Writing & Lance - definition of an oxymoron   As to the 'many writers' thingy, I'd say not when you've written those wonderful accounts growing out of your own life. ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: July 05, 2005 08:52 Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Christian Perfection Many writers on TT are far more talented than this cat.  But my husband thinks I should write more.  Am praying about it.  Perhaps when I retire to the country? J Thanks, anyway.  How about yourself? iz   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lance Muir Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 6:42 AM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Christian Perfection   I wish that you'd write more stories that come from your life. (block party, going to a ball game, sitting on a curb eating ice cream with your daughter, quilting) You write well. Such as these are uplifting and encouraging to all who read them. Do you have another book in you?     ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: July 05, 2005 08:33 Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Christian Perfection     FortranDeclarations - Climate Wiki Invocation of the Gods of Explicitude.
