| Introduction | In one of my favorite books, "Mr God, This is Anna" by Fynn, little Anna held out a pencil and notebook to passers-by and pleaded with them to "Write BIG what you see". Most people continued on their way, too busy to "see" much less to stop and write BIG what they saw. Perhaps I have been stopped. Just maybe the most important BIG thing that I have seen is that God has attached the word "beloved" to our names. I am a Christ-follower who, in 2001, heard the words "write BIG what you see" and that is what I cannot help but do. That is my current "calling". These writings are from a layperson's heart ... a view from the pew! |
| Interests | writing, sharing, appreciation of folk art (especially NC folk art), being "fed" by others' sightings of God around them (poetry of Thom Shuman, Timothy Haut, Ruth Dudley and the gentle ponderings shared by Skeeter Armstrong...all friends I have never met but by whose words I am nourished) |
| Favorite Movies | Life If Beautiful(subtitles), Young Frankenstein, Schindler's List, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Lion King, most late 40's to late 50's movies, the 3 James Dean movies, any movie with Walter Pidgeon and Greer Garson in it! |
| Favorite Music | James Taylor, classical, soft instrumentals, several hymns that are "my" prayers, and of all things "pure" mountain music! |
| Favorite Books | Mr. God-This is Anna (not me ... another "Anna"!), Trinity(Leon Uris), Night(Elie Wiesel), The Hunchback of Notre Dame, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Psalms (as in the Bible), Little Britches (Ralph Moody/my favorite book as a child and still pretty high on the list!), The Wounded Healer AND Life of the Beloved(Henri Nouwen), Bible, An Altar In the World AND When God is Silent (Barbara Brown Taylor) |
