You can never read it objectively from the reader’s point-of-view. No one should be frustrated or embarrassed that someone else finds things that can be made better.

I am working on this seriously. My daughter came yesterday to help me – she has a 2 month old baby. Between the two of us I started to get reorganized. I seemed to have shoved things into drawers – with no rhyme nor reason. And I save everything. We I have a bin of recycling.
I tried to listen to your YouTube but couldn’t hear it at all on my IPAD.

Blessings,
Janis

A good and useful filing system is always a challenge, so I’m looking forward to getting this book.

Yes, Christians mess up – all the time! And people who aren’t Christians are sometimes way nicer than Christians. I want the novels I read to reflect truth as I know it in my day-to-day life, while pointing to a world that might be a little better.

If one is really honest one will admit that even Christians stray..sometimes. Those that walked with Christ were not perfect and neither are Christians. Problems and temptations come into the lives of all and we should not shy away from showing this. The fog in my brain has been cleared and I hope I can now go on to write with honesty and truth, stories that I am God led to share. I am enjoying your daily postings, thanks again.
