I’m back! Well, I’ve not really been gone although it feels that way. For the past month I’ve spent more time in my garden than in my office except for the week when I had to work on our 2013 taxes. PTL I got them done several hours before the October 15 deadline.
It’s been a good month of catching up on stuff I can’t do during conference season. I still have more catching up to do (will any of us ever really be caught up?), but it’s time to get to work planning next year’s conferences. There’s a book to be written that Father is placing on my heart, and there is the ongoing need to prayerfully address the issues and to “write His answer.”
For now, let me encourage you to do several things.
- Go to the polls tomorrow having studied where the candidates stand on the issues. A helpful non-partisan tool is http://www.ontheissues.org/default.htm. Join me in praying for the election of godly men and women.
- With Christmas fast-approaching (it’s only 7-1/2 weeks away!) ask Father how you can keep Christ in Christmas through His gift of words. Perhaps He will lead you to post Scriptures on Facebook throughout Advent or to do as my friend, Cindy Watkins, is doing in November with a daily “thank You” post. Or perhaps Father will lead you to compile a booklet of poems and short stories as a gift for loved ones. And do be aware of what’s happening in the world around you especially as it pertains to man’s attempt to remove Christ from Christmas. Ask Father for wise words to present biblical truth.
- Put the dates for the 2015 conferences on your calendar now and pray for me as I begin planning. The Colorado Christian Writers Conference is May 13-16; Philly is July 29 – August 1.
God bless you as you seek to write and to live His answer.
