I might add that, although I want to evoke something in my reader, I still seek God's leading in the <em>ways </em> I write. Not all writers are called to the same expressions, and I can appreciate that as well. ~~~ Jeff, thanks for stopping by. I SO agree. I don't see how we could possibly stop learning, no matter our age, no matter the topic. I appreciated your tribute to your father at your blog. ~~~ Shelley, glad you're enjoying the posts. I have much planned...hope you'll come again. ~~~ Robin, that was ststely beautifully. I agree totally. Thanks for visiting! Diane, thanks so much.

Whether writing or dealing with our family or doing the dishes or taking a nature walk, we simply must reflect God's grace and glory. You never know whom you will touch with how you handle every aspect of your life, from the grand to the mundane. Yes, our life’s purpose must be lived out no matter what we are doing.

One of the wisest men I've ever known (like my dad, now deceased--in fact, he died around the same time as my dad) once said "If ever we cease to learn, then we are dead." Nice thoughts.

Yes! We need this reminder to maintain our faithfulness; for when you write the truth--there are often stumbling stones that trip us up. I have several Jewish friends who love me but resent my truth. I cannot water down the truth to avoid offense--so I tip-toe around it sometimes to prevent misunderstandings. And yet, your reminder is significant--tip-toeing around the truth is like not speaking it at all. What a challenge! "To write something to evoke my reader"--this may just be posted and placed on my computer screen. :) Diane Thank you for this post–”The majesty of truth!” Yes!
