The deadline to enter this competition is Saturday, 31 July 2010 at 11:59PM EST.
All essays will be posted to the blog, so visitors can vote on the one they believe deserves the prize. No names or other identifying information will be shown to voters, so no one will know who an essay belongs to.
Voting will start on Sunday, 01 August 2010 at 12:00AM EST and will end on Saturday, 14 August 2010 at 11:59PM EST.
I will post the name of the winner on my blog on Sunday, 15 August 2010.

My Question of the Day: There’s a saying, and I’m paraphrasing, “It’s better to stick with the “devil” you know than to chance it with the “devil” you don’t know.” With that in mind, if you have to choose between a familiar but unpleasant situation and an unfamiliar situation that could possibly be pleasant, which would you pick?
My 2 Cents: I’d have to take the chance that I wouldn’t find a “devil” in a different situation, especially if I was certain of the “devil” in my current situation. I am not going to suffer needlessly because I’m not sure what could possibly lie ahead.
The way I see it is that if I find another “devil” in the next situation, I’ll move on to another situation until I find the peace I deserve.
