I have written and published my third book. This one is The Truth About Marty. Some of you may remember that title as a contribution to Friday Fiction - way back in 2009. I wrote more or less a first chapter - and got several encouraging comments, some saying they wanted more. It took a while, but finally I have finished it. It is a full length novel, Sherri Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02370897359440297281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803108306756698175.post-11341282999380839982017-06-07T14:34:00.001-06:002017-06-07T14:35:42.513-06:00Hi all, hope you are having a great day!

And I'm really thinking about about my new "subtitle." Letting go of anxious thoughts and tuning in to quiet whispers. It seems to be a recurring theme in my life. Don't worry, trust the Lord. I remind myself of that a lot! So, I won't say I worry - but I do have "anxious thoughts."

In spite of the cold, Bob could feel sweat beginning to form on his brow. Clinging precariously to the face of the cliff, he looked around for a better grip. There was a somewhat larger hollow in the rock above him, but he wasn’t sure he could safely release the grip he already had to reach for it. His toes were Sherri Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02370897359440297281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803108306756698175.post-36717955561401233702015-04-16T10:32:00.000-06:002015-04-16T11:07:42.684-06:00Letting Go of Anxious Thoughts, Tuning in to Quiet Whispers
When I began to dust off this blog with the intention of starting to blog again, I wanted not only a new look, but a subtitle that reflected a bit of where I am at in a spiritual sense. What have I been learning lately? That led me to the thought, "It's about letting go of anxious thoughts and tuning in to quiet whispers." Hence, my new subtitle.

I checked in with a blog or two I like to follow, and I see others are finding that life is busy as well!

Recently it’s been on my mind, and every time I hear it in my mind, I can’t help but think, “Lord, thank you that the reality is I only have one tongue.” It isn’t that I don’t appreciate the sentiment behind the words – how can I adequately sing the praises of God with only one tongue?

If you are here visiting my blog, chances are you like to write Christian-themed stuff, such as fiction or just sharing the things the Lord puts on your heart.
