 In
my mind, I made the commitment to be
a writer on May 2, 1998 when I was
reading the daily entry in the book,
Celtic Daily Prayer written by John
Skinner and Andy Raine of the
Northumbrian Community.The
entry for May 2nd gives three
options for biblical readings and a
short reflection. The
reflection refers to the unlikely
heroes that through their writings
impacted the spirituality of
millions by piecing together
fragments of memory and reflection,
then weaving the joined fragments
into a story that teaches about
truths that don't change over time.
These heroes never felt like they
were "good writers." The just
felt there was something that needed
to be said.
One of the biblical readings for
May 2nd was Habakkuk 2:2:
"Write down the revelation
and make it plain on tablets so
that a herald may run with it."
Translation - New International
Version
I never thought I was a good
writer - and still don't. But
there are some things that just need
to be said and this blogsite is an
effort at bringing some of them to
surface.
For those of you who know me -
nothing will surprise you here and
most have heard my rantings before.
For those that don't know me, I am
strongly opinionated, passionate
about what I believe in and not too
easily ruffled by rejection these
days, perhaps because I'm
getting used to the biting back of
those who don't agree or are
offended. Oh well ...
I am a wife, mother, grandmother,
daughter, sister, niece, neighbor
and friend. I live in the
Vance Miles House, a Victorian,
Queen Anne style home, with
my husband
Dan,
three
dogs and one or several of our
six grown children depending on who
needs a place to crash at the time
you read this. We live in
Marion Station in Somerset
County on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland which
to us - is our place of
resurrection.
Currently, my full time job is
with the State of Maryland working
for the Department of Business and
Economic Development. In my
spare time I enjoy my large family,
kayaking on the flat-water of the
Lower Eastern Shore, gardening and
of course - writing the vision -
whatever I happen to be visioning at
the time. |
