I’m glad you’ve arrived to this point in the world of creativity. Tour around this site and see information about my writing and speaking and a special page for youth who enjoy writing. I also can help you with questions about writing and am open to suggestions from you. I am looking forward to a creative explosion, igniting a fireworks display of words.
We have two different blogs. My blog is about the world of writing and connections to other creative arts. It will be updated every Wednesday, or more often if I find something special. The Young Writers Blog will explore the world of young people who like to write.
I have recently started a new blog, my Bible Blog, where I will be recording thoughts and ideas as I find them during my Bible study.
Watch for my novel, being published sometime soon. More information will be here when I have it.

My daily Bible
A few years ago, the Lord impressed on me the project of typing the entire Bible. It was a special time in my life because as I worked on that project, I was forced to focus on every word and I learned more about the scriptures I had read many times. Recently, I felt the Lord once again telling me to type the Bible, but this time with a different twist. I am instructed to write the thoughts, commentaries, questions, prayers, etc. that come into my mind as I type the verse. The very human portion of my brain panicked and I started asking how this could be possible. First of all, there are over 31,000 verses in the Bible. It will take be forever. Second, what would I be able to write about for verses like the “begats” and all the counting (ie. the book of Numbers)? Humanly, this project is impossible.
But I worship a gracious God whom I am trusting to deal with my panic and to show me what He wants to me to learn.
At first I thought this project was strictly for my own learning, but I started feeling His nudging to put it into a blog. Panic started setting in again as I considered my lack of knowledge, my potential for error, and my vulnerability. Opps, this isn’t about me – it’s about the Lord. The nudging became shoving and He enlisted the aid of some of my friends to push me along the way.
Therefore, after a short season of arguing with Him – I don’t know why I bother to do that because He always wins – I am starting this blog of my thoughts as I go through His Holy Scriptures. I don’t pretend to have the background to for a scholarly interpretation of the Bible. This is simply the thoughts of my heart. I invite you to join me on this journey as I share my insights during my discussions with God. Please click here to start reading.
