Absorbing God Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” Proverbs 11:25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applying God\u2019s Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve read some great books\/stories and consider writers to be incredibly generous. I don’t say that to pat myself on the back. I may not be as generous as some writers, but I do try to write stories that refresh folks. Here are some quotes from writers about writing. :>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple.” Tom Clancy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.” Robert Frost                                                    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything.” Mark Twain                        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” Henry Thoreau<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Tears are words that need to be written.” Paulo Coelho                                                          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“To survive, you must tell stories.” Umberto Eco <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obstacles I’ve faced in writing are laziness, complacency, time, fear, rejection, judgement, sickness, writers block, frustration, loss of a loved one, personal challenges, work related issues, poor self-worth, life and entitlement, to mention a few. I have been able to push through those obstacles by God’s grace and by the power of His Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
