WE ALL WANT TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE DONE SOMETHING USEFUL, BUT POINT OF FACT IS...WE ARE NOT ALL GOING TO KNOW THAT, DOWN HERE. PERHAPS YEARS AFTER ONE HAS GONE 'HOME'... SOMEONE WILL HAPPEN UPON A POEM OR A PASSAGE GOD HAS INSPIRED ONE TO WRITE AND IT WILL BE EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED TO GO ON. SO WHEN THE URGE TO WRITE STRIKES...WRITE! BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT GOD IS FIRST TALKING TO THE WRITER, THUS, WHO IS OR IS NOT DRAWN TO YOUR INSPIRED WORDS AFTER YOU HAVE INGESTED THEM, YOU MIGHT NEVER KNOW. AND THAT'S FINE, ISN'T IT? BECAUSE, REALLY...IT'S ALL IN GOD'S HANDS. THANKS FOR SHARING, PASTOR. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+ INSPIRATIONS

It's a God-given gift, Thurman. Use it wisely, directed by Him, and there will be someone, somewhere, who needed it.

Thurman, God uses you to write. It's my only explanation. Some can draw some can paint...I can't but we all have a gift. As an author I am amazed how well my books sell and so each night I thank the Lord. I did not start off being a writer but all the time I knew it was my way of pleasing others.

May it be the happies and healthiest of years.

Considering your background as shared on your profile page Thurman, I would be very surprised if your did not feel the urge to write quite frequently. Individuals who cultivate spiritual inspiration within their own lives and fans its flames in that of others are often filled with revelatory impulses and imagery that demand expression. Thank you for sharing yours,

Pretty much sums up how it works for me. The puzzle is why sometimes the words just seem to flow while other times are barren with no words you know. Enjoyed it. God Bless Luke
