I'm a man of one article (or two:-)). For those of you who have not yet known about it, the url is www.bibleone.net/TheMillennium.htm. Reason for the writing of that 11-page article is in the text. I wrote it last May. I believe my topic is a very important one for Christians, one that is seldom heard nowadays in Christendom. Have I whetted your appetites? I hope I have.

Would you share the text in english? You are protected by international, US and I'm sure Russian copywrite law.

I'm still chewing in that book you sent me. I don't agree with everything in it but it's an interesting read nonetheless.

I am writing a book called So You Want to be a Minister. Would anyone be interested in giving a peer review on what I have written so far?

I'd LOVE to read it! Post or send what ever you feel comfy with!

The last thing I wrote was an article for the local paper. I get to write twice a year for the faith page as part of the guest pulpit. This is what I wrote for the paper in mid November.

One Anothering Around The Warmth of Home
The older I get the faster the seasons seem to change. Not too long ago I wrote about spring and summer just arriving, and to use that time to grow relationships. How has it gone? I know we had opportunities abound this past summer. Our church group went camping twice and we indeed had a great time of fellowship, singing praises to God in the park, and growing those relationships. Recently, my wife and I met some wonderful folks in East Central Illinois, and have made some new friends among fellow believers. It was indeed a refreshing time, and we look forward to these new and older relationships to grow and mature in Christ. Now fall is upon us once again, and before we know it will be Thanksgiving. As we reflect on the past year, and all the Lord has done in our lives, and those relationships (old and new) we have much to be thankful for. Sure the economy, state of the nation, gas prices, etc. are on our minds, but we can indeed and should be thankful for all God has done. We are truly a blessed people. As the autumn season fades into winter and days seem cold and dreary we can be warmed with the fellowship of other believers as we exercise the Biblical commands for “One Another.” What a great time to open our homes for fellowship, Bible Study, and sharing of Christ with each other and those whom we desire to reach for the glory of God. Sharing and “one anothering” will help alleviate the dreariness that winter sometimes brings. Wolfgang Simson in his book “Houses that Changed the World” states “followers of Christ live their everyday life in spiritual extended families as a vivid answer to the questions society faces, at the place where it counts most: in their homes.” Hebrews 10:25 tells us “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.” Exhorting in this verse comes from the Greek word parakaleo and according to Thayer’s definition it is to call to one’s side, to admonish, comfort, entreat, encourage, strengthen, etc. Therefore, exhorting is something all Christians can do for their fellow believers. This winter allow the Lord to grow those relationships you developed over the summer into something beautiful. Make a pot of your favorite soup along with some cocoa or hot tea this winter. Open your hearts and homes and allow the Lord to minister to others through you, and you in return will be blessed beyond words, and continue to be thankful for those old and new friends in Christ. Remember relationship building is something that takes time, energy and effort, and what better time then now and what a better place than around the coziness of our homes.

That's GREAT! Thanks for the reminder that even with the crazyness of this season that "one anothering" should not be forgotten.

I am not a writer but I have "journaled" most of my life. Every once in awhile I will be inspired by the Holy Spirit to write a song or some poetry but that hasn't happened in quite awhile. My latest journaling is documenting our "adventure with God". Tom and I have stepped off the cliff, as it were, and we are living day to day completely and wholly dependant upon the Lord for everything. So, I have posted my journal entries in my blog for those who are tracking us and want to know “the next episode”; where we are and what God is doing in our lives from day to day. If you are interested in reading it, you can go to my page but I recommend starting from the beginning so you can see where we came from and can better understand where we are now.

I seem to dream of writing rather than writing. Last article I wrote was for the Alaska Pioneer Press (available: http://www.akpioneerpress.com ) about riding minature trains:

These trains run on their own steam in Wasilla
By Steve Carrington
SPECIAL TO THE PIONEER PRESS

WASILLA — Who can resist the idea of riding the rails? There is a certain mystery and romance of riding on a train. But there is the expense as well.
What if you could go from Wasilla to Seward in half an hour and for $4? You can hop on a train for a 20- to 30-minute train ride on the Alaska Central Railroad 12-acre route next to the Transportation Museum.
The volunteers at the Alaska Live Steamers believe the best way to understand trains and railroads is to experience them up close and personal.
That’s why this non-profit club created the Alaska Central Railroad where you can see a
scale model of an Alaska Railroad engine or even some familiar faces that the younger visitors will recognize.
These trains are scaled small enough to look down on, but big enough to ride.
Old-timers may remember seeing miniature train rides at the State Fair in Palmer back in the ‘70s and ‘80s. This is the same group, but in 1993, both the Transportation Museum and the
Alaska Live Steamers moved to Wasilla.
The non-profit group, Alaska Live Steamers built its Alaska Central Railroad over 12 acres at the end of the Wasilla Airport.
The locomotives will take your through Mat-Su Canyon over bridges and even tall trestles. You will discover small versions of familiar sounding places along the way. On the return to the station you will pass the scale yard with its roundhouse, turntable and switching yard just like the full size railroads.
Heading south on the Parks Highway — and just before you enter the confusing realm known as Wasilla — is Museum Drive. The turn is on the north end of the overpass that takes the Parks Highway over the Alaska Railroad tracks just north of Wasilla. Down at the end of West Museum Drive and around the corner at 700 Beacon Drive is the Alaska Live Steamers.
These scale trains run every weekend from 10 to 4 for a donation of $4 a person. Train rides available on weekdays for groups of 20 or more. Call 373-6412 to schedule a group weekday train ride.
Coming up next month is the Alaska Central ‘Night run’ on Sept. 13, at 9 p.m. Currently the cost is $8, but after Aug. 17, the cost will go up to $10. There is limited attendance and this is not for kids under 3.

I blog here: http://noconversion.wordpress.com

My blogging is driven by a simple cause - to expose what Jesus Christ is really all about. I personally believe that there are layers of religion and man-made systems of practicing that religion, that have been claimed to be founded by Jesus. And over past 8 years, I have been part of such systems and have come to this conclusion - For a long time, I did not know or fully understand what real Jesus Christ is all about, just some glimpses. In fact, many things that are done under his name are not something he called his followers to do. And I want to write about it.

I have been struggling with what I have seen in the world in terms of Christianity and what following Jesus Christ really means. As much as I have been learning over these past 8 years, I am being challenged more and more to get to the "bare" metal of the person of Jesus Christ - nothing to do with Christianity as we see in the world today.

I wrote this article recently in response to yet another misapplication of scripture in order to "keep" a Christian attending a local church:
