Bookmarks for Hiking Tennessee

I’ve worked with more than a few publishers over the years, but this is the first time I’ve had a publisher create bookmarks to help advertise one of my books. Thanks, Human Kinetics!

In September, I will distribute them at local bookstores where they may be picked up for free (although hopefully I will sell a book or two).

And, if you know someplace that would like to set out a few, please let me know.

Christianity, Devil's Beatitudes

Something wicked this way comes

Something wicked this way comes

The Devil’s Beatitudes 

Blessed are those who are too tired, busy or disorganized to meet with fellow Christians on Sundays each week. Their hearts are not in it.

Blessed are those who enjoy noticing the mannerisms of clergy and choir. Their hearts are not in it.

Blessed are those Christians who wait to be asked and expect to be thanked. I can use them.

Blessed are the touchy. With a bit of luck they may even stop going to Church. They are my missionaries.

Blessed are those who claim to love God at the same time as hating other people. They are mine forever.

Blessed are the trouble-makers. They shall be called my children.

Blessed are those who have no time to pray. They are easy prey for me.

Blessed are you when you read this and think it is about other people and not about yourself.

Nevermore

This week I began what I hope will be a continuing project photographing the raven, Nevermore, in cemeteries in the United States and around the world. Naturally, I began with my favorite cemetery, Bonaventure, here in Savannah as I have been shooting pictures there for more than thirty years. I also shot some photos at Laurel Grove Cemetery, also here in Savannah, on a rainy Saturday. Below are a couple of samples from those shoots.

Also, I had to add the following two photos because this happened during the shoot at Bonaventure–perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime experience:

Spring camping at Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park.

Spring camping at Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park.

A new hike is available at my website. This is also a short hike–2.5 miles–but is on the opposite side of the state from the previous hike along the Appalachian Trail to Jane Bald. This hike is located in Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park, which borders on the Mississippi River.

I described another hike in this park, the 3-mile Woodland Trail, in my book, Hiking Tennessee. 

You can read more about the hike to the Pioneer Springs Trail Shelter at my website here.
