Welcome to this July edition, the largest edition to date! Because this is the largest 'Blog Carnival', we will keep the other comments down to a minimum. We have been working very long and hard this sumer attempting to reach the new release goals we set last spring. We have been so very blessed by God in everyway with regards to this business, you our 'Twitter followers' and customers, and with this monthly blog carnival.

Our Director has put off whether we should go to bi-monthly carnvals until fall time. However, If the carnival continues to grow or even stays where it is at this point, it looks very likely that we will begin offering bi-monthly carnival starting sometime this fall! If you are enjoying these carnivals, please take a moment and either comment below the postings or drop us a note. Sometimes we wonder what all of you are thinking and we wish we could pick up the phone and ask but that's not possible, so we must go by the comments and the notes people send in. It isn't always a good indicator either but we hope we are doing as good as what some of our competitors claim and by what the over all tone of comments and e-mails are stating.

We hope you have or are planning to enjoy the abundance of new titles this 'summer of new releases' has produced! Our Director has been pushing very hard to create or publish all these new releases like never before. That brings up another point. We have been wondering if some of you are waiting for a certain title or for a particular subject to be written about? Please drop us a note and let us know so that we can work it in and also get it produced during this summer push.

Lastly, we want to re-state as a reminder for those who have been with us awhile as well as to serve as an introduction to all our new customers, our policies and GEAP program. Without beating the already deafening and depressing 'drum beat', however, we know that times are real hard now, for most of us this is the hardest times we have ever been in before. Despite the economic claims as well as the 'end is near' crowd, Roy our Director, hasn't repeated too very often that which is plain to see around us. We all at OLIN beleive that the more you talk in public about the hard times, the more fuel you give it!

However, we want you to know that if you need a certain title for your kids, for homeschool or simply enrichment, but find you are unable to afford the price, please drop us a note and let us know. In the note give us a few idea's of what would work for you and we will make it work- we promise. For the rest of you, if you find yourself unable to afford a title we offer, let us also know and do tell us what you could afford or trade or whatever! It is not only our Christian responsibility but also our way of giving back for all our blessings. So please don't hesitate to contact us and let us know how things are going, if you need us to remember you and yours in our prayers, and/or if you are wanting some OLIN product but are unable to afford it in whole or part. We can and will help each and every one that approaches and makes us aware of their need. Roy keeps reminding us daily that the only way out of the current situation(s) is though a lot of prayer and Christians helping Christians! So that also means that if you know of someone that needs help, please do what you can in Christian charity, and then let us know and together we will figure it out, one by one! Sometimes the only thing that will work is the power of prayer. And... That's fine with us, we will pray for each and every one who needs God's helping Hand until we can't talk no more! Don't overlook the power of prayer! That reminds us that our prayer room isn't being used as much as it should. If we need to do something to it to make it more 'workable', let us know. Anyway... In closing please let us know what we can do for you and also remember us in your prayers! Don't fear folks we will get beyond these hard times! Thanks and God bless! Enjoy the blog carnival!
