Chorale Gaudete Psalm 63

I am recovering from jetlag and editing my manuscript like mad. I miss the Poland team, but I'm blessed to be back with my family. Can't wait to see my church family tomorrow!

Outdoor concert in Gdansk. Psalm 63.

If you have not seen all the pictures and videos on Evangelos, you should really check it out. Tell them what an awesome job they did and continue to do!

Reformation for Poland has a fairly detailed journal of the entire trip.

Thank you all for your prayers. God blessed us greatly in our trip to Poland. I'm sure you'll be hearing more about it. :-)

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Thanks for reading,

Next Generation Writer's Conference

Yes, I am back alive after an amazing two weeks in Poland. There's a lot to catch up on.

For the moment, I just want to tell you about this free, online writer's conference coming up. Jill Williamson and others are working to make this possible. Check it out here.

I'm thrilled because I'll get some writer contact this summer even though I missed the Wordsmithy and will miss the OCW Conference. I also like it being free...

Hope you can attend.

Glad to be back in the blogging world, although life is still pretty crazy. This poor blog needs to be revamped, I believe. Maybe it's just my cleaning instincts coming out online instead of the piles of laundry and my half unpacked room... Off to work!

I hope you've had a wonderful two weeks.

Thanks for reading,
Miss Pickwickian

Blogging Break

I just got home from an amazing week at our annual Church Family Camp. What an excellent reminder of the encouragement, safeguards, and challenges of community!

I have two things that should be, Lord willing, accomplished before I renter the blogging world around July 14th.

1. My book, Called to be Fruitful Now will be at the printers.

You have no idea what freedom and ecstasy this will give my spirit!

2. I will be back from Poland a (hopefully) wiser, more experienced, probably exhausted person.

Thank you so much to those of you who have already been praying and showering me with encouragement. Your support is greatly appreciated. I continue to covet your prayers for our team!

You can keep up on news and updates from both of the following blogs-




You can also like Evangelos on facebook to get recent picture updates.

Thank you so much for your encouragement and prayers. I look forward to sitting and writing some more thought through posts when my break is over. 

Thanks for reading. I'll be back in July. :-)

Notes from the Tilt-a-Whirl Movie

I loved Notes from the Tilt-a-Whirl so much. Can't wait until I can see what they did with this movie.

Life

It is so much easier to critic than to accomplish...in everything.

Somewhere...there is progress.



I am the sort of man who writes because he has made progress, and who makes progress by writing. - St. Augustine
