Are You Weary in the Waiting?

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV It seems that if a writer isn’t writing, then she’s waiting… Waiting to get edits back from a critique partner.Waiting to hear from [...]

Getting Picked Last

When I was a kid, I had a pretty stiff case of childhood asthma. I couldn’t run much, and because my dad was a Turkish immigrant and never played baseball or football, he never coached me to hone my skills in those regards (they still remain latent to this day). Consequently, I was usually the [...]

Need Stress Relief? Look Up!

My grandkids and I have been busy with all kinds of science fun this month – from one grandchild’s science fair projects to another’s computer lessons that are part of his Christian home schooling program. Much of it has been fun. Working with them as much as I do, I often learn new things myself [...]

When You Just Don’t Fit the Market

I’ve never felt like I fit. Growing up in the 70s and 80s on Long Island, New York, I didn’t know anyone whose parents (or grandparents) were divorced except mine. I didn’t know any other kids who had to visit their dad on the weekend instead of doing fun stuff with friends. And I didn’t [...]

Starting today, Sundays here at Writer…Interrupted will be devoted to soul searching posts. Devotionals or psalms from ordinary people like you and me, who many [...]

Lumpy Writing

 “What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator. Does a clay pot argue with its maker? Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying, ‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’ Does the pot exclaim, ‘How clumsy can you be?’ Isaiah 45:9 NLT Her fingers quiver as she types the web address. One [...]

Foster Care: A Life Changing Interruption

Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. ~James 1:27 (NLT) I was late turning in my article this month. I mean really late. My mind has been in many other places. I cannot believe [...]
