filling my patch of sky

This is a great love of mine—crafting, polishing, nudging words and phrases to create and communicate meaningful thoughts. Mostly I write about walking through this life by faith in Jesus Christ. Some of what I’ve written has been accepted for publication; I’m still new at this, so much of what I’ve written has been in preparation for speaking engagements, classes, Bible studies, and the like. But no matter, for what I truly love is the digging in and working over of ideas. The audience I’m communicating to is always before me, whether I’m writing for a specific publication I’ll be submitting to or for a group of women I’ll be speaking to.

This blog is my writing playground; here I get to hash out some casual thoughts and ideas, some of which may be found in later articles or messages. So browse around the site to get a taste of my writing; I’ll also be posting any articles accepted for publication.
