I Think I’m in Control, But …

The characters in my books are in control. I write the characters’ lives, but if they want to go to the bar that day, I’ll write them into the bar. If they want to worship Jesus that day, that’s what we do. One character might be germophobic, as in Book 2, Rescued...

Play?

Creative play? How is that creative? How is that productive? Don’t we have books to write, art to produce, ideas to bring into the world? A livelihood to work at? We were all kids, were we not? I used to sit for hours outside in a sandpile—building roads, driving...

The End Of Things

The end. It comes at the end of a book. It comes at the end of a season. It comes at the end of a pool game. I am writing my fourteenth book. Every time I think I’m at the end, the Lord assures me to “Just Keep Writing.” What does that mean? Does it mean I can go onto...

What If It’s True?

Life has become too complicated. Right? When do we eat or drink together? Wash clothes or even stitch up that hole in our jeans? No, wait, the clothing industry saves us time with that one. There’s work, a job to go to. Almost every day. Then there are music lessons...

The Week Before …

I keep thinking about Jesus and the last days before He was crucified. Jesus walked past Golgotha. He’d seen the crosses. He knew what happened there. We don’t always know the future. Did He? He definitely had seen people die on those crosses. He knew. He’d studied...

Walk and Not Be Weary?

There are stories of authors and artists who walk as part of their creativity. In my research just now, I googled that and got lost in reading about George Washington Carver and his faith. Even ordered a book about him. He believed walking in nature was essential for...

Run As Fast As You Can! Take That Leap!

There is a quote that I love—attributed to Ray Bradbury, “Then the long march from the rim of the cave to the edge of the cliff where we flung ourselves off and built our wings on the way down.” Many people claim it as theirs. I’m giving Ray credit in many books and...
