Having said that, there are ways to explain it but I marvel at those who accept rejection slips in good faith -- most rejected by a high school kid or college freshman working part time. There is a reason Edsel like Henry J both flopped and the lesson learned was to stop making Edsels and Henry Js. The secret is in those cars who have been successful over the years. I used to teach writing to authors, and ordinary moms and dads. I will have to post Lesson #1 one of these days and see who can solve it.<br /><br />Abe LincolnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-57783208321101796652009-09-01T07:27:30.351-07:002009-09-01T07:27:30.351-07:00my glass is all the way full-check out my blog tod...my glass is all the way full-check out my blog todayGreat Grandma Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791149428495689835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-37696324738168230732009-08-31T21:25:43.722-07:002009-08-31T21:25:43.722-07:00Thanks for the encouraging post to keep on followi...Thanks for the encouraging post to keep on following my dream.<br />DianeDiane Marie Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365346835912314686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-6787543007843063022009-08-31T18:10:51.816-07:002009-08-31T18:10:51.816-07:00My pastor is often heard to say: "Why is it ...My pastor is often heard to say: "Why is it we doubt our beliefs, and believe our doubts?
