Hurog: Home of Patricia Briggs Burnside Writers Collective Derek Sivers Persecution Blog Jonathan Martin: Pastor of Renovatus Church in Charlotte NC ''The Vonnegut Web'' Blog | Vertical Church | James MacDonald | Walk in the Word Apr 09 2014 “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you . . . ” (Matthew 28:19-20a) I believe the ultimate end-game of all disciple-making is church planting.

So, in context of the current interview , which has only just begun, I found myself reading a post from the 20th of June 2000, written while I was writing Which I am reposting a bit of here because a) there's lots more cool stuff like this on the various Well topics I did (here's the first , the second , the third, -- and b) if ever a story was meant to be on this blog, it's this one. ...last week Maddy woke me up early in the morning. "Daddy," she said, "There's a bat on the kitchen window." "Grumphle," I said and went back to sleep. "Nope," I said.

Julie Roys johnmarkmcmillan Patricia C. Wrede's Blog One of the most interesting things, to me, about reading old (like, 1930s or earlier) how-to-write books is the way they look at viewpoint. Modern writing texts focus mainly on who the viewpoint character is, or on the type of viewpoint (first, second, or third-person) and how Read more → I’m still working on revisions, and one of the first things I did was to make what I think of as the real outline of the story. I haven’t seen much, if any, discussion of this technique, so I thought I’d talk about how I do it So this is another open mic week – chat, make announcements, complain about your writing, whatever. So I am currently stuck in the middle of editorial revisions on the Work-In-Process, and have been for an enormously long time, mostly due to outside factors. Plot skeletons seem to be very popular as planning tools these days. OK, the power is back on and they’re coming to remove the giant tree later this week. We had a nasty storm Sunday, and I lost power, phone, and internet.

Marriage Insights from Mark Gungor Be-Attitudes of Marriage by Mark Gungor When Jesus sat down for his amazing Sermon on the Mount, he began by sharing nine simple truths: Blessed are the poor in spirit, blessed are those that mourn, blessed are the meek, etc… We call them the “beatitudes”.
