This past summer, I attended a writer’s conference which emphasized the benefits of blogging because you capture a story, idea, or thought as it happens. (Dale was so happy to hear that he was right.) They termed it banking your writing ( a new way of saying: keeping a journal). Later, you rework the writing for a specific purpose: devotional, teaching, article, book. “Book” was too overwhelming to me, so I started with “devotional.” With my mom and many others praying for me, I hope one day “book” may be possible.

For now, I am focused on blogging and devotionals during my writing time. Hopefully, I will not fall off the wagon again. It gives me great joy to know my writing has made someone laugh, ponder, or pray. I thank you for reading and I sincerely appreciate your encouragement and prayers.
