Article submissions for consideration to be posted on this Web site are welcome. Just please note the following guidelines:

Read over the articles on this site. They will give you an idea of the kind of articles published and the format generally used. To make a submission, if the article is less than 30 KB, e-mail it to me as a regular e-mail message in "text only" format. See Contact Information for my e-mail address. If the article is 30 KB or larger or if you want to send it in a format other than text only, please contact me first for directions on how to send it to me as an attached file. Do NOT send it the address on the aforementioned page.

There is no financial remuneration for published articles; they will be considered to be a "donation" to this ministry. And I reserve the right to use or refuse articles and to edit them as I deem necessary. If significant changes are made I will run the revised article by you before publishing it.

Your name will appear in a "by-line" under the title of the article, and your e-mail address will be added to the Contact Information page so readers can direct comments on the article to you directly.
