p.s. In case you didn't get to watch the videos yesterday: this weekend, four of Marcia Laycock's students won awards in the Devotional category of the InScribe Fall Contest. Three of them were her students in the March cohort of the Devotionals course--Betty, Linda, and Pat. InScribe Christian Writers uses two of the winning entries as their devotional for the mornings of their Fall Conference. Here again are Betty and Carol's beautiful, inspiring, and thought-provoking pieces:

Poetry Camp: Dwelling in Possibility runs next week from Monday, August 12 to Thursday August 15th. In the four-day online camp,...
Hello! I know I told you that I would take down the replay today, but life happens, so I'm extending it. I don't know about you, but my life has been FULL. (I try not to use the word "busy," because I've chosen 90% of my activities and commitments.) A few days ago I was talking with someone about how not all stress is bad, and that good stress is referred to as "eustress." But even good stress adds up.
