Writing Seriously
I started lecturing at Bible study. (Public speaking ceased to scare the death out of me years ago, but that's another story.) One of the pastors, a man I respect greatly and admire for his missionary and theological work, came to me and said I might want to consider "writing seriously." So after I wrote the word "seriously" on a scrap piece of paper and handed it to him, we talked a while. We've since talked many times, and sometimes I wonder if he stops in the office just to spend a few minutes telling me his stories, but I enjoy it. His comment from that day continues to taunt me. Do I really have anything worthwhile to say? Does anyone care to hear it? I have not the answer to either of those questions. But another comment, from years ago continues to haunt me. Is my destiny to be just a housewife? And can I find satisfaction in that? Again, no answer to either. So here is my exploration of the two later questions. Let's see where it will take me.
