One Small Step Forward

Hiya all.

I did it.  I signed up for the free account at Fictionwise and started to take advantage of the giftcertificate that I was awarded.  That's kinda cool.  the down side is that this is yet one more site on this blasted nefarious internet that I have to remember the password to.

Anyhow, it's like one thirty in the morning, and I have to get to sleep here soon.  I'll just leave it at that.

Hugs to all.

Andre.

A momentary lapse into the future.

Hi there, as I was driving, listening to the radio, a song came on about a snowman made of dirty snow, and the treasure he was.

That got me started on the what-if tangent trail.

Treasure, precious metals, titanium, precious metals used... titanium,
Animated figurines, high technology,

What if Frosty the Snowman was actually animated by chains of nano-bots.  They could have been part of the structure of the hat that was found, thus brining him to life when the hat was put on his head?

I'd like to pursue this as a short story sometime, maybe aim for something slightly futuristic, incorporate nature of humanity stuff, sociological assessments, etc.

Right now it's one in the morning, I'm tired as heck, and I have to get up tomorrow.

So until then, I'm off to bed.

Andre.

A Prayer

This is not my prayer, I did not come up with it.  Somebody came up with this one so long ago that it eludes my brief search.
Regardless, it's recital this morning is prudent.

Prayer to St. Michael

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

or a shorter personal version.
O'Lord lift me up, support me in my hour of need,
St. Michael please protect me from the snares of the evil in this sinful world.
Amen.
