It was a pleasant surprise after refreshing my page to find out that my blog won the “Blog of the Day Award” from Blogger.com.

A crowning achievement with more to come in the future. I am still new for all intents and purposes, but I will hone and refine my site to best meet the needs of my readers. I enjoy learning how to do more with this blog and with helping people find what they need.
Thank you to all of my readers and to Blogger.com and their staff for nominating my blog. It is an honor that I truly cherish and is indicative of what’s to come.
Sincerely,
Joseph R. Mays

Print-on-demand has made a new niche of home business owners. Creating products on their computers with little to no cost and no inventory. Companies like Zazzle and Cafe Press make it easy for entrepreneurs to slip behind a keyboard, create some products and market them to the world all with a couple clicks of a mouse. I too have become one of these entrepreneurs.
I have a digital camera, write poetry and have a creative mind. I am combining all of these these things together to carve a new niche for myself. I can market my poetry and my pictures to items from mugs, T-shirts to embroidered bags.
To see my products go here.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
Yours in living life and achieving the American Dream,
Joseph R. Mays

Social Networking is all the craze these days. In reality it has been around for a while and has taken more of a mainstream stance now when it comes to advertising businesses. These networks have many amenities to offer and they vary from network to network. Some pay members to view ads. Others encourage members to share photos, videos and music. And others go even further and offer a place for people to meet new people and form business and/or personal relationships. We have created a place for you to join these social networks en masse and increase your social networking power. This allows you to get more viewers for your blog or website or more customers to buy your products.

You cannot afford to miss out on the power of social networking and it\’s impact in the world of e-commerce today. Everything from advertising to the popularity and rank of the sites themselves.
Join these social networks and increase your exposure and personal and business contacts.
Yours in social networking success,
Joseph R. Mays

After years of setbacks and negative distractions, I have finally done something I wanted to do for a long time; publish a book of poetry.
My first venture into the publishing arena is called “God is in Control“. In it you will find poems that will uplift you and caress your soul and let you know that those troubles you’re going through will not last forever. The enemy doesn’t want you to succeed, but with God you WILL succeed.

God is in Control
I hope this book meets your expectations and helps you in some way. Share it with a friend or co-worker. We all need encouragement from time to time and this resource is the perfect solution. I appreciate any and all support you can give. This will help me get past my current situation so I can provide a better life for my daughter Ashleigh. Help me so I can help many others.
Thank you and may God bless each and every one of my readers and followers.
Sincerely,
Joseph R. Mays

Most of us have now learned to live with voice mail as a necessary part of our lives. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if God decided to install voice mail? Imagine praying and hearing the following:
Thank you for calling Heaven
For English press 1
Para un Espanol mecar el dos
For all other languages press 3
Please select one of the following options:
Press 1 for request
Press 2 for thanksgiving
Press 3 for complaints
Press 4 for all others
I’m sorry, all of our Angels and Saints are busy helping other sinners right now.
However, your prayer is very important to us and we will answer it in the order it was received.
Please stay on the line.
If you would like to speak to:
God, press 1
Jesus, press 2
To the Holy Spirit, press 3
To find a loved one that has been assigned to Heaven press 4, then enter the social security number followed by the # sign. If you receive a negative response, please hang up and dial 666.
For reservations to heaven, please enter John: followed by the numbers 3:16.
For answers to nagging questions about dinosaurs, life and other planets, please wait until you arrive in heaven for specifics.
Our computer shows that you have already prayed for today, please hang up and call again tomorrow.
The office is now closed for the weekend to observe a religious holiday.
If you are calling after hours and need emergency assistance, please contact your local pastor.
Thank you and have a heavenly day.
Good-bye.
