I'm Back! At 5:15 p.m.
Between potting container flowers for around the house, getting the veggie garden ready for planting, spending the holiday Sunday with church friends and yesterday with family, plus a medical emergency in the family last night--urgent but not serious, I woke this morning thinking I have nothing to share with my blog followers today. As happens so often in my walk with my dear God and Savior, the Spirit took over in the middle of coffee-with-the-news this morning and gave me a poem to share with you. To wit---
The Lord is my day,
The Lord is my song,
The Lord is my everything
All day long.
The Lord leads my path,
The Lord guards my life,
The Lord hovers overhead
No matter the strife.
The lord is my voice,
The Lord is my words,
The Lord is all of me
In all of my worlds.
About my book project--I spoke of a special development last week and it is simply this: I found a way to focus each chapter so that it deals with the topic, a struggling America, but nothing but the book's focus. With four chapters outlined accordingly, I have already screened out a number of clippings for each one that don't relate or belong in a book on a different topic. Needless to say, this will shorten the rest of my seemingly endless job of screening through my files for material for this book. It also gives me renewed energy to see the book start to take meaningful shape.
Another discerning thought--It will take a great deal of time to write a book on this topic. Though I will keep at it, I may end up shortly upgrading another book that I sold twice in the 1990s, but both times the contract feel through for reasons that had nothing to do with the book's textual material.
That's all this week. Take care, my dear friends and followers, and God be with you,
Margaret
