This is NOT an April Fool’s post, but somehow I lost a week in writing and postng this blog. I suspect that’s because I and a great committee were busy creating and then hosting our excellent annual Mid-South Christian Writers’ Conf. in Collierville, Tennessee, a suburb southeast of Memphis, March 20th-21st. It will be that same third weekend next year.
Amazing, prizewinning author DiAnn Mills was our keynoter. Published authors in all genres from near and far came to share their publications on book tables and to encourage each other before and after our top-quality eminar and class times. First-timers also came who have barely begun writing or who are considering taking up the craft. Each year, we offer several scholarships to qualifying applicants who write a short essay about their writing experience and goals. Our youngest attendee, age 12, shows great promise. Another author is healthy, lucid and productive in his 90’s. Put the Mid-South Christian Writers Conference on your calendar now to join us next March.
Pardon the joke at a serious time of year, but most of us do believe we have a story in us that needs to “get out.”
Today, Passover observance has begun around the world. In two more days, we have Good Friday and then our triumphal Resurrection celebration on Sunday. What more can I say about Easter that hasn’t been said? There’s so much more to it than bunnies and colored eggs and candy. I look forward to the powerful anthems declaring the everlasting truth told in Matthew 28:6, “He is not here; for he is risen, as he said.”
Whatever Easter means to you and however you celebrate it, over and above the delicious meals and special family times, may this year be supremely meaningful for you and your family in truly life-changing ways.
Until next time, Delores
