New Year's Resolution

Since Craig set this blog in motion (much to my surprise) he has (or feels that he has) the right and responsibility to keep me in the know. He informed me recently that "real bloggers" work at introducing their readers to other bloggers or points of interest. He says I should consider myself a part of a network and begin communicating with others and passing along the information I receive as well as doing research on my own. Yikes! What a responsibility. I started out thinking no one was reading this but him and Jason, and they pretty much know everything I know. It sounds like I had better get on the ball or call it quits!

My New Year's Resolution is to follow my son's advice (isn't that what wedo when we reach 65???) and make this more interesting. It would help if you, the reader, would send your blog address via email (marthabrammer@hotmail.com). I would enjoy reading it as well as passing it along.

I have two I enjoy reading about and will be delighted to pass along to you now.

*One is Ward Jenkins, a buddy of Craig's whom we have known for a long time. They were friends at Cincinnati Christian University where they attended a short time. (However, Ward was there long enough to marry the coach's daughter!) When he came home with Craig, we enjoyed watching him sketch cartoons at the kitchen table. Jason still has the one he did of him. I always told him he was a good artist, but little did we know he would go this far. To see Ward's work, go to www.Ward-O-Matic.com.

*The second one is Bill Venrick who was an elder when Howard preached in Lancaster, OH several years ago. Bill did a great favor for me at a time when we needed it. The church was young and the preacher's pay was low, so I needed to find a job to help out. When Bill heard about it, he took me to Merrill Publishing Co. (Columbus, OH) where he worked in the art department. I was hired to work along side of him that same day. It was a favor I will always remember.

Bill is a good writer and his points of interest are unlimited. You will enjoy reading his essays at www.thewordwright.org. 

Okay....how's that for a start? Let me hear from you.
