I wrote the book, now what?
This morning one of my writer friends, Stephanie Carter, asked me on Facebook: “I wrote the book, now what?” So I made a video, Writers’ Christmas Wrap, answering the question and thought I’d share it here, too.

Communion: Give thanks
For the last several Sundays, I’ve been attending a new church. I’ve been part of a small group in some friends’ home for the last two years and over the summer, they took a much-needed break.

I decided to start attending a local traditional church on Sunday mornings, because... Read more »

Drinking in fall
“Autumn…the year’s last loveliest smile.”– William Cullen Bryant,Indian Summer This afternoon after my walk at the track, I was going to come home and record a podcast.

Right now, I am drinking in fall, savoring every moment of looking at the beautiful, glorious, colored leaves, God’s amazing art. I want to stop winter, stop time, and shout to the world, “Look at how... Read more »
