It's alive!!!

Ever heard of people mistaking dolphins for sharks? Happens all the time but you have to know what a dophin is and what a shark is and know the difference. A dolphin is a mammal and so his fins are horizontal. A shark is a fish and so his fins are vertical. So it is with our writing. Do we know the items we are writing about and be sure that technically at least it is correct, if not with a literary correctness. Research is the key, and extensive research, not something over the top. Do critical thinking, and the writing on the page will make sense and be looked on favorably.

DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!!!

Many an afternoon I spent with my family at the Saints' games in Tulane stadium then in the New Orleans Superdome. Many a day we were chanting and cheering, even when the Saints were losing, crying out for "DEFENSE, DEFENSE!!!" And that is what we all need to do, cheer ourselves onward and upward to defense ourselves against thoughts like "I cannot do this!!!" You can, you can, you can...because God has endowed you with those abilities. Hang in there! DEFENSE!
