“Surprise, Mrs. Thomas, the test is positive”. “What test?, the young mom begs for an answer. “You're pregnant.” The inspiring peace in his eyes makes you realize you're supposed to be happy about this moment but then you look at your husband. You are both terrified. “Now it's just not a stomach bug, I'm even more sick to my stomach. It's the gut-wrenching realization that you may not live much longer. We had decided four years ago that we couldn't do this again. We barely made it out alive with the first baby. Between being born too early and momma almost dying, it would be too dangerous and selfish to bring another life into this world, but God has another plan. Four months later, everything is going fine, we have a name picked out, bedroom painted pink and a plan to not leave my first baby without a mom. Then karma kicks in and kicks me straight to the ground, literally. While wearing three inch heels in a church parking lot, I loose balance trying to protect one baby from oncoming traffic that I forget, there is a baby in my belly that needs protection too. While I'm on the ground I rip my heel off of my foot and realize that my ankle is obviously broken, deformed and dangling off my leg. I'm rushed to the hospital and doctors have to look at the dusty medical books to see what medication can be given to a pregnant woman. The baby in my belly is still alive but my leg won't be much longer if it's not fixed quickly. The next week is full of terror as I have to make the choice to have a big surgery to save my leg, my lifestyle, my peace. I know it's not good to take pain medication or have x-rays while pregnant but I don't have an option. Either pins, plates and screws, or amputation. I think I make the right decision until the guilt connects the understanding two years later. The baby and I both make it through delivery, learning to walk, learning to eat, learning to pee in the potty but then our world is turned upside down. On a random night, her dad looks at her and asks “why is your nose swollen?” In the few words that she has found over the past two year, she explains; “it's a jewel.” “Like one of these plastic ones?” he asks holding up a shimmery plastic gem. Antibiotics, scans, biopsies and several months later, I get the call no parent can prepare for. “Hi I'm looking for the parents of Birdie?” “Yes I'm her mother”, I say with fear chocking me, stealing my breathe . “Mrs. Thomas, Birdie has cancer” the doctor has tear rearing up in his eyes that you can hear running down his nose through the phone. My mind went blank as soon as I hear the “c-word”, I know he told me more details but I can't hear them. Momma is already in fight mode. I have to fight to save this baby that God gave me when doctors say I couldn't have anymore. I know there is a grand plan for her, but I have to help get her there. “We need to get you in for an immediate PET scan and biopsies,” the oncology team details the treatment plan. A year of chemotherapy, thirty days of radiation and a surgery to remove the entire tumor. Halfway through chemo, it's time to cut the monster out of her face. We know that Rhabdomyosarcoma has little fingers that invade every part of her little face but the doctors are on the same page as us. “We will need to cut it all out, leave a hole in her face and probably take more of her face off until we get clear margins,' the surgeon tells me. “I'm not here to make her look pretty, I'm here to help save her life.” This surgeon is why we chose to get treatment here instead of the world-renowned hospital next door. I know that this is going to be harsh. My little baby has half her face ripped off by a scalpel, in a desperate attempt to save her life. The beeps, lights and constant heart-pounding fear cripples my mind, destroys my faith and paralyzes my understanding. My baby is on life support, I was not prepared for this. I can't protect her from any of this, I'm the one helping the nurses hold her down while she's poked and prodded. The next six months, is a blur. Doctor appointment, infusion day, radiation day and still working a full-time job, somehow doesn't break me. Two years later, my baby is still alive, her face is deformed but the only thing that matter, she does not have cancer anymore. She may not be able to breathe through her nose, may have random aches and pains, my not be able to have adult teeth or a baby of her own, but she's alive. As I try to explain that we're still fighting the effects of the horrific treatment, all of the other kids that started this journey with us, have pass on. “Momma, I'm just lucky” she says through eyes that have seen more than I ever will. “I know baby, everyone has been praying for us” I say with conviction in my heart. We may never know positively if that broken ankle is what did this to her, but I will fight until my dying breath to help her through it. We're paving the way for those that come behind us.

