About Darlene "Dee" Bishop

Why you want to know more about me is anyone’s guess, but since you asked…

I have been a follower of Jesus Christ since October 2, 1983, when I accepted His forgiveness and allowed Him to become the Lord of my life. He is number one to me and everything I do, think or say is affected by my relationship with Christ. That includes the way I run my business, the clients I choose to work with and every relationship I enjoy.

I am a co-pastor at the Mayland the Church of the Nazarene in Crossville, Tennessee, the owner of Bishop's Corner, an online business woman, creative designer, writer and helpmate to my husband of 24 years.

I love being self-employeed and working online. It provides me the luxury of devoting time to ministry while helping my overworked husband (a minister in his own right) to support us financially.

My Websites include...

499Christians.com, where pastors, churches, evangelists, Sunday School teachers, youth leaders and all Christians can successfully reach the world online with an affordable word cloud ad.

500Wahms.com, offering the same great, low-cost advertising for work-at-home-moms (WAHMS).

Bishop's Corner - Quality gifts, home decor, toys, jewelry and accessories, housewares, bath and body, men's gifts, furniture and much more. Free shipping on qualifying orders, convenient layaway plan, fundraising program and free business opportunity. Drop by today!

DarleneBishop.com, which serves as a gateway to all that I do.

Christian Site Solutions, from which I provide common sense Website design and outreach solutions for churches and Christian ministries who want to use the Internet to reach the world for Jesus.

I Love Barter!, my totally free barter and trade site offering free listings of haves and wants along with helpful resources for those who value this age-old system of commerce. Started this one because... you guessed it! - I LOVE barter!!

Sensible Site Solutions, the same common sense Website solutions for WAHMs.

WAH (Work-at-Home) Link Exchange is a group link exchange program offering those who work at home a whole bunch of free link swaps in one location along with homebased business tips and resources galore!

My writing background includes articles for newspapers, magazines and online publications, press releases, newsletters, Website content and much, much more. A number of my short pieces have been published in various print publications, including Woman's Day, Business Today, Penny Press, and Dell. I typically focus on writing for business owners, however, rather than for publication.

In 1998 I formed what became a very successful writing and editorial services company, Copeland & Lane, under the auspices of WriteBusiness.com. When the workload became too great for one person to handle, I worked with contractors for awhile, but I was never satisfied with that arrangement.

So a few years later I sold the business to an online competitor (who has since shut down the site) and went back to a “real” job. I thought I'd find time to do some freelancing for publication but that never happened. And after battling for my sanity for nearly two years, I cried, “I've Had Enough!” and ran screaming back to my home office. I'm here to stay.

Today, I work alone and plan to keep it that way. I have no desire or intention of growing the business beyond what I can handle by myself, which leaves me time for Christian ministry and a life offline.

Please visit my portfolio or read some of my articles if you'd like to see samples of my work. Then contact me if you think I may be the creative designer or writer you're looking for. And if you need to talk to a minister, I'm here for that, too!

Look forward to working with you in the future... God bless!
