Oh, to find an Idea
About those words…
Welcome to my blog space. Where I will bring you into my world of words. It’s a confusing place and often a bit crowded with adverbs and adjectives, but it’s as real as I can be. I won’t promise to post every day. Not even every other. Words don’t always come easy.
I started this blog posting about my book writing adventures on the Bookmaker series, and my daily wrestle with sentences. But after I got tired of things like marketing and compartmentalization and keeping my deepest thoughts private, I started writing out my heart. I’m exploring it one nook at a time with the Being who inhabits it and calls me their own. I’m exploring that Being’s heart too – whether you call that person God or Jesus or Love. That’s what you’ll find here – to the best of my ability.
