short Story Anthology 2008

Twelve months and fourteen stories later, my first-ever short story anthology is now being cyber-published on WeBook.com. The stories are being added at a rate of about one per day (currently at five), and will end when I post the fourteenth story. All these stories have been available to you for quite some time on FaithWriters.com, however they most inconventiently require that you log in in order to read them. the MNL SSA 2008 is the second of my WeBooks, the first of course being the Classica Chronicles, which is still in progress.

Would you prefer to read my stories on Faithwriters.com or WebBook.com? You can let me know by commenting on this post, or e-mailing me at cmikeff(@)gmail.com (without the parentheses).

If the MNL SSA 2008 is popular enough, it may be potentially published in the future, either through WeBook or another online publisher. Details will follow.

No Bandwidth for You...

The Truthy Report has now ditched the 'Bandwidth Test' tool from the sidebar, as it looked really ugly, and generally wasn't used very much.

Amazon.ca Listings

A new semester is fast approaching - do you have all of your textbooks yet? Check out "thelockeshop" at Amazon.ca to see what I've listed in textbooks, CDs, movies, games, and more!

Warned

Christmas break is here, and I've already had a chance to write another story! "Warned" is the parable of a man who is giving a terrible warning of things to come.

You can check out "Warned" at my Faithwriters.com profile.

Talking Truthy

I absolutely LOVE answering people's questions. I'm not sure why, but I do. Anyway, I've created a new blog (accessible via the nav bar on the right, as always) called TruthyTalk. The name is of course based on The Truthy Report, and focuses on the concept of Q&A. You ask questions about anything, and I answer them. Whether your dog died and you need some consolation, or you're having a weird computer problem, I'd be happy to answer you or direct you to somewhere that can.
Ask your question @ TruthyTalk!
