It's Deadline
So if I SNAP at you, you'll know why!
(snicker, snicker)
I was able to squeeze in a phone interview with a student writing a paper about Christians and Journalism. I had a short lunch with a friend from church. I finished writing and arranging all the EC's for the "Hard News" section.
What are "EC's?" Just a code word for "editorial content" or, as labelled in the last issue, "extra content." Little "mini stories" that show up at the front of the magazine in our news section. I'm working on arranging all the album reviews this issue. Wanna hear a secret? Not all of our writers have turned in their reviews for this issue. That's a drag, as we might have to just run without 'em if they don't hear our urgent cries for help and "getting those dang reviews turned in." One of our writers always surprises us by showing up with new reviews that we hadn't even considered -- unannounced, but fit and ready for print. That's nice.
I haven't even cracked the Bible open today, yet. I saw a Proverb my parents send to their kids and friends every day. That is always cool. Let's see...
Philippians 1. What a great verse: "...being confident of this, that He Who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." I love the fact that He's not done with me! (cuz we all still need some work...Lord, have mercy!)
