Altogether Forgiven: A Celebration of Living All Together Forgiven

Forgiveness is more than a work to do… It is the power to change the world! Altogether Forgiven takes us into a world that too few believers ever discover. “Forgiveness is a work, yes. But it is not a work in the sheer grit of determination to forgive. To forgive is this alone: Seeking God until you come to intimate fellowship with His heart about the issue and the person. “Someone asked me with real sincerity, “How do I know if I have forgiven?” My answer was brief. “When you love your enemy.” “Forgiveness is a choice, yes. But after the will to forgive, it is not a mental matter. As the scriptures make clear, forgive…“from your heart.” When you are hurt, the pain goes to your heart first, then your mind. “A broken heart is a heart wounded and wronged. Its healing comes only through God’s loving grace and His own forgiveness of your persecutor.” Martha Kilpatrick, Altogether Forgiven The impact of forgiveness is so much greater than most of us know.

My life has been an adventure of God's dream, beyond any fantasy I could have imagined. My calling is to write and publish the wonders He unfolds, down to the bones of reality in poetic prose. Something I could not do, didn't want to do, and never imagined being called to do!

A writer is an explorer, an inquisitive soul and a pondering heart. Writing comes from living and watching. Expression doesn't come out of a vacuum but from bold curiosity and intense listening. Suffering alongside wonder. Writing is merely the archeological report of treasure dug out by sweat and dirt. This is who I am...and was formed to be.