Looking back over the last year, 2020 might have been an awful year for a lot of Earth's population, but for a writer, quarantine was paradise. I completed almost 150,000 words in 5 different novels and/or novellas. Counting up the progress during January left me in awe of my own work ethic. The Quade family series is on its way with the second book in the series complete. The third book, about Alanna Quade is in the planning stages with one or two chapters already in the draft. Not in the correct order, but hey inspiration shall not be stifled because it came out of sequence. Stand alone novel Unexpected Complications is nearing completion with only the final arc to write. The Promises Series is through the second book as well. I'm looking at a major rewrite of the first book. Reader's suggestions have given me the strength to tear into my very first attempt at a novel. Considering it was written almost thirty five years ago, I think it deserves the help. I've become so much more than I was then. I have more than a dozen short stories in an Anthology called Hibernation dreams and looking at what I've accomplished on Reedsy.com https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/author/karin-venables/ I have 16 short stories posted there, some of which made the front page as great examples for the prompt chosen. You can find me on inkitt.com https://www.inkitt.com/knottyknitter You can find me on Wattpad. com https://www.wattpad.com/user/uschibear and on Tapas.io https://tapas.io/buggeredhip I've got my stories posted on these sites to promote beta reading. I'm hoping to self publish through one of several service available to the independent author. With luck you'll see my books available on Kindle and Kobo by the end of the year. So there you have it. My hope is 2021 is as productive. Keep on writing.

Take the Ten Commandment Challenge. Jesus had a way of calling people names without them knowing it. There are several passages in the Gospels where Jesus tells people that it is foolishness to gain the whole world and still neglect one's soul, losing one's soul to hellfire, rejecting the Gospel message. Money rhymes with dummy. Do you want to be the dummy with all the money?

Why did Jesus die so horribly? All have sinned, except Jesus. To God all mortals are worthy of the punishment for sin. Jesus is alive, and only He can forgive sin. Jesus is always faithful and just to forgive us of our sins when we ask Him for forgiveness, but we still need to know what we did wrong before asking. Without the awareness of sin, there is no forgiveness of sin. If a Christian cannot recite all Ten Commandments from memory, then how can a Christian live by God's grace in holiness, being ready for eternity? How can a Christian be ready for eternity without knowing repentance, forgiveness, and living by faith? How can one ask for the forgiveness of sin and repent of sin while ignorant/forgetful of sin? If a Christian does not know what sin is, then a Christian does not know why Jesus suffered and died.

Would you like to know how I can stretch 317 words on a grocery list of words on two stone tablets that God wrote Himself? I tell you that I can stretch 317 words into a 450 page book. Would you like to read the first half of that book for free? Specifics mean a lot to me. hello. Nice to meet and talk to you here at Bio Page. My email address is douglasmarmion@hotmail.com. I am the amateur, self-published, first-time author of an expository Bible commentary called, The Floating Day: Revisiting Why Christians Must Master All Ten Of The Ten Commandments Before Christ's Soon Return, Vol. 1. Christians of adult working age, ethnic origin, socioeconomic status, gender, and denominational affiliation constitute my target audience. I wish to reach working class Christians. I emphasize that you are my target audience. I start with the fourth commandment, which is the basis for seven, Sabbath versions revealed throughout the Bible, how, and why the Sabbath versions fit into the Christian world view today and forever. I have chosen as my general topic the Ten Commandments. I remain focused on the Sabbath of the Ten Commandments throughout the book. I cannot emphasize enough how the Sabbath is God's training plan for an eternity of government service for His future, immortal children. I would not expect anyone with a poor work ethic and poor study-skills to show interest in my writings. My work out-competes Kevin DeYoung and J.I. Packer. My work should reach those with a high school education and above. The genre of the book is non-fiction, religious, academic, reflective. My motive is to exhort readers to holiness, to repentance, before Christ's soon return. My work is unique with the fresh perspective that I bring to the table from the working-class. I have an author webpage at Facebook.com/ douglas. marmion with currently over 500 followers. That is more than most small churches. With your help, I intend to market through television, radio, magazines, conferences, book tours, personal networks, all electronic social media, t-shirts, banners, posters, yard signs, and billboards. My work will change lives. Christians cannot present themselves before the Lord in eternity while harboring iniquity and unforgiveness in their hearts, forgetting the most important grocery list of words in the universe. Believers cannot serve the Lord with sin and unforgiveness in their lives. There is a minimum standard for holiness in God's kingdom. The Ten Commandments acknowledge that, if God were not the God of fulfilled promises, the Sabbath, grace, the come-back victory, and law/order, then there would not be a written medium to commemorate anything that God has said and done, although the memorized medium of God's words traveled and updated for 2644 years after God created Adam and Eve until Mt. Sinai (Exo. 20:1). If you use my email address with the subject heading of "My New Bio Page friend", I will attach a free copy of the first half of my book when I return your message. There are no strings attached, no pressure to buy anything. This book will change your life, guaranteed, or I will refund your money 100% if you decide to purchase the remainder of my book online at amazon.com.

