"Writing is an act of faith, not of grammar," says author E.B. White, and that's how writing feels to me too. It's an act of faith to write out your heart, an act of faith to put words together and hope they speak to someone else.
I currently serve as resident author with a liturgical worship community; edit a quarterly devotional magazine; write online and in print publications; and often speak in churches and other settings. For me those are all acts of faith too.
On this website, I share some of my writing, books I'm reading, Scripture, prayer, and living everyday life with faith and hope. Whatever today holds for you, I pray you'll be refreshed and renewed by the articles you read here.
Before you go, I'd like to send you a free copy of my ebook that I hope you'll find helpful:
How to Pray When Prayer Seems Impossible. Just let me know where to send it:

I googled the quote and read the whole poem! The Easter quote is right at the end! Wow, I had forgotten the sparkle and the freshness and pungency of Hopkins poetry. Thanks for reminding me!
You’re very welcome–Hopkins is my all time favourite poet, and the photo by Lois Siemens seemed to fill in the next line about the “crimson-cresseted east.”
