Somewhere between loving the joy of writing and the trauma of life, I lost the joy, and writing became a chore required for therapy. This conference helped me to re-think—literally to re-pent—and believe that writing is not a chore but rather, it is literally WORSHIP, as the Spirit of Truth guides us, and we colabor with Our Father in Heaven writing “the story” which God gave us. – Billy Wiland (2024)
During this workshop I’ve re-dedicated to more consistent activity on the project I know God is blessing. – Charlene (2024)
