I've got to come up with something better than "Another Publishing Triumph"

Again, this link is a month old. Yet, I have to say I'm quite proud of this piece and feel the faint rumblings (or is that simply gas?) of a book. Time will tattle, I suppose. Anyway, tell me what you think of this piece. Subscribe to Stand Magazine while you're at it.

Congrats, Scot! Stand looks interesting. I'm not exactly their demographic, but I might get a subscription for my husband. :) I believe Dwayne attended HTOC, near the time of my conversion.
