The Grace Project
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
John 3:16
Grace is the most awe inspiring, extravagant and loving gift from God, given us
through the death of His Son Jesus Christ, free of charge. We believe the grace
of God deserves the richest portrayal we can give it; it deserves a triumphal
procession both before the
church and before the world. Using the arts as a means to express grace, the
Grace Project is looking for stories, poetry, artwork and more to be published
in an anthology entitled "A Thimble-full of
Grace."
All royalties from this anthology will be donated to World Vision. Contributors
whose submissions are selected for publication will receive a complimentary copy
of the book. The submission deadline is July 31, 2003. For full details please
visit our website at
We pray that this anthology will touch both the church and the world -especially the world – with the incredible greatness of the grace
of God

Balanced Parenting is a nonfiction anthology of stories by dual-career parents
about how they manage to "balance" parenting, their relationship and work, while
still maintaining some semblance of sanity. We are looking for true
stories focusing on the joys and frustrations of parenting while working, as
well as tips and tricks for keeping it all in balance. Stories
should be about your experiences as a dual-parent, working couple and written in
a style which is honest and open - the way you wish you could be with your
friends, family and coworkers.
We welcome submissions from working couples of all racial and socioeconomic
backgrounds, parents of both sexes and sexual orientations, married and
unmarried couples who both work by choice or necessity. Both parents can work
outside of the home, or at home, or one of each. Topics include, but aren't

Making your boss your ally as a parent

When 9 to 5 isn't: explaining overtime to your toddler, managing guilt about
too much time away, getting home at bedtime, etc.

Personal time? Couple time? Business trips: taking the kids with you or not
Kids in the office/using kids to get out of the office
Couplehood vs. parenthood: sex, togetherness and "dating" Pros & cons of
managing your household like a CEO and who's the boss?
Making new friends, keeping (or losing) old ones
Office parents vs. the stay-at-homes
Finances - spending, saving and trying to keep afloat
Is splitting the childcare workload really possible?
Nannies, grannies, baby-sitters and daycare: what it means to let someone
else "parent" your child
Playdates: If you can’t go with them, who does - nanny, grandma, etc - or do
your kids miss out
Discipline: disciplining your kids when you have limited time with them
Religious roulette: balancing or choosing between different beliefs
Racial differences: do different races and different socioeconomic classes have
different opinions on working while raising kids? Does being a mixed
couple or having adopted kids of different a race affect your ability to and/or
feelings about juggling work and parenting? Adoption: did the decision for both
of you to continue working have any effect - good or bad - on your attempt to
adopt? Balancing it all while parenting special needs kids
When kids are sick: who stays home? Who's up all
night?
Housework: cooking, cleaning, mowing the lawn - how to split the load?
Two kids or more: what are the new and different challenges?
Working and breastfeeding: how you coped
When you both have to work, who gets to have a good night’s sleep?
As your kids get older, how do things shift?
