| Today, more than ever before, | | | | Sunday" religious equivalent of pagan "Christmas Eve" |
| News-and-Society~Relationships, our very lives are | | | | ~ I offer this bulletin as further proof that "Jesus |
| impacted by the Internet, our e-mail communications, | | | | Lives!~Hugs~ Russ:))I feel this is a great subject, |
| and the support/chat groups which have become a | | | | Brandon, that you've picked.I only started blogging the |
| major factor in the quality of lives that we enjoy.These | | | | 1st of the year, also the day that I was destined to |
| articles ~ on this great Ezine article bank ~ is a good | | | | meet my "Born nearly deaf" bro', Jamal ~ who first |
| example. It is therefor quite natural that what impacts | | | | introduced me to M ySpace and his otherwise |
| us via the "Net," the "Web," and/or our e-mail | | | | unexplainable bass playing.I've learned that names are |
| communications can spill over into our Ezine articles | | | | infinitely important! The universal treasure chest is |
| that we publish.In light of these facts, this is the | | | | bulging with name gold nuggets. Within it's scriptures, |
| introduction and the 1st of my new Ezine articles series | | | | God is quoted as having said "I called you by |
| now called "A Rainbow Reminder." This, and future "A | | | | name."Additional gospels, inspired writings, sacred texts, |
| Rainbow Reminder" series articles will also bere a the | | | | codes, enlightened translations and virtual volumes are |
| article subject in the title of the article ~ as this | | | | being made public via The Good Shepherd's Internet ~ |
| Introduction and Good Friday "A Rainbow Reminder" | | | | with its now heralded blogs. LOLNow, as in all former |
| series article does.These Fresh Ezine articles will | | | | times ~ His Sheep continue to be lovingly led ~ |
| usually have come into existence via "Spontaina." In | | | | faithfully fed. Look at History. Just whose story do you |
| other words, spontaneous rather than pre-planned | | | | suppose "History" chronicles?Whereas the 1st book of |
| material which originate due ~ in a large part ~ to | | | | Chronicles has been passed over as boring to the |
| stimulis of on-line influences and/or e-mail | | | | largely unenlightened masses ~ because of the |
| commnications .As many readers must do, we | | | | seemingly senseless name after name, with little else ~ |
| attempt to organize our on-line experience in such a | | | | God was able to see an author publish a best seller |
| way to find 1st the items of the day most relivant to | | | | titled The Prayer of Jabez ~ causing many of us to |
| our interests. Hence, most good article banks ~ like this | | | | have a another look.(NKJV) 1 Chronicles 4:10 and |
| one ~ ask authors to Select A Category:Subcategory | | | | Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, "oh, that You |
| for our articles to assist readers in readily finding their | | | | would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that |
| individual articles of interest.Yet, suppose that a given | | | | Your hand would be with me, and that You would |
| article could have been placed in several | | | | keep (me) from evil, that I may not cause pain!" So |
| Category:Subcategory. How do I choose which one to | | | | God granted him what he requested.You might enjoy |
| post an article into ~ whereby assuring that you find it? | | | | learning how my 16 year old daughter, Cassiopeia, |
| This article, for example could have been properly | | | | received her name.I was 43 years old when her |
| posted in several Category:Subcategory including: | | | | mother and I went out to dinner. As we sat waiting, I |
| Health; Self-Improvement;Spirituality; Marriage; | | | | reached across the table to hold my then wife's hand. I |
| Relationships; Babies; diseases; | | | | noticed that her wrist was very thin. That's strange, I |
| News-and-Society~Relationships; and God only knows | | | | thought. Using my other hand, I was easily able to |
| how many others! LOLThe reason I've selected "A | | | | completely encircle her wrist with my thumb and first |
| Rainbow Reminder" as the series name is because I | | | | finger."Honey," I said, "Your wrist is really skinny, yet |
| feel I can promise that the world will not be destroyed | | | | your tummy seems to be getting pretty big. Have you |
| again by lack of access to information and written | | | | been feeling alright?" Receiving only a nod and a slight |
| knowledge. Is sign is called your monitor. It stretches to | | | | smile as a reply I asked, "Do you suppose that ~ just |
| the unknown reaches of the Internet and | | | | maybe ~ you could be pregnant?""Well, Russ," she |
| Cyber~Space.I've selected one of these Subcategory | | | | said rather sheepishly, "I've kinda been wondering that |
| for this article to make a point. If you want to find the | | | | actually."You might be thinking that she should have |
| next one that I publish, you'd better search for it by | | | | known? Especially, when you understand that when I |
| typing in my author's name, Russ Miles. It could be | | | | met her at PWP. (Parents Without Partners) This |
| anywhere. Most likely, the article will be in another | | | | woman was already the mother of two daughters.I |
| Category:Subcategory that fits it "A little" better.Now, | | | | attended my first meeting without my 10 year old son, |
| one last thing before I post this article. If something that | | | | Douglas. I knew the moment that she arrived at the |
| I say touches you, or if you agree or disagree with me | | | | PWP business meeting late and stopped at the mirror |
| and/or the subject matter, POST A COMMENT! Yes, | | | | to shake the rain from her blond hair, that I wanted this |
| express yourself! Rant! Rave! Vent! Applaud! But, at | | | | woman. Yup! That was the very day that my 2nd |
| least, share your feelings. Don't be profane. Such | | | | divorce was final. And, yeah, you know why I was |
| remarks will not make it through the editorial staff. Yes, | | | | there.After our dinner, I said, "Honey, I've got a Doppler |
| you must include your name and e-mail ~ "Register | | | | in the car. Lets go home and try it on your tummy. I |
| one time" if you will ~ in order to submit comments. | | | | think we can figure it out. There are instructions with |
| Your "Published" comments do not include your name | | | | it."At that time, I was just started trying to get going |
| unless you wish for them to.Okay, here's the 1st article | | | | again in a durable medical equipment business that I'd |
| subject in "A Rainbow Reminder" series. It begins with | | | | started. A Doppler is an instrument used to check |
| the last e-mail which prompted me to submit this | | | | veins for blood clots by sound. At least, that was the |
| article.Thank you for asking. I'm up, I'm fine :)Below may | | | | reason that I marketed it to Doctors. They used the |
| explain where I've been for a couple of days... | | | | Doppler in conjunction with my principal medical |
