Some of you are probably heading to the ACFW conference in Indianapolis. (Father, thank You for all You have done and are doing through ACFW’s ministry. Bless this year’s conference in Ephesians 3:20 ways.)
For those who don’t write fiction or who do but are unable to go, here are some other opportunities for you this fall.
September 19 – Greater Philly Christian Writers Fellowship begins our 31st year of ministry. We are now meeting in my Lansdale home about five minutes from the Lansdale exit of the NE ext. of the PA Turnpike. We will meet monthly from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm.

Father, You know how quickly fall becomes packed with so much to do. In the midst of all our busyness please teach us to be still and to listen for Your direction. Show us how to fit writing Your answer into our hectic lifestyles. Help us to believe, to really believe, that You can use the words we write to make a difference in the lives of our readers.
