Hello everyone! What a beautiful day it is, here in good old South Dakota. I just got back from an interview at KOTA radio promoting the book “Immortal Lost” and I believe I did okay. However, you never really know how well you do until you hear the feedback. So if you did get an opportunity to hear the broadcast please let me know what you thought. I am always looking to improve on myself as well as the publicity for the series, “Prime Immortals.”
So, enough about that. Let’s get busy with the next word of the day. Today’s word is conviction. It was submitted by Dr. Larry Lytle, he would like to know my definition of the word and how it makes me feel.
So as always the following is the definition that I retrieved from an online source. www.thefreedictionary.com defines conviction as follows.
con·vic·tion (kn-vkshn)
n.
1. Law
a. The judgment of a jury or judge that a person is guilty of a crime as charged.
b. The state of being found or proved guilty: evidence that led to the suspect's conviction.
2.
a. The act or process of convincing.
b. The state of being convinced. See Synonyms at certainty.
3. A fixed or strong belief. See Synonyms at opinion.
So now that we have the definition, let’s get to what we really see in the word. I once saw a poster that had a beautiful picture of an old oak tree. Below the picture of the Oak tree was the word conviction in bold lettering. Below the word Conviction was the statement “Every great oak tree started out as a couple of nuts who stood their ground.” Now that is what I call conviction! What a great way to describe that word and funny too.
Conviction is something that I have always had when it comes to my family and work. In the book “Immortal Lost”, Gelmir too has great conviction. Read about him and his journey through the series of Prime Immortals.
