ACFW follow-up from Rocking Chair Ridge
It just occurred to me that I never posted a follow-up to the ACFW conference. It isn’t that there’s nothing to post. It’s that there aren’t enough hours in the day. I came away from ACFW with a different perspective on my writing. It’s not that my writing suddenly changed, but that God used some [...]
And there’s the pitch!
That phrase brings to mind the thousands of baseball games I’ve heard on the radio over the years. I think that all the guys who do MLB play-by-play must have attended the same broadcasting school, because they all seem to say the exact same line the exact same way every time the pitcher launches the [...]
And Then There Were Three
An incredibly encouraging sign appeared in my kitchen this morning. It was something I haven’t seen in a while, a phenomenon that spoke to me loud and clear about God’s grace and His passion for “healing the broken hearted and bandaging their wounds.” (Psalm 147:2) As I doctored my coffee, Wookie asked for–in her usual [...]
Still Rockin’ . . . But, it’s been an “interesting” week.

I’m here for the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian [...]
Reflections on Sandy Cove 2006
It’s been a little over a week since I returned from the 2006 Sandy Cove Writers Conference. I’ve finally decompressed a bit, paid my “vacation tax” at the radio stations (or at least made a some substantial payments), and have caught up on my rejection letters and current writing projects (or at least as caught [...]
Cingular 3G in Philly, but I miss Sandy Cove.
I’m writing from gate E1 at the Philadelphia International Airport. There’s a lovely WiFi signal here, and it’s free in a few hotspots on concourses B abd C. However, it’s eight bucks a day here in concourse E, and I’m just too cheap for that. Cingular 3G to the rescue! I’m getting a great 3G signal here, [...]
