In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing.  Vincent Van Gog

We writers can take encouragement from words from this man who has been considered one of the greatest Dutch painters. During his life he was not recognized in that esteem, surely, he was practically unknown throughout his life. I know little about him. I’m really not a fan of his work. We all have our preferences, right! But this spunk shows through as he focuses on his pencil…which translates his purpose and passion to me.
Words are timeless and powerful. They can move nations and be ignored no matter how wisely spoken or written. But there is an audience for each writer and artist.
Wouldn’t you agree that when we write with Him, Father God the Almighty Lord, though our human audience wavers and dips, rises or falls off—we can still enjoy freedom and plumb the depths of connection and the thrill of expression, leaving bread crumbs for those who need even our scant offerings.

Our next Pens meeting will be Tuesday, June  19  :) 
Monday 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Faith Free Church 2201 42nd St., Manitowoc, WI  54220




Our book for the reading club is...
"The Lacemaker" by Laura Frantz. This is a historical. Contact Susan Marlene (me) if you are interested in joining this read and want to attend the discussion meeting.

    Words are not just words. They are thoughts and inspiration that have been behind every relationship and every deed--good or bad throughout time. If you have that burning desire to communicate and explore, come peruse my pages, teachings, and short stories. Allow inspiration to anchor your dreams on the written pages of memoirs, devotions, poems, or stories, both short or long! Luxuriate in the creativity you were born to share!

"Hope" is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all,​  by Emily Dickinson