Sometimes a person faces a challenge alone with plenty of preparation. Thusly comes commandment four in Exo. 20:8—11: “Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.” The Sabbath is God's training plan for eternity, for the challenges of the mortal and immortal life, and believers may practice the Sabbath independently of mortal mentors. There are common win-or-lose challenges in the mortal life. One situation is where an adult person loses control of his or her bodily functions and may get injured. I could use as examples emotional outbreaks (such as tantrums, grandstanding, crying in fear, desire, sadness, and/or anger) or mental breakdowns and severe (extremely uncontrollable) mood swings; loss of focus while driving or working, physical breakdowns such as heart attacks, seizures; aneurisms; strokes; vomiting; fainting; sweating; shivering; defecating (or diarrhea); bedwetting (urination); falling to the ground (stumbling, tripping) unpredictably, uncontrollably, itches; and fight/flight responses as reflex reactions. Victory would be to maintain control and normal bodily function in the face of adversity, such as Covid-19 or old age, or regain normal bodily function without anyone else's help after losing control. Defeat would be to lose control of normal bodily function and require help to regain control. This above-written list is only a small sample of common challenges of the mortal life. The challenge could be worse if one loses control of normal bodily function without anyone to help regain control when the same person needs and seeks help. Help may not be conveniently available for regaining control of normal bodily function. What happens when adults cannot rely on others to help when needed? Instances may occur again over a person's adolescent and adult lifetime for losing control, and, in this case, such a person would need to get help unless he or she is not also incapacitated at the time. One may not have the convenience of a nearby hospital, pharmacy, retail outlet, gas station, rest room, emergency clinic, or convalescent center handy when the need for help with regaining control happens (and a change/wash of clothes). One may not have the convenience of proper comfort and care nearby when the need arises. Help from other mortals is not always there when the need for help arises, when the need for knowledge, skill, wisdom, and material resources (comfort, food, shelter, clothes, sanitation, medicine, medical and preventive care, money, transportation, etc., etc.) becomes realized. Mortals cannot always expect other mortals to hear and respond to the cry for help. As examples, there are drowning victims, or shipwrecked passengers, chronic unemployment from the Covid-19 pandemic, and stranded victims of car accidents. Hopefully, either there is someone mortal to intervene, or God must intervene. Sometimes, the challenge demands that only God can intervene. There are always challenges where only God can intervene to save the day and applies to the basic lessons of the Christian faith. My first metaphor is about living and learning as a Christian despite unexpected emergencies, despite the propensity of the flesh to sin, ignorantly or otherwise. My first metaphor is about living by faith in God's grace and by God's commandments with the challenges and temptations of the mortal life, emergencies or not. All mortal believers occasionally neglect to remember and apply their basic, first lessons in the faith (i.e. the Ten Commandments) until after stumbling into sin and temptation again. Therefore, a mortal believer may occasionally soil him or herself with sin when heavily burdened with the cares of the mortal life. Who would help a believer to recover to his or her feet in the struggle of life against sin? How would such a believer find grace and rejoin the race? The struggle with sin, ignorance, forgetfulness, and the temptation to sin for the believer continues ongoing during mortal life until the flesh perishes from earth. A Christian cannot ever afford to forget his or her first, basic lessons about sin and forgiveness, about God's laws and grace, especially if no one else (no one mortal) cares nor is available to help with recovery. Any stumbling Christian, just as a newborn infant or elderly, deteriorating person, must learn to fend for him or herself against sin and Satan throughout mortal life when no one mortal is available to help. Christians must learn to maintain themselves, get back into the competition against the flesh and Satan, and live penitently always. My first metaphor helps my readers to understand how sin and temptation are a constant struggle in the mortal life. No mortal nor holy angel is exempt from the temptation to sin. Suffering the temptation to sin while struggling with adversity is the demand of the mortal life, and God makes the provision of training His children for eternity with the fourth commandment.
