Still enjoying the aftertaste of the short lil Bible study we had on Friday. One of my favorite chapters, Hebrews 4, is what we discussed. It's so cool that Jesus was tempted in all things, yet was without sin. And we are encouraged, because He is the Ultimate and Great High Priest, to go boldly before His throne of GRACE to get help in our time of need. So rad.
Looks like today might be the night that we finish up the May/June issue. It seems there's another theme woven through this issue. Lust, the responsibility of choice, and the love of God find their ways in multiple places.
I heard from Craig, Steve Rowe's assistant, that he's looking much better. Seems he had a urinary tract infection and the doctors gave him the wrong antibiotics, which his body (and purple leg!) reacted against strongly. So the doctors did some other things, which included giving him more of the same (wrong kind) of antibiotics! Hard to believe. It looks like today he's having surgery to fix something or the other. He wanted me to spread the word to get prayer going on his behalf. Please join us in prayer throughout the next couple of days as it comes to mind (perhaps right now).
Love the cover, the back page, the Cannibal Corpse Says interview, the intermission, the features, the writing... It's all so good. I'm proofreading all of the magazine today, which can be a challenge on the eyes. But it's all good when we catch those errors.
Here's some I really pay attention to: "All punctuation happens," inside of the quote marks, "not outside". All Album Titles are in italics. I'll often put the names of Tours, Book Titles, and Movie Titles in italics, too. Song titles, "For Example," get quotes around them. I capitalize references to His Deity, and directions, like Northern California. It's is a compound word, meaning it is. Its means that the object, it, possesses something. Whereas you might say, it's Doug's rule, you could also refer to the organization (HM) as a personal pronoun, like "The magazine takes its rules seriously." There. I hope you are edified.
