New Beginnings

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. 

Norman Maclean

December 23, 1902: Norman Maclean did not begin writing fiction until he retired from his work as a professor at the University of Chicago—he published his first novel, A River Runs Through It, at age 73.

Hope everyone is having a glorious holiday season.  My Christmas has been wonderful, filled with grandchildren! 

To start the new year off right, I chose the above quote regarding one of my favorite movies of all time -- 

A River Runs Through It.  I only wish I'd read the book -- a novella actually -- before seeing the movie.  Not that it really matters, I'm just partial to print.

But the reason I'm posting it now is because the details in the quote seem very appropriate for beginning a new year.  Beginning a publishing career at the age of 73 is quite something if you ask me.  It gives me hope that it's never too late to start something new.

Now, about those resolutions...

Afterthought:  I think I'll save those for next time!

The Soul of Jesus

As part of His preparations for the long-prophesied birth of our Savior, God selected a devout group of primarily Jewish Essenes to oversee this monumental undertaking. The Soul of Jesus delves into numerous details surrounding these readily-available but little-known preparations which preceded the birth of Jesus, and then carries on to share delightful snippets concerning the birth and life of Jesus before the commencing of His Ministry, Jesus’ Healings and other Miracles, His Apostles, relatives, friends and the group of seventy disciples, the Crucifixion and Resurrection, His activities after the Resurrection, and Jesus’ Ascension, that are not recorded in the Scriptures.

The surprises do not stop there. The Soul of Jesus saves the block-buster news until the very end – the soul of Jesus had a number of historical incarnations before its final incarnation, commencing many centuries back in time as the soul of Adam in the Garden of Eden.
