I’m Still Here

I’ve been a bit absent from this blog of late. I only posted three times in 2022 and this is my first post of 2023. Where have I been? Why haven’t I posted? Well, I’ve been busy writing things for other publications, writing my monthly...

Melancholy Me Talks to God

I’m in California at a writers retreat. I’m learning so much and hanging out with a few other wonderful writers. And yet, this is what I wrote last night after our first session. Why so downcast, Oh my soul? I understand the psalmist’s plea. Here...

Poetry for Healing

This is just a quick post to share that I have had two poems published in the Antelier of Healing. My poems are in chapter 4, but this lovely online anthology has many more poems about trauma and recovery. These poems are a great example...

Never Give Up!

Thoughts on “Am I Proud?”

Another week and another C.S. Lewis quote to ponder. This one is from one of my favorite Lewis classics Mere Christianity. I confess that it took me three tries to make it all the way through this thought-provoking book, but it was worth the effort....

The Beginning and End of Lenten Disciplines

Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, which is a period of 40 days (not counting Sundays) until Easter. Traditionally, Christians (as least in the liturgical denominations) have given up something for Lent to participate in and better understand the sacrifice of our Lord....

Paint Chip Poetry Prompts

On a recent trip to Hawaii, I picked up this game called Paint Chip Poetry: A Game of Color and Wordplay. I wasn’t sure what I’d do with it, but I couldn’t resist the purchase, even though I don’t really have anyone to play it...

God’s Plan, My Steps

I had a plan for my coaching class at a recent writers’ conference. The safe route would be best. I determined to share the first chapter of my current work in progress, a nonfiction Christian living book about living without regret. But when I opened...

The Detour Dilemma

I’m looking at a weird detour sign in my writing life. Not sure if it’s a detour worth taking, or one I should just ignore. It might even really be a caution sign. I’m not sure. I write memoir, nonfiction, devotional-type essays, and poetry (which...
