Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.  Galatians 6:9 (NIV)

Regularly, I don't post on Saturday. However, since Typepad had some difficulties with their site before its final curtain call, I thought I'd post today.  All that to say, next week we'll be on "vacation." For us, that means we actually are going somewhere other than doing errands. We know where our first destination point…

This is a real throwback to a Poll I took in 2003 from a diverse group of authors/writers about their definitions of Christian Fiction. Question/Poll Presented to various authors/writers/publishing industry professionals: Whether or not you like or dislike the label, define “Christian Fiction”.

Today is Friday. And going into it, I was facing being in an unexplainable "funk." I usually can decipher the "whys" of said funkiness. This time: not so sure. I think it's related to having to change my blog and all that entails after all these years, all those posts, all that having it just…

Well, change is inevitable, and now it's come here to me and my blog. This hopeofglory.typepad.com/into_the_fire will soon be moved to WordPress.com. Makes me kind of sad.

  He Loves You, People. Reach Out. Jesus waits to deliver you from the sins of the world. To forgive and redeem you. Nothing better. Nothing.  Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 (NIV)
