Wow--Inheritance is starting to sound really good. I love reading about black female leads wherever I can. Thats why I love Octavia e. Butler. Anyhow, you may have to go secular so that you will be more free. I have trouble with my short stories because they are "deep" and a bit sensual(A Christian may call me a harlot).<BR/><BR/>Okay, your son's twenty one(I know he be having the girl callers, eh?) It'll pass as he gets older and wiser. he has a good mum. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12177793.post-9075816673109981182008-07-02T11:37:00.000-04:002008-07-02T11:37:00.000-04:00Ah, Erica! The kid is 21. Relatively speaking, he ...Ah, Erica! The kid is 21. Relatively speaking, he should be waaay over hormones by now. But this culture has just trained kids to make hormones the be-all and end-all. <BR/><BR/>YAY!!!!! I honestly think you'll like "you may all prophesy." I like books that are practical. Just practice it. Read it slowly and simply trust. Sooo glad you're reading it.<BR/><BR/>Look at me talking as if sex isn't so important. Right now am in my usual quandary about whether or not a Christian publishing company might be the best place for Inheritance. Would cramp my style as to what I am allowed to put in. Had the same stress when I was writing Wind Follower and seeking a publisher for it. Race issues are soooo way behind in Christian fiction. And a romance between a black woman and a white-Chinese guy. Well, Christian publishers and Christian booksellers have to consider their public...who might not be real thrilled with sex, or race in a novel. <BR/> <BR/>Anyway...a bit flustered now. Might go toward a secular publisher because they are more likely to do dark horror stuff with Christian elements than a Christian pub is likely to do Christian stuff with elements of dark horror and sex. And I'll be freer and not have to deal with all those rules about non-married folks not being allowed to sit on beds together or the evils of dancing. At least without all those rules I'd be able to write the story ...the way I want it. So might just commit to avoiding Christian company for inheritance. Will see. Once again, gotta put the future of my books into God's hand. -<BR/><BR/>-CCarole McDonnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15443401088634718848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12177793.post-6493666021969833722008-07-02T11:29:00.000-04:002008-07-02T11:29:00.000-04:00Right now he will be defiant.

What you must do is just keep encouraging him in the Lord, like you are. Some parents are condescending and judgmental when they do this...but prayer works.<BR/><BR/>Also, "You May All Prophesy" just came to my door one minute ago. Yeah!<BR/>-EricaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
