I Write, Therefore I Am

To write what You reveal, dear Sir

Ere long I quit this place

Your plain, Your deep, bright, words to share

As long I walk this space

In stories ripe with metaphor

In poems filled with grace

My joy will be in hearts to stir

Until I see Your face

    Did you write this, Len? This is great! 🙂

    I’ve been wanting to stop by here forever, and I finally got the chance today! I will do my best to stop by more often.

      I humbly admit it, thanks so much, Lizzie! Sorry to take so long to reply, I’ve been away climbing a little 14,259 ft. mountain called Long’s Peak.
      Now there is a whole study on fear in itself! But, through the help of the Holy Spirit, I actually had very little even though in some places a misstep, a trip or a slip could have sent me hundreds of feet into the rocks below. I could have “dashed my foot” but all was well and I summited. See pics on my facebook. Thanks for visiting, Sis! 😀 (I’ll be visiting you soon too).

      Thank you, Jane. Sometimes I doubt myself, then an encourager like you comes along. 😀 Is that a typical “writer thing”?
      BTW, would you revisit that post? The picture somehow got blown up bigger than I intended. I fixed it. Much better now.
      Very deep picture….
      You keep working your posting magic as well! You’re welcome!

About The Music Links Below

I don't own, and have no claim on, these music videos. The following are simply links inside my website pointing back to the original locations of the videos. The names of the creators of these videos are cited wherever possible, and only "embedding-enabled" selections are used.

The Basic Christian Library

"Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis. This is fundamentally what Christianity is all about.

"The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel. Another converted atheist presents His compelling case for believing in Jesus.

"Left To Tell" by Imaculee Ilibagiza. This profound work is her own extraordinary story of endurance, discovery of the Holy Spirit, grace, healing, and an astonishingly compelling account of the necessity for forgiveness.

Compelling Christian Fiction Reads

"The Circle" 4-book series by Ted Dekker.
A man is the bridge between two very different worlds. Sound familiar? Can he save both? This T.D. work is brilliant in my book.

"This Present Darkness" and "Piercing the Darkness" by Frank E. Peretti. Tales of spiritual warfare from a unique perspective. Stirred a small controversy, but sold millions. What are we Christians afraid of? Hey, it's fiction!

My Signature Story

"I AM NOT MY OWN" is the piece that inspired the building of this site. It is the story that this site, as well as my life, is centered around. This letter to you is the one i would most like for you to read out of all the ones you will find here, because it describes how profoundly the works of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit can change one human life.

For Your Reading Enjoyment, This Is Like A Park, Use It, Enjoy It, and Leave Everything Where You Found It.

The content here's not to be used,

But to only be read and perused.

If you copy it off,

And your fortune is mine - you got sued!
