Yes, it is really amazing. I mean, awesome. I went to a remote area where we have our outreach and I saw this spring. While appreciating the nature, something in my heart saying, “You are the treasure that i take, You are the hope that I await”, this line struck my heart. I never forget this line because up until now, this line is till remain unfinished. hahaha…

Thanks

You really have a nice line. I agree with that, your first line is something very important. It is something comes from somewhere given to you, and all you have to do is to find the piece to finish the task that was given to you.

There was a night I went to the beach for swimming. It was cold and the moon was bright. While I was moving my hand pushing down the water, the bubbles were coming up like a very “crystal clear”. There I started to write when I got home. I created the song in titled “My Father”. The line says, “Watching the eyes of my Father, Glow when blink some-like CRYSTAL CLEAR”. The song writing goes on for two years. It all begin in that word, “Crystal Clear”.

I carry a small notepad everywhere I go, even in my car. Some of my ideas have come while on the road. Imagine my frustration at not having a pad and pen handy when an inspirational thought/idea came through! It’s happened more often then I care admit.

Interesting observation about how the first line comes from God while the rest you have to do yourself.

I actually think that when I’m in the “zone,” all of it comes from God. Writing becomes effortless and my fingers fly across the keyboard with new words, phrases, ideas, etc. When not in the zone, I struggle to find the right words until the dam breaks open and all is well again (which usually happens when I just write whatever comes through without regards to what I’m writing, in an effort to loosen the dam).

As for finding the ceramic hands in the church store (written about in the previous article), no it was definitely not a “coincidence.” I was divinely led to it!

I thought the band-aid photo was too good to pass up, especially as it matched one of the contents in that cardboard box at the UNUM presentation. I’m following the suggestions of readers, “probloggers” and others to use more visual images in my posts to make them visually stimulating while getting the message across. Seems to be working!

I’m starting to experiment with Flicker as the free source of photos providing, of course, the photographers are properly credited. In the near future, I will add self-made video and podcasting posts and see how that reasonates with both new visitors and the AU community. I think people will be surprised to see how well I speak. Should be interesting!

Give Flicker a whirl for your blog, I think you’ll have fun with it.

The most important piece of this was the jotting down of ideas when they come to you.

Somebody once said that the first line in any writing comes from God. The rest you have to do yourself.

Don’t want to miss that first line! You NEVER remember it later!

Love,

PS You don’t think your finding those hands called “silence” was a coincidence, do you?

I really like the one about “treating the symptoms”. I think that our society has become use to “patching” things up and never really get to the root of our problem. The medical establishment is a good example of how many times only the symptom is treated. I truly believe that giving our bodies the proper nutrition can relieve many of our medical problems.

Nice photos, I have been meaning to check out Flickr, but have not had the chance.
