That first draft...

Not all evangelicals are right-wing...

Ready to send out with a query After many rewrites and 18 months with a writing group under the leadership of Barbara Abercrombie with the UCLA Extension Writers Program, I’m nearly ready to send Off Track to an agent for review. It begins with me at age 22 working for Christianity Today magazine in Washington, D.C., in 1971, and having to pass a street preacher in order to eat my sack lunch…

YHWH is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my Godde, my rock in whom I take refuge. Psalm 18:2 In Hebrew, God's personal name is spelled YHWH (consonants without the vowels--add whatever a, e, i, o, u you like).#Jehovah #Yahweh - In English translations #LORD in caps means the Hebrew word was YHWH.

"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims her handiwork... There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world" Psalm 19:1-4. Blessings to you on this Sunday morning. Sheep Mountain. In the first photo, Lake Hope is behind the sunlit little knoll on the left.
