You know how separation anxiety works: You get this awkward feeling that something isn’t right. You feel like you’re missing something. There’s this indefinable, but undeniable blasé feeling. I sit here at my computer and realize I’m feeling that way right now.
Yesterday, I happily turned over the manuscript for Penance to my publisher. Yay! I should be happy, right? I AM happy to complete the book. I’m VERY happy with the final product. But I’m a bit sad too. You see, when you live with characters every day for months at a time, they become somehow greater than the …
I am especially happy today, because I have just finished my first pass at the third novel in the This Generation Series, Penance! Michael and crew have a lot to see and experience before their storylines end. This novel is grittier than the first two, but then again times are tough for our characters. They have to deal with the loss of family and friends at the end of Pentecost, and they have to forge new relationships in order to survive in a world gone mad. Rest assured, though, this book is both exciting and really fun …
Well, to the disappointment of many a conspiracy theorist, we made it through September without a rapture, asteroid impact, the ‘Big One’ earthquake, economic collapse, or disclosure of alien intelligence. There is an old saying in business regarding financial projections: “You’ll be spot on if you give the amount or the date. You only get into trouble when you give both.” The problem with the September projections is that they were too specific and tried to force a timeline. The fact that these events didn’t occur in September does not invalidate some very good trend analysis behind the predictions.

September is poised to be a month like none before it. There will be signs in the sky, possible financial calamity, and geopolitical milestones. The month has a lot of people talking about the prophetic significance of these events. I think there is a lot to be gleaned from what they are saying. Let’s take a look.
When my cousin, Gregg, finished reading Pentecost, he said to me: “I don’t know, TC, but it looks to me like you might have written yourself into a corner.” I didn’t admit he was right, but I have to tell you I was afraid of that too. Precipice and Pentecost have a lot going on, but they move inexorably forward to the event that ends Pentecost. On the ride to that huge climactic event, we were entertained by a host of characters that had become like family to me … and, I might add, to a lot of …
It seems like I have been interested in Bible prophecy for a hundred years! Literally, I cannot remember when I wasn’t trying to line up the words of the prophets to current events. I know the passion grew strongly for me when I was in high school, and it never really diminished
The big question when looking at Bible prophecy is this: WHEN are we?…
Six and a half years ago, my mother had a massive stroke. She requires 24-hour/day care. We have caregivers who come and go, but I spend many hours at her house with her every single day.
To tell the truth, I didn’t think I had it in me to be a caregiver. For years, I worked as a businessman in New York City. I was the controller of a large organization, and I guess I got spoiled. People seemed to actually want to do what I told them to do … when I told them to do it! Boy did …
Aren’t introductions the worst? Trying to put your best foot forward … who has a best foot anyway? Mine are decidedly alike, and even if one were superior, wouldn’t it be the better foot, not the best foot? And now I guess I have inadvertently given you a little insight into the way my mind works. I wonder a lot, about a lot of things.
For years, I worked as a businessman in New York City. Because of some circumstances unique to my employer, my job was filled with opportunities to think outside the box. To find unusual solutions to …
