A major influence in working on something more substantial was a talk given by Fr. My purpose here is to help you see why writing is such a blessed asset oif the spiritual life. Writing disciplines the mind. Left to ourselves, our thoughts are nothing less than a jungle filled with wild animals. Every thought leads to a desire.
Every desire leads to an action.
Every action leads to a habit. Every habit shapes our character. And our character determines our destiny. Writing is a proved way of lowering oneself in one's own estimation. What God in His wisdom and love has shared with us, keep a record of that.
