How I Write.

I want to explain how I write. My writing is just an attempt to put down my thoughts and feelings in a God centered way. To write by the help of the Spirit not by human wisdom.
Paul the apostle said that he came not with wise or persuasive words. He made a conscience effort to not be wise and persuasive--that is rather foreign to our modern Christian landscape! We are taught at colleges and seminaries how to speak and write properly. It is my belief that much of what we call "proper" writing in Christian works is indeed wise and persuasive. We tend to take our idea of what is proper from the secular world and drag it into Christianity.  Compare the writings of Paul to modern Christian works sometime. We need less literary works and more flows of Spirit filled grace.
So my writing is as my speech---flawed. It is safe to say that I could never be a published Christian writer because I would want no editing. Plus I could never charge people for a Christian writing. [But that is another subject.]                     

So now I have prepared you for my lack of polish.

New Blog

Well, I am trying the blog thing again. I had one once before but couldn't find the motivation to keep it going. With this blog I am gonna try to post life happenings and articles about Jesus. Jesus is the author of our lives. When I say "our" lives I am referring to my family and I.

My wife Marcie has been with me every step of the way. It is great to have someone with you through all the trials and triumphs.
Plus I have been blessed with two great daughters, Marelle and Mina, who are always there as well. They are very smart spiritually and mentally.

Together we are a family of dependents.
