Rave - Holy False Advertising!

Try & guess what place this card is an advertisement for.









Here, I'll give you some hints:
1) I found it in my daughter's pocket when doing laundry (God help me)
2) You can sing as horribly loud & bad as you want in this place and noone will say anything.
3)This is NOT a place to take naps.
4) Bring lots of money to give.

That last hint was too easy.....
You guessed it, it's for the church where my daughter attends youth group(Don't worry she's too young still for the Sat nite program..whew!) Apparently they have a 20 something group that meets on Saturday evenings. Here's my question, do you think they watch christian porn and eat pancakes? Because there's no real explanation on the back-- just a when and where kind of thing. Something tells me this church isn't hurting for membership(or maybe they are and they're getting desperate). And I know you're curious and maybe thinking it's a catholic church, but rest easy...it's a Baptist church. Moral of the story---Always check your daughter's jean pockets before doing laundry, never assume you're children are up to no good and think again before you label Baptists as conservative.
For anyone who's interested, I believe next month's theme is going to be Bestiality & Burritos and they meet Saturdays at 8 p.m.
Have a good time.

Rant- BOO! A scary thought for writers...see ? below

You know what's scary as h-e-double hockey sticks? What if I'm the only person that gets my writing, you know? The only one that likes it and appreciates it? Is that enough? I mean Thank God I have a great day job that pays the bills and puts wine on the table... but can I still feel like a good writer if I never get an honest dollar for my work? Sometimes I feel like I've shut myself up in 4 walls to pursue the unattainable, missing too many good times as I sit here typing away with enough nerve to think that what I think or imagine needs to be written down and offered to the public.
How vain can you get?
Maybe I just need to get a laptop:)
I remember once reading about a lady who was still trying to get published after 15 years, and I was like, somebody needs to give that lady half a clue. Needless to say, I needed the clue.....because I can see myself doing that, hoping year after year, that someone comes along and not only gets it but pays me for it. However, there is a little part of me that will look and think of how much time I've wasted, like the way you feel when you sit in traffic with no cell phone conversation, fast food or good music to partake of,wasting 30 minutes staring at the back of a semi. Where's the purpose in that?
So here's my question, what if you could see into the future and know that you would never be published...Would you still write???

Rave - Anne Frank & Gustav Klimt

"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. "
~Anne Frank

I keep this quote in mind when I'm raking all the leaves upon leaves that have fallen from my 26 Oak trees. What is this "leaf blower" they speak of ? Happy Fall guys!! The pic, titled The Tree of Life is compliments of Gustav Klimt, my favorite painter.

Rave - Hallowmere Trailer

Check out this new book series, Hallowmere. The trailer is seriously spooky, so watch if you dare...This book is somewhat similar to my WIP, Where the Stones Speak, so I'm a little afraid to read for fear that my idea has been done, and done well :( But I'm intrigued and I can't wait to read it, so I thought I would share. Here's the link also....
