One column often begets another

“You can have whatever you want if you believe in yourself and keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.” — A. J. McLean

Writing a weekly column becomes second nature if you do it long enough.

A topic is typically the trick. Some weeks, a thought takes off with ease. Others, you rush toward deadline, praying for air under the wings hoping something will take flight. And some I call “biblical inspirations,” like the way the Bible relates genealogy: “And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech ...” and so on for centuries.
