I'm going to make a trip to the post office and the bank but I will be back soon.
Okay, watch out for the rain or the fog or whatever you're having out there...
I think we've discussed this before. I'm all for it, and would love to see either a solo by CG or Myself, or a collaboration by as many as we can gather.
As far as I am aware, the biggest impediment to such a work would lie in the field of graphics. As an example, the artwork with post 124 is, I believe, a Thomas Kinkade. We would need to get either the permission of dozens of artists for those poems linked to graphics in some way, or come up with additional original art based on the poems.
For me, the poetry comes easy, but I am no artist, and I agree that the linkage of art and poetry makes for powerful and memorable images, and it would make a great book.
Heres a link to an online publisher which seems to have everything we would require, once we decided on content and format..

Also, these two poems of mine are showing elswhere on the web, with my permission. I dont think that presents a problem, either.

Everything outside is nice and white now. Too bad it won't last much longer. I like snow. I just don't like ice.
I'd probably buy a copy.
Earthquakes.
Just kidding ... I haven't felt any shaking this far north.
I'd give you a signed copy by me and Nnb and whoever else was on it.
Thank you! :-)
We will finance the balance with 20% down....@AC!
What's AC?
That makes 7 or 8 copies that would be off the shelf so far! This is gonna be huge.

Bible In One Year: Genesis 20-22
A shopper underestimated the total cost of her groceries. When the cashier added up the items, the woman was $4 short. Then something unusual happened. The man behind her in the checkout lane saw her digging through her purse and motioned to the clerk to put the amount on his bill. He modestly refused to give the woman his name.
A few days later, the local newspaper reported that a charity organization had received a $4 check with the following note: "This check is for the man who helped me out of a tight spot. I came up with the idea of giving it to you as a thank-you to him."
This incident illustrates a vital spiritual principle. We should feel an obligation to pass along to others the kindnesses shown to us. That's how the apostle Paul responded to God's mercy. Of course, he could never repay the Lord for salvation, but that didn't stop him from openly showing his gratitude. Because of what he had received, he showed the highest kind of charitysharing the gospel with others.
Let's not think that because we can't repay God for saving us, we owe Him nothing. We are indebted to Him for everything. The least we can do is show our appreciation by telling others about Him. Mart De Haan
Happy New Year girls.
