Poe’s Cat

September 5, 2019 Herb 4
I found this several years ago (The date stamp on the text file says 11/06/04) somewhere, floating around the Internet without any real attribution. Apparently, it is included in an anthology somewhere, but I could not find the original author’s name. I Continue Reading[...]

I did some good work years ago by using a couple of books of writing prompts. I have a start on something new for you in the works.

Re-Re-Posted

10 Plagues Vs Gods of Egypt

August 28, 2019 Herb 4
This is a handout I had put together for a Sunday School lesson one time. Not an all-inclusive list, but I think you can get the point. It was an un-dated piece in the archives. Sorry for the poor formatting. Scripture Plague Continue Reading[...]
