Crater Lake

Made the trip to Crater Lake yesterday. Wow! This shade of blue is hard to describe. There is a road that follows the rim of the crater and part of it was closed due to snow. Snow! I will post more photos as the week unfolds. I also stopped by The Rogue River Gorge and will post pics from there as well.

Meanwhile, it is back to editing the last chapter.

More Progress

This picture is from my trip to the Avenue of Giants. It is one of my favorite pictures. I do like trees.

I have been making excellent progress. I did answer the question about my Christianity. It took almost 20 pages. I do like to hear myself talk. lol.

I have also completed the discussion about prayer, which was nearly another 20 pages, and so if you've been keeping track--that means this chapter sits at 90 pages. And the grand total (drum roll please) is about 270 pages.

The last chapter will be a compilation of my past writings. That is my next project.

I am going to Crater Lake sometime this week and hope to have pictures to post.

The Journey continues.

The Question

I have been making progress on this chapter-55 pages. I believe there are only two more subjects to include on this chapter about Love & Faith.

From these postings it is quite clear that I believe in angels and that I believe in God but the question everyone wants to know is if I consider myself to be a Christian. That is what I am posed with in this chapter. And it's a difficult question to answer. I am struggling to answer it.

The struggle isn't IF I consider myself to be a Christian, but HOW I define it. I know what my feelings are, but they are difficult to articulate. I'm sure God and I will figure it out.

And the last subject is about prayer and that I do not pray the way I once did.

The Journey continues.

More Progress

I promised that I would post my photos from my recent visit to the Oregon Coast. The two photos that are side by side are of the same beach. The other two photos are of different beaches.

I continue to make progress on this chapter, now some 34 pages. I have been reading more of my past writings and will soon start writing again.

The Journey Continues.

I forgot

I forgot that I promised to post more pics from my trip. These are of the redwood forest that I recently visited.

I am never sure if I should share my struggles, but they are part of my reality. Yesterday I was beating myself up for having been distracted from my writing. It had been over a week since I had worked on the book, and so I talked to God about that. I posted an excerpt from yesterday's writing on From The Barn.

Meanwhile, rest assured that I am back to writing. I have now completed 22 pages in the new chapter and have been writing today and it is flowing well.

The Journey continues.
