I was in the children’s room at the local library today and saw a huge book that was open to Walt Whitman’s, “O Captain, My Captain” with photos of Abraham Lincoln. I love Dead Poet’s Society, but realized I had never read that poem. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My eyes were wet by the time […]

Great post from Writer’s Unbloxed blog by Lydia Sharp this morning. Makes me think of my daughter and how she feels when I go for an extended stay to the home we share. http://writerunboxed.com/2013/06/09/everything-i-thneed-to-know-about-writing-and-publishing-i-learned-from-the-lorax/

I have spent some time this morning deciding with reflection to share, and have chosen Psalm 22. Initially, I didn’t want to use one that exposed my feelings of distress, but then thought deeper. The opening line exposes the distress of one of the most famous kings ever, one who God deeply loved. That opening […]

Going to the church I grew up in tomorrow to read at least one selection from my book. I am quite nervous. I am taking a few copies to sell just in case anyone is interested. If nothing else, my mother might be proud. 🙂 Ran into several City High students in the last few […]
