A Spiritual Jumpstart

Have you ever written anything that brings you to your knees? Cuts deeper than the heart, to the depth of your soul, so much that you have to step away from the keyboard?

It's frightening.

And oh so good.

You'll notice my word count isn't going up. That's because I've been working on writing a series of talks I'll be giving at a conference in February. I decided to do what I do best and write a story for the crowd. This story, quite possibly, is the hardest thing I've written to date. It's about Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane.

If you're looking for a fantastic way to hang out with the living God for an hour or two, try taking a scene from Jesus's life and write it as real time.

You won't be the same afterwards.
