17 June 2010

I read with interest an email posted by Robert Soto at Tribes of Christ: Words From the Creator, entitled “A Special Gift from Above.” He writes:

Another “assignment” from my Penticton Writers E-group: write something based on the word “insects!” Herewith, my effort:

I’ve made all those notes for my “business” … now I feel that I must – I am compelled – to go back through them and see (and record) them in terms of You at the center – Your holiness, Your love, Your purpose.

organizing! … visits with friends … encouragement for my “Novel Under Construction” project

May 14, 2010 (Friday)

I spent a long time going through all the sites I’ve been bookmarking since I started my “new job” (self-employed, entrepreneur, writer etc) exactly two months ago.
