Jan, Hi. It's been a VERY busy week! I have not had time to do the assignments, but wanted to quickly check in. You work so hard and I don't want you to think I don't appreciate it. I had an idea, just didn't develop it.... In many science fiction deep-sea adventures the diver runs out of oxygen in ...

Rusty slammed the porch door, kicked dust from his boots and climbed inside the pickup. If John doesn’t give me an extension … The men were next door neighbors as boys. John grew up and became bank president. The other lost his shirt in last year’s drought. Hate to beg. If I lose the truck, can’t ev...

Thanks, Jan….Can tell this took a lot of preparation. Homework#1 Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before. I hate to slip out of my everyday shoes and cram my feet into pumps for the wedding. Homework#3 I glanced at my dashboard, 5:40 on the digital clock. Hope I don’t get stuck in traffi...

Topics

I am always excited to see what the new challenge topic is. I do as said by others think of it as a theme, a starting point. One of my friends in the Advanced group once did a piece that received a lot of negative comments. They did not see a connection to the topic. I did, and defended her work. I ...

Homework Dear Abby Revised

Pushing back years of Nabal’s intimidation I resolve to change. Can’t even control himself! He won’t manipulate me anymore! My thoughts scatter with sand thrown by swiftly moving horses. Men are jostled as they approach our ranch. Strangers…. wonder who they are. Better move outa’sight. A meandering...

Reaching A Generation

I'm curious, did anyone do writing for Reaching a Generation in South Africa last summer? I wrote about 50 short children's stories for a book series. They were very good to stay in contact with me until last fall. Since them I have heard nothing. I emailed their editor and used a direct link from t...

Jan, I came up with a few ideas.

Homework corrections: My sweetheart tried to persuade me to make a personal commitment to Jesus as Lord and Savior. I resisted his efforts. I believed in God; I prayed. His attitude offended me. We started attending church; and I even tried to read the Bible. Talking on the phone one Saturday night,...
