Jon, that's exactly how my blog got started--which is less of a blog than just a sharing place for the daily messages I write about the Bible and about digging deeper into the Word we are supposed to know and love. I woke up on July 1st, 2009, and as I was reading my Bible, the Holy Spirit told me to write about what I had just read. So, I wrote a message for some friends and sent it out as an email. And then on July 2nd, I woke up and did it again, but this time I thought to myself, "I'll do this for a month and see if I really can keep going." A few days later, the conviction was "Okay, I'll keep this up for 100 days." That's when I decided to post them on a blog. Next thing I knew, it was November, and I had written over 400 pages! Then I knew: I would write every day for the rest of my life.

I don't have the will-power to argue with the Holy Spirit every morning, so I write just to let Him get it out--and in the process, I learn more about God's holy Word and about writing, too. It's a pretty fair trade for the two hours I "sacrifice" before sunrise every day.

Like you said, writers write. Thanks for the kick-in-the-pants reminder.
