Window on Writing: When Words Won’t Come
When the body’s weary and words won’t come take a nap take a walk snap some pictures and chew on words that nourish your writer’s heart. The line of words fingers your own heart. It invades arteries, and enters the heart on a flood of breath; it presses the moving rims of […]
Textures of Text: Because He Lives
I sat on the choir platform, and my eyes floated in pools as we sang. Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone; Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living, Just because He lives! It was our last Sunday in this church. The […]

She also told me that her probable […]

Today In the Yard
Today’s the day. The day I start working my way through God in the Yard. For the rest of me. I know L.L. will ask me to spend time outside. Daily. It all starts with the sight of a nibbled mozzarella medallion. Fascinated with the morning clouds, gray tide moving east to west, I take […]
