I’m on 105/ 150 Word pages with the editing of Butterfly. I do 5 pages/ 6 days a week most weeks. God willing I should be done by the Sept 1 deadline. Editing isn’t fun, but I’m getting through. I’ve also begun writing again. It’s much better to be well enough to get back to work. I plan to go back to the typing of Beginnings 2 once Butterfly is published, but you know how plans are.

Woke Constitutional Amendments to be Voted on in Virginia
Posted in News, Thoughts of the Day, tagged Bible, Jesus, God, Christian, Christ, Messiah, Jewish, abortion, freedom of religion, Virginia, amendments on July 26, 2026| Leave a Comment »
These amendments remind me of the disastrous Prop 1 in New York in 2024. The amendments use broad and vague wording. The effect of the amendments reaches far beyond what it seems. The “Virginia Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment” does not exclude the “fundamental right to reproductive freedom” based on age, thereby potentially nullifying statutory rape laws. https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/07/22/virginias-abortion-amendment-would-strike-down-statutory-rape-laws-warns-lawsuit-seeking-invalidate-deceptive-language/
I fear these amendments will be used to criminalize the dissent coming from Christianity and Judaism, leaving wokeism as the only allowable worldview in the eyes of the state. Wokeism may not be an official religion, but it operates as one. Adherents seem to believe that theirs is the only right and virtuous voice. And they once again appear to be hell-bent on silencing the opposition and possibly prosecuting them if they fail to buy-in.

Air pollution filter recommendation
Posted in News, Thoughts of the Day, tagged AI data centers, air pollution, filter recommendation, wildfires on July 16, 2026| Leave a Comment »
It’s certainly noteworthy to get a preview show of what the higher levels of pollution will be like when the pollution standards in this country are deregulated and when all the AI data centers become fully operational from coast to coast. And then, we’ll still have the wildfires and the plumes of pollution wafting across the globe from already unregulated countries to contend with. But to be helpful, I have one recommendation: Filtrete™ MPR 2800 Ultrafine Particle Reduction Air Filters. https://www.filtrete.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b00039984/
You can get them online. I get mine at Sylvane and Walmart. Really, I didn’t notice the smoke inside the house until it reached the Very Unhealthy level outside.

Hi. Just wanted everyone to know my six e-Books are free throughout July on the Smashwords sale. I guess I had peritonitis to go with my ruptured appendix. But my voice and I are getting better. I am working on editing round 3 of Butterfly. Slowly and steadily I am making progress.

6/16/26 Writing Update
Hi. I just got out of the hospital again. This time I had a acute appendicitis. It had ruptured two days before I went to the emergency room. It was extremely painful. Fortunately, God provided me a surgeon and anesthesiologist willing to remove it. Apparently, they don’t always remove it anymore. Of course, they couldn’t tell it had ruptured before the surgery. Meanwhile, I’ve decided the next time I’m in that much pain, I’m going to go to the ER right away, even if that pain is my only symptom. I will ask to have tests run on me to make sure it’s not serious.
Mind Master Chronicles: Butterfly release date has been changed to September 1, 2026. I’m going to try my best to have it done by then.
Mind Master Chronicles: Labyrinth podcast is postponed until I get my voice fully back. I lost it after I was intubated during the procedure. It is improving.

There are a lot of awesome bookstores on there. Also, some libraries have added eBooks of my books to OverDrive! I am very grateful for both. If you’d like to read my book at your local library, please request your library add it to OverDrive!

I’m doing a podcast of my reading through Labyrinth. It’s pretty fun yet work intensive. I am doing it straight through without editing, so you can hear the pages rustle. Plus, I have to correct myself on occasion. But I like the natural feel of a human voice these days.

I’m editing Mind Master Chronicles: Butterfly. Alas, I wrote the scenes based on which I felt inspired by. So now, I have to pay the price and put them in order!
I’ve been giving out some signed copies of Beginnings. I also have business cards of the cover. I’ve gotten good feedback on this book, which I appreciate! The third book is being typed right now. Strangely, when I filled up notebook 2, I numbered notebook 3 wrong. I wrote 193 when it was 293. I’m thinking maybe I took some time off before I finished it? Either way, it didn’t dawn on me until recently that I wrote a longer book. (rofl) I refer to the third book as Beginnings 2. It has a more creative name, but I don’t want an AI bot to steal it! 😀
