Writing a Book

Lord, 

today I decided to do something I've been too afraid to do 

because I didn't want to fail.

I don't like failure;

I don't know many people who do.

Yet lately I've been reading more and more

that we learn more from failure than we do from success.

So today I am going to write a book.

Not a big book.

Not all at once.

It is a book that has been brewing 

since I first wrote these, "Almost Daily Prayers"

twelve years ago.

It is a devotional book:

30 days with Almost Daily Prayer.

It will be just like this blog has been:

an honest reflection on scripture and life

holding both together through prayer

in the presence of you, O God.

Who knows who might read it?!

That's not the point.

The point is in the writing, in the praying, 

in the reflecting on life and faith and you, O God.

It is time.

So let us begin:

Let us pray...
