This week I am going for the third year in a row to a Christian Writer’s conference.  I have been asked why do I write, and their other question was what qualifications do I have to write about Christian living?  Well, I haven’t gone to school to learn how to write, but it does seem as if there has been an emphasis on writing in my education.  Also I enjoy the process of creating something with words that wasn’t there before.  After all, we are made in God’s image and He gave us the ability to create.  To answer the second question it seems as if a lot of people won’t read the Bible, but God still wants to communicate His truths and love to them, so He directs individuals to write as He so leads.

I feel as if I am one of those individuals.  I always ask God what He wants to say this week.  After all He knows who will be reading the blog that particular week.  I pray for those readers that somehow the words they read will encourage them, lift them up, and help them know God.

So you see each week this blog is for you, the reader, and it’s not just words, but it comes with thoughts and prayers about you and for you.  So I go to the conference to learn how to communicate better “The Word.”
