Everett Jenkins Birthday Blog

For over ten years now I have been a rather prolific blogger.  For most of that time, I often wondered why I should pursue posting so many minor posts in so many varied areas instead of writing more reference books such as the six that I wrote from 1996 to 2003. After all, it seemed to me that my purpose in life was to write a Rainbow of Reference Books that would have been my lasting legacy.  However, with each passing year, that purpose seemed to be a fading dream.  And, as time went by, I began to question whether I was fulfilling the purpose that seemed to have been laid out for my life. In September of 2024, I think I found the answer to my question.  I found the answer by performing a search on the Microsoft Bing search engine for "everett jenkins blogspot".  What the search engine revealed were page after page of some of the blogs that I have written over the last ten years.  Truth be told, I have written thousands of posts in that period of time....

  The main notoriety I have achieved in this life is based upon my writing.  I have written six books ( Pan-African Chronology  [three volumes],   The Muslim Diaspora  [two volumes], and   The Creation  [one volume]) which achieved some notoriety, and I have begun several blogs ( Biographies, The Muslim Compendium ,  The Quest for Truth,  Who's Who in Islam  and   Words of Wisdom )  which have garnered additional notoriety.  However, whatever notoriety I have achieved for my writing has always seemed a bit undeserved.  Truth be told, I write not for notoriety, but for God.  In the coming days, I hope to be able to elaborate on why I do this.  However, suffice it to say that every book I write and every blog I begin, begins with a tribute to God.  I can only pray that God will continue to find what I write to be an expression of God's will.
