Vlog on Interruptions: Cause I Didn’t Have Time to Write
So I’ve been wanting to do more vlogs and since I missed my post this morning, here is a two-take impromptu encouragement from a VERY EXHAUSTED me. And honestly, I think I was talking TO MYSELF more than anyone else out there! So what do you think? To Vlog or not to Vlog more often?…
Is it Important to Know the Future?
It was a Sunday morning of my writing weekend. I had just finished a rather good word count and went back and forth about debating whether or not to miss my church’s new series on Jesus, but figured I could catch it on the web. So I flipped through the channels of the hotel television,…
Empty My Hands
Our family is in an odd spot. We’re between normals, if “normal” ever actually exists for us. As we leave one stage and embark on the next, I have no idea how my days will form. What will they include? Which path will they take? As it is now, I’m impatient to get this over…
Look Up and Enjoy My Present
“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!

Studying Emotions in Life & Writing Through Friendly Fire
I woke in the middle of the night to the rooster crowing at the moon. Strange but true. Poor pea brained birds don’t know the difference between the moon, a bright light bulb or the sun! Later, and still before the sun had risen, I woke again to the sound of a single gun shot.…
The Vulnerability of the Writer
By Brandy Bruce I was having dinner with a few friends the other night and we were talking about blogging, and I realized something: Being a writer can be scary. We were talking about the times we’ve written blog posts and then deleted them because we were so worried about what readers would think. One…
Are You Weary in the Waiting?
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV It seems that if a writer isn’t writing, then she’s waiting… Waiting to get edits back from a critique partner.Waiting to hear from…
Getting Picked Last
by Ed Gungor When I was a kid, I had a pretty stiff case of childhood asthma. I couldn’t run much, and because my dad was a Turkish immigrant and never played baseball or football, he never coached me to hone my skills in those regards (they still remain latent to this day). Consequently, I…
Need Stress Relief? Look Up!
My grandkids and I have been busy with all kinds of science fun this month – from one grandchild’s science fair projects to another’s computer lessons that are part of his Christian home schooling program. Much of it has been fun. Working with them as much as I do, I often learn new things myself…
