Here’s the dealio yo. My happy Activated mag compliation assignment this year was the Father’s Day issue for 2009 and you would be surprised at how little material there is in our literature on fathers. Mother articles abound, the love of my mother, the mother’s love for her child, how my mother is the best mother ever, how to be a better mother, the mothers role in shaping the future of our hope of the future and on and on it goes but writings on fathers and all things related is, yeah….not really happening so much.

So if you a.) can write at all and b.) have a father, help a fellow out and feel free to send me an article on anything related to fatherhood. Dig deep into your childhood and pull out those wonderful memories on how your father helped shape your life or if you are a father, write about how awesome it is or if you’re a mother, write about how your husband is such a wonderful father etc. etc. I need any articles by August 31 and send them to jkvern@yahoo.com and you’ll most likely find yourself a published author with work featured in the magazine that is changing the world one heart at a time. Not to mention you’ll be Jules’ hero of the day, possibly even the whole week.

And don’t be one of those people that thinks “Ah, surely someone else will help Jules out in her hour of need. I don’t need to be the one to send in my article.” What if Matthew, Mark, Luke or John had decided not to write a gospel because the other guy was already doing it? Also, if you come across good Word on fathering or parenting, also feel free to send that my way. Amen?
