This struck a responsive chord in me, and for some reason I thought immediately of the relationship between a writer and his or her reader. There is more involved in writing than merely putting symbols in an orderly row on a sheet of paper. What one hopes for is a communication of mind to mind and, yes, spirit to spirit, between oneself and the reader. The stronger the Christian writer s relationship with God, the more the reader will be blessed, even when the material is not overtly Christian. Lord, let your love for us and our love for you add blessing to everything we write.
Many writers are also journalers.
My journaling has always been sporadic, at best. At that time, my life was so full that writing about it would have been a full time job. Now all that hustle and bustle is past. John has retired from service, and we have downscaled our life style to the basics. My book, which took nearly ten years to write, is finished.
