Into the Fire

Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

  •   I don't have the statistical information on blue moons. Suffice it to say I've never seen one. I've seen golden harvest moons, orange huge moons, silver white sliver moons, and bright white moons that take up a hunk of the sky. Never a blue moon. Rare and beautiful, few have seen them. Sometimes, for many…

  •   Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow…

  •                        Take a good look at these shelves. Lots of books. Right? And a mere minute miniscule picture of the writer's competition. Published books. So what makes any author think their book is going to sell? Beats me. I've resigned myself to the enormous number of available fiction out there. Let's face it: much…

  •                     Most people at some point in their lives have had a toxic relationship. Whether as kids or adults, some people must be put behind us in order for us to be free of their oppression. Not tossed aside like so much garbage but constructively set aside for good or until whatever their toxicity causes…

It's a movie where film critics try to wreak havoc on its intent, its length, its flaws, etc., when…

  •                            You know you're desperate when your spam folder with its advertisers/promoters of a product and those obviously from a different country, laboring with the English language, tell you what a great blog/website you have: and you feel thankful. You know you're desperate when . . . fill in the blank. Ah well, such are the…

  •                      The human touch. Reaching out. To another person. To a pet. Touch is important to us. We either welcome it or repel it. The situation determines our reactions to touch. As a writer/author, touching a reader is paramount to me. I don't write humor or horror so I'm not necessarily trying to make someone…

  •   So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.   Hebrews 10:35-36 (NIV)

  •                                Some of you may remember one of my very favorite series TV programs JAG. From the first time Marine Colonel Sarah MacKenzie (Catherine Bell) was introduced we wanted to see the sparks fly between Mac and Navy pilot and JAG attorney Lt. Harmon Rabb (David James Elliot) and oh how they did ignite. As is…

  •   Visiting Novel Rocket today. Instructing readers about the dark and the light. Sort of.   Father, thank you for every opportunity. Apart from you, I can do nothing.
