Art

Do you draw?  As our second issue goes to print, (you'll see it here in just 4 days!) we have been thinking about the importance of images in our world.  For our December issue especially, we would love to have some original artwork to share in the magazine.  If you have sketches, paintings or illustrations related to the wonderful season of Advent/Christmas/Epiphany/winter, please consider sharing them with our readers!  You can email digital images to us using the CONTACT US link above.  Thanks!

Sneak Preview...

 From the article, "Integrity, a Forgotten Virtue"

           When was the last time that you or someone you know sealed a deal with a handshake? Do you even remember the last time? Most people don’t because the majority of people don’t trust their neighbor as much as in past generations. Today we have to go through the trouble of writing up a contract in order to make a deal, so that we can be assured that the agreement will be kept. Is this the way that one man should think of another, as a potential threat? Why has integrity gone so far down in the past few generations when in the time before that there was no need for such contracts? What does this loss of integrity ultimately cause?

            One explanation for the loss of integrity is cheating....

Our proof copies went into the hands of proof-readers today, so all is on schedule to have our second issue into the hands of readers by Sept. 5th.  The online issue may even be ready earlier... we'll see.

We're getting to the final stages of production for our second issue!   As we put things together, we're wondering if you, our readers, have any comments or thoughts you'd like to share after reading our first issue?  We'd love to hear them ... even print them in a "reader's response" column or "Letters to the Editor."

So go ahead ... now's your chance! ... tell us what you think! (Use the contact us tab above)

We're looking forward to hearing from you!

Issue #2...
