The End for Now?

I have a passion for God that takes my body and soul to the breaking point. Just like listening to BeBe Winans sing Safe from Harm. I take flight when the best combinations of words come together to manifest God.

I have a passion for God...

Tomorrow I will host the second session of my summer reading series, Third Thursdays, and I'm not anxious like I was last month. But ready for the healing. The right combination of words spoken outloud from the saints--oh, Halleluhah--is what I need right now.

See. My life, my real life is no crystal stair. I'm contemplating something heavy that I may have to do, in order to be the best mom God knows I can be for Selah. That may mean that I will not be posting again for a few months. That may mean I may have to leave Atlanta. But it won't mean that I will ever leave the comfort of the Word. Because he is in me.

As you go out and do your thang' the remainder of this year. Remember me. Pray for me. I hope I will still be here, to meet with you on this blog, to continue writing spirit out onto paper, and to be encouraged by your words.

The Word was God. The Word was Life. Can we make life in our words again?
Can we make the sacrifice?Can we be the sacrifice?
Bebe sangs yes:

For the Lord is Good. For the Lord is Good. For the Lord is Good. And I'm safe from harm.

Writing to see what the end's gon' be,

And if I go, please be as sweet to Marina Woods, my guestblogger, as you have been to me.

Buzz Factor: Forgiving Chris Wells

My loyal buddy, Chris Wells of CCM Magazine gets kudos for having the strongest work ethic I know(unless he has oompa loompas and angels doing all his work instead.)

We echat often, but he hadn't told me that this highly anticipated and critically acclaimed debut novel, Forgiving Solomon Long also had the Juice--a Ghetto Fabulous term for Street Buzz/clout. But he's so nice to me that I forgive him.

According to Terry Glaspey, director of acquisitions and development for Harvest House, Chris Well's publisher, Harvest House has committed to producing Well's four next books into 2009:

We feel Chris is at the forefront of a group of talented up-and-coming authors in CBA fiction exploring new ways of dealing with the classic themes of the 'old, old story...His unique voice, his humor, his compulsively readable style, and his abundant creativity make his books such a pleasure to read. Personally, I can't wait to read his next book.

Neither can I...

But if you haven't read Forgiving Solomon Long let me give you a two line snippet of what's the buzz all about:

See. This hitman[Solomon] loses his will to kill after he offs a nice priest, who tells Solomon that he forgives him for murdering him. Isn't that wild?

Anyway, I highly recommend this book. It's action packed with short chapters, no play play dialogue. God's words creeps up on you like Fat Cat and his crew. It's the Juice.
