Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord God Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing there will not be room enough to store it. —Malachi 3:10
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. —Ephesians 3:20 This verse is very interesting, as it refers to the Holy Spirit's power residing within believers, enabling God to do far more in our lives than we can imagine, exceeding any human limitations by working through us; essentially, God's power is actively present and operating within a Christian to accomplish great things. And so... I offer my books as a tithe hoping God will do what marketing has not. My novels, their stories carry a message so important in this day and age. The message is one of hope and redemption, despite the evil abounding. Yes they’re about angels and demons, sex and drugs (pharmacopeia in the Bible) and sorcery, all of which are abundant in society today, and so little of God or Lord Yeshua (Jesus). But my characters learn and grow and do they return to the Lord? It’s more real than you can imagine. In my stories: demons are the men and women we live around daily who behave in ungodly ways. Angels are the good men and women, maybe not Polly pure-hearts like in so much Christian fiction, but people with a good heart who strive to do what is right. Even Lucifer himself has a chance at redemption, which some Christian believe is impossible. But recall what Yeshu'a said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” --Luke 18:27

So far I’ve finished two books since my last blog in October. The first one I’d completed, “Whispers of the Wildwood” one of my readers liked it so much he asked if there would be a sequel. Well, now there is - “Heirs of the Wildwood” and now I've finished I’m on to another, “Beyond the Wildwood.”
Despite these novels, there’s three others I started last summer (2024) or was it Spring? Anyway, my goal is to write this third novel in “The Wildwood” series and then finish those other three. In the meantime, life gets in the way. Fall season and leaves fallen - into my Koi pond, of course - so then I’m out there scooping leaves out of the pond and trying to put up a net tent. Yeah right. Good luck with that one. They say it takes more than one person but so far, two persons are not enough, so I’ll leave it with just the netting over the water. It has a zipper so I opened that and the plants with long leaves have an out. Soon the ice will arrive and as I’m watching the koi come out to see what I’m up to, I’m thinking, about a story about koi but I don’t know what I’d do with it. That’s where AI comes in, when I don’t know what to do, the AI always has suggestions and makes far better outlines than I ever could, as well as edit chapters when I don’t like the way they sound to me. Also, I still have an idea for a novel about dreams and boy do I have a bunch of those. As I wrote in an earlier blog, I record my dreams and while several notebooks filled with dreams were lost many years ago, I’ve dreamed a lot of dreams since and I record those I remember. Usually. I keep my Apple Watch on at nite so I can record them without waking all the way. Yes, I know, I’m rambling but it seems like so much has happened with stories and writing and more writing and wanting to share. I’ve joined several online writers groups but always forget to join until it’s over and there goes my socializing. I suppose that in itself would make a good story, and then my neighbor I wrote about a while back, I’ve started a murder mystery based on somethings that have happened since first meeting him. There’s no end to stories to write. the problem is finding enough time to write them all. Okay, I need some lunch and then get back to my story writing, although this here is a story in itself , if you know what I mean. See you later… or you’ll read me later. Ha. |
