Theola has bubbled up to the suface.



In 2005 I entered a writing contest to write 50,000 words in on month. It was November I just don't know how I ever finished those 50,000 words. I even made a sit down dinner that year.
It is time now two years later to pick up that abandoned baby and begin my re-write. It was edited by my Father in Law. It was had for me to look at it I felt so guilty for diving into a project that consumed me so vastly. It was also overwhelming to look at all those error that need to be fixed.
Theola is my novel around 300 pages of my heart, mind and body (it is hard to sit so long).
She is there waiting for the follow through.
Theola is set in the life of a hospital clergy woman who discovers more about walking in Love than most folks do. She also learns forgiveness through discovering who she is.
My dear friend over at "life in the midst of Writing" challenged me. She is now publishing her wonderful novel. Go visit her.
I have so many varied interest and such a heavy load of responsibilities that it is easy for me to neglect my writing and my little Theola. I don't even remember writing it. When I was in that season I would just disappear into it. Like into a trance. I am interested in reading my novel and seeing what I wrote. I just have not been to attached to it. I owe it to myself to be.

Thanks for posting on my site. I too recently wrote a 50,000 (in the neighborhood at least) word novel. I had my mom edit it, and then my wife read it and make comments. Now I am going to go back and rewrite a lot of it. I guess what was rolling out at the time so quickly (playing almost like a movie in my head) was not in the best form for a novel. So I need to go back and add, subtract, divide, and multiply things throughout. I have given it a break for now. I know what needs to be done, but need a rest from it. If you have never heard of LULU.COM, then you have to check it out. Self publishing at its best! And best of all FREE! My favorite word. Have a great one!

glad you have picked up

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
