Relaunch of Fire & Grace

After a 10 year hiatus from blogging here, I am back. I wrote hundreds of blogs on MyFitnessPal during the time. I also wrote three or four books. In the process I did some other cool stuff like running the Abbott World Major Marathons, survive cancer 7 times, as well as congestive heart failure. I also contracted a disabling neurological condition in 2018.

I have had five major surgeries to try and correct it.

What will I be writing about now? Jesus. Life. Truthfully, not a whole lot. I am still cognitively disabled from my condition and writing requires a lot of help from others.

Today, the season to publish four books has arrived.

24 years - almost 25 years after the prophet Denny Cramer spoke write, write, write over me, I am going to gather all of it in 4 volumes. Maybe even 5. This time, there won't be a publisher to say no one cares about what God does. Time has made it about what the Lord did and not about me. There won't be the pressure to meet deadlines. I won't need to defend myself. I won't need to market it. I only have to let my team know what I want.

God has opened an unexpected doorway for me to go through.

I know what I want and in a few short weeks, I have acquired a writing coach, a couple of long-time friends to copy edit, another to do the graphic design, pre-readers, and finally, audio books are on the table, too.

How will it turn out? I have no idea. It's the season, that I am certain of. Does anyone care what I have to say? That is none of my business. All the matters is this:

John 3:11 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, we speak only of what we [absolutely] know and testify about what we have [actually] seen [as eyewitnesses. AMP

Why?

Revelation 12:11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. NIV

When will I write something new? I don't know. I will probably post excerpts from the various books as things progress. For now, I'll go back to my quiet life and spend time with those I love and the people of God, some of whom I have known for many decades.
