Hello again Reader!
Great News! We are in the final stretch for the rewrite of Vega's Story: Me, Myself, and IT. I can see the end of the tunnel.
TIE-Breaker for...
The CrossFall Theme Song Tournament!
Our second round of songs is about to close, but we need 2 more people to vote to break a tie. ✌️
Click below if you haven't chosen your favorite song. These are more 'film quality' cinematic versions of the song.
Plus, they're just cool to listen to!!
Here are the lyrics for my song:
Light a candle, chase away the night,
Sing a song, and darkness will be light.
Whisper hope, everything’s all right
Whisper hope, everything’s all right.
When darkness comes
It's all around
You think you've lost
No way in sight
Hope abounds
Hope returns
Hope is near
Right at your side
Hope it speaks
Hope it sings
Hope it echoes
Deep calls to deep
Light a candle, chase away the night,
Sing a song, and darkness will be light.
Whisper hope, everything’s all right
Whisper hope, everything’s all right.
In light of this, CrossFall merges with this song within this Bible verse: We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:3-5

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Sound of the Sirens Yesterday our family went on an Odyssey cruise. As you most likely know, I live in Izmir Turkey, and we live about 30 minutes away from the islands that gave both Odysseus and St. Paul all sorts of trouble. We cruised on a large tour boat, sailing around from sea cove to sea cove, where we dove in and swam in the Aegean sea. Sigh. So refreshing here mid-summer! One of our stops were the Siren Rocks....
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories When to Quit. Vera Morales (from the Return to Me book 2) reminds me that it's easy to give up. Even when we have a great vision for what we want for our lives, sometimes we reach the tipping point where throwing in the towel seems so much more preferable. But in Vera's Story, though she's an optimist, life situations just gets to be too much for her. Some countries encourage suicide in hopeless situations. There's a case...
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Hey there Reader-- I use and heartily recommend the M'Cheyne Bible reading plan. This morning I read a life-changing passage in Mark 7:23-30. Phoenicians, Dogs, & the Character of God The story takes place in Tyre. Jesus is brought into a house secretly to give him a bit of a pause amidst all the crowds. But the word is spread, and a young mother discovers that he has come. She rushes in and falls at his feet. The woman...
