Portrait Pitfalls
Write a sequence of eighteen stories and draw a cover for each one depicting the principal female character in portrait form. Don't worry, that's not a Vocal challenge! It's how I spent last year!

Deconstructing Atheism
"Professor John Lennox's Insightful Analysis" The relationship between belief in God and rational evidence Some thinkers argue that we must make a choice between God and science, much like choosing between Henry Ford and Engineering as an explanation for the motor car. In this discussion at the Oxford Union, Professor John Lennox presents a compelling case for God, providing dense content for serious contemplation.

Show, don't tell
The adage "show, don't tell" is one of the most well-known writing strategies in storytelling. It essentially emphasizes how a screenwriter gives the audience information and subtext rather than trying to convey it through exposition.

Discordant Paradise
In the celestial rivulets of your paradise, I have traversed with the scythe, my sinews resounding with the symphony of love. The reservoirs of my emotions brim with tears, every drop a testament to my autonomous affection. I have never harbored a sense of absence; instead, all the rivulets have unfurled their tendrils within the chambers of my heart. There is nothing I have not encountered, yet I remain devout in my trust upon this world, upon all humanity. Now, tell me, how will you resurrect love in my heart for the world?

Sports Car
I disdain the ephemeral ideals, life philosophies, and activities of humanity on this Earth. Yet, I harbor no aversion for life itself, as it emanates from an imperceptible source, a visible current that is not guided by these dogmas but emerges from the profound depths of emptiness, rising like the inexhaustible essence from the arid soil of time. For all the transgressions on this spinning globe, I first seek the faults within myself. Upon careful contemplation, I perceive my misdeeds as cosmic in scale and a playful mockery of irreparable damages. I acknowledge that wrongdoers and those silently bearing the burden of their transgressions are inherently intertwined, complementary forces. I intensely abhor the insidious idolatry of the leash for its insatiable materialistic cravings. I vividly remember selling my mother at the hands of the butchers in the marketplace for a sports car. The orchestration of a nocturnal feast in pursuit of acquiring the sports car was matched by waiters presenting American steaks, triggering the aroma of my mother’s flesh from the depths of memory.

A Penguin's Quest
'A Penguin's Quest' is a children's picture book written by Scott McDermott and illustrated by Christine Anderson. What does a penguin do when confronted with a wish? This is the story of a little penguin named Ingrid who had a wish to do something that penguins do not usually do in their lives along with other many adventures they may have. This is a great picture book that can be used across the curriculum that can also increase creativity and language skills. Christine has created images that are vivid and realistic that look like photographs. It is a book that is a story of making friends and learning more about oneself.

Happy New Year, Charlie Brown!
This one is very early, but I am on a roll. 'Happy New Year, Charlie Brown!' created by Charles M. Schlutz is when Charlie is assigned in school to read War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy over the New Years holiday and write a report. He wants to enjoy the holiday with the little red-haired girl, but something happens and couldn't. This one is not as old as the other Charlie Brown specials, but it is still fun to watch just to see the gang getting ready for another new year together.

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving' created by Charles M. Schlutz. This is one of my favorite holiday cartoons this time of year. It is no longer shown as a holiday special on network television, but I can watch it on DVD. This is when Charlie Brown receives a telephone call by Peppermint Patty and invited herself to Thanksgiving dinner, but Charlie has other plans. The whole gang gathers in Charlie's backyard for a 'special' dinner. There are to me many still funny scenes.

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
This one is late since Halloween is over, but 'It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown created by Charles M. Schlutz is another one of my favorite holiday specials that is no longer offered on television. This one is when Linus sits in the pumpkin patch waiting for him like the Great Pumpkin is Santa Claus. All his friends do all the fun Halloween activities, and even Snoopy has an adventure.
