When we promote the well-being of others God has placed in our lives our service glorifies God.

No matter what you do each day...or in life...doing things God's way is a matter of the heart.

Your attitude toward others, work, and your daily life is a reflection of your attitude toward God.

Gather knowledge about the craft of writing. Immerse yourself in the art of it. Then write. Write yourself silly. Write yourself mad. Write yourself blind. Trust the excitement that builds within you when the idea is good and the writing is superb. You can do it, but that's the hell of it as well as the exultation of it. You have to do it.

When you delight yourself in the Lord, His Word and His ways become the focus and foundation of your life.
