Oh what a feeling!
Friends, countrymen, lend me your ears... It is with much joy and thankfulness that I proudly announce the draft manuscript for "The Southern Cross: A Civil War Devotional" has been completed. After many-many-many months, even more days and nights, and thousands and thousands (and thousands) of words, I just capped off the final page, and sent it off to my proofer. Oh what a feeling!

I remember reading similar posts (like this) over on Eric Wittenberg's blog and thinking, "Man, I miss that." I have not published a book since 2005, and this is by far some of my best work. Plus, this piece is almost 4x's longer than my previous works, includes photos, and features a nice index of scripture verses. So... needless to say, I am fried. In fact, I have done NOTHING, but this for the last 8 days.

Anyway, I need a break (and a nap) so I will be taking off this week from typing anything, but will be back posting next week after some much needed R&R. I'll keep you posted on the status of this project, and it's publishing news, but for now... Good night and good luck...zzzzzzzzzz.
