Writing, sometimes I hate it.

 Hey gentle reader, I'm Back. Yep It's me again. As I was thinking about what to write on my blog today I thought of the very topic of writing.

When I was in school I hate to write essays, but God does have a sense of humor and I end up being a pastor where you do a lot of writing.

Writing, gentle reader, is not just jotting down ideas. Often we say:" I don't know what to write. I have no thoughts worth really writing down." The truth be known, there are days that I sit on my computer screen just staring at trying to think of something to write. But much good writing emerges from the process of writing itself. As we sit simply down in front of our computer or paper and start to express in words what's on my mind, or in our hearts, ideas emerge, ideas that can surprise us and lead us to inner places we hardly knew were thereand that we can share with the reader.

One of the most satisfying aspects gentle reader, of writing, is that this can open in us deep wells of hidden treasure that are beautiful for us as well as for others to read and learn from or be entertained. Writing is a craft and needs to be work at in order to perfect.

How often is it, that we put off writing that letter or memo because we don't know what to say. It only gets done when we sit down and start to write.

Well, I got to go and fix dinner. And you know gentle reader, that at times that can be just like trying to figure out what to write. Talk to you later. And in the meantime enjoy each day that God is given to you. After all He said, "This is the daythe Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it."

 And as always comments are welcome.
