SNEAK PEEK: Karl’s Novel

OK, as a little benefit to my ‘blog readers’ I’m going to give you little ‘sneak peek’ of my novel which will be published ONLINE one chapter a week, starting NEXT week! (Will be announced via the Kidology Newsletter) This novel is the result of several years of work and included the help of a few key friends who offered help on plot/writing/editing/etc. But the idea came to me after seeing the first Harry Potter movie – I loved the movie and even the moral lessons it contained, BUT did not like the foundation of witchcraft… then I included my own fascination with Star Wars and decided to isolate the elements of what makes GREAT stories that kids (and adults) love… the greatest ‘danger’ of Harry Potter is not so much in the reading of the books, but in the imitating of Harry and his friends, kids end up dabbling in witchcraft… whereas imitating Jedi is pretty harmless (No, Mom, I do not have to clean my room…. just won’t work! ) – but I began to think… THEN IT HIT ME – all the elements of Great Stories EXIST IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE – but we just don’t realize…

Taking Over Culvers for the Last Time…

One of my favorite things to do is go out to eat with families after church (which you’ve seen on this blog) You may remember reading my joke about how I should get a discount for bringing so many families to a restaurant – well, either the owner of Culvers reads my blog, or the Lord moves the hearts of restaurant owners! Because at our last ‘Culvers’ after church gathering, the owner identified me as the ‘ring leader’ of this massive group, and asked the name of our ‘group’ – and next thing I know, I’ve got a BOX of 500 10% off VIP cards: Now I’m the guy to know around church. :) I passed these out to friends after church and then headed off to Culvers for my ‘last Sunday meal’ until after my sabbatical! Off to Culvers with my fan club. ;) (I didn’t forget Sara, she left church early for the wedding shower of my little bro’s fiance’, who are being married on May 27th, the finale’ of my sabbatical.)   Part of the gang, actually 56 people came for lunch! We took over the place!! (Manager said we ran them out of hot dog buns!)…
