This morning began a new season for me.  I sat down at about 7am and started writing a book.

Last week, I ordered a correspondance course that leads me through the process of writing an entire book.  Yesterday, I was like a little kid in a candy store when UPS delivered the package.  I couldn’t wait to rip it open and get started.  Today, I started working with the title and table of contents (it’s a non-fiction book).

This blog will be changing as of today.  It will be a platform for me to throw ideas out and have you help guide me through the process.  I will admit…there will be less blog entries from this point forward.  I am sure that the my blog hits will go down in this process.  I need to save all the creative, writing juices that I have for this book.    Consequently, I will be tweeting less, and updating Facebook less.  In order for newness to arrive, some of the old has to die.  I really feel like this is a new dimension in my life and I am so glad that many of you will be with me along the journey.  Of course, nothing in the realm of being a husband, father, or pastor will change.  Those roles are non-negotiable.

I was encouraged today when several people said they wanted a copy of the book.  I know now that I will at least have 3 readers.  Jacob Lowery wants the first copy, John Ragsdale wants the 1 millionth copy, and Katherine Burgett didn’t stipulate which copy she wanted.  I am not sure if John was trying to flatter me or he just wanted to make sure it was ‘worth it’ by a million others before he read it. 🙂

I am jogging off down the path.  I will be stopping off here periodically for breaks to catch my breath and drink some water of support.  Hopefully, you will be at the resting point pushing me on…
