Devotions

So here I am on Day 11 {really, Day 11???! Wow!} of my 31 Days of Blogging effort. I am amazed I have made it this far!

Today I am going to put up a few links for some other writing I have done. Yes, I know it's a shortcut, but that's ok. I want to have this list all in one place and have been meaning to do this for a while.

I have been blessed to have the opportunity to participate in our Church's devotion writing project, and am starting my third year as one of the writers. The project began in 2009, and I was very interested in trying my hand at it, but did not step up. When the call for writers came out for 2010, I repeatedly encouraged my husband to sign up. He finally told me, flat out, "You do it." So I did. Last year I finally got him on board and he became a writer as well. We will both write again this year.

This writing has been a great growing experience. We have a specific format to follow, and a very limited 350 words in which to communicate. I usually start out writing a whole lot, then paring it down, word by word until I have the right amount. It makes me more careful with the words I use. I think limitations are generally good for promoting creativity. Writing these devotions has not been easy. I am not a Bible scholar, by any means. But it has been a very, very good experience, I highly recommend!

I have enjoyed revisiting these writings, some which I had forgotten. Here are links to my devotions:
