The last half of this week, my books kept coming up in different conversations. On Wednesday, a friend from the theatre shared with me that his daughter, who has my second book, used one of the poems for a school report. Then on Thursday, I ran into a friend from the seminary at the school …
At Ecclessia, we all chose something to give up or to add to our daily lives during Lent. I chose to write a poem a day. Writitng poems is holy ground for me, a place where I hear God and myself with greater clarity. Since starting this practice, I have felt God close by and …
