Not every line must rise like poetry. Some words stand plain and unadorned, and still carry beauty in their quiet strength. #WhenSimpleWordsSpeakTrue #BeautyInSimplicity #FaithInWords #SacredHush #QuietStrength #LyricalProse #TheArtOfWriting #GraceInWords #SoulfulWriting

There are seasons when the plans we made fall away, and all that remains is trust. “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” — Psalm 73:26 #GodsProvidence #FaithInTheWaiting #StrengthInWeakness #StillHeIsGood #RestInHisHands

This is the hidden music beneath the story. For words are not only seen with the eye, but heard within the soul. #TheMusicBeneathTheWords #AmWriting #BiblicalFiction #EpicStorytelling #PoeticProse #TrilogyOfKingsSaga

The Stone of Ebenezer set the stage for what follows. Nagad and Ekwesh stand as foils—Hebrew and Philistine. In steps Saul: chosen, rising. His tragedy is ours to behold—the broken destiny of one not fully surrendered to the call. #TrilogyOfKings #BrokenDestiny #BiblicalFiction

Teaching Through Story When I write biblical fiction, I do not pause the narrative to explain the world—I let the world breathe through the page. Not with lectures, but with fabric. Not with commentary, but with thread. #BiblicalFiction #TrilogyOfKingsSaga #WritingWithPurpose

A gleaming white city upon a hill… The phrase echoes Scripture. But in The Stone of Ebenezer, it rings hollow. For though Gath rises bright against the barren land—formidable, majestic—it is no city of light. #LandSketches #TheStoneOfEbenezer #TrilogyOfKings #BiblicalFiction

I will not apologize for my arsenal. The comma, the colon, the dash—each has its place, its weight, its voice. They are not trifles, but the very sinews of story. #Punctuation #WritingCommunity #OnWriting #WritersCraft #LyricalProse #BiblicalFiction #SacredStory #EpicStorytelling

When Saul whispered, “You are so near,” I understood. On 9/11, after my father was taken, I felt the same trembling weight of God’s nearness. #NeverForget #September11 #911Remembrance #FaithAfterFire #GodIsNear #TheNearnessOfGod #TrilogyOfKingsSaga #BiblicalFiction

Mine is a story that began as hopeless. How could life ever be good after terrorists brutally took the life of my precious father? But the story does not end at the fiery wreckage of the Pentagon. Living Hope sprang from the ashes. #mytruestory #SilentResolve #September11 #hope

After 9/11, one line from Tolkien rooted in me. Years later, it bloomed— a cyclamen in the rain. Not answers. But hope after fire. A whisper: Rise. #TheStoneOfEbenezer #BehindTheThread #FaithAfterFire #BiblicalFiction

The cost was high, the foe before— his breath the fight, his will the war. #TheStoneOfEbenezer #TrilogyOfKingsSaga #BiblicalFiction #EpicProse For full Poem: https://t.co/iAe9PQYa3i

“His voice was flat and hard, as though his soul was empty.” That emptiness was mine once. I gave it to him so I would not have to bear it alone. #TheStoneOfEbenezer #TrilogyOfKingsSaga #FaithInTheFire #GriefAndGrace #September11 #HealingThroughStory

A decade ago, The Stone of Ebenezer was released. This October, it returns—refined, renewed, yet still bearing the same cry: ✨ Thus far the Lord has helped us. #TheStoneOfEbenezer #BiblicalFiction

I am joyfully overwhelmed as the relaunch of my Biblical Epic draws near. The memory of Nagad’s burden reminds me of how far I have come, even as the anniversary of September 11 presses near. Thus far the Lord has helped me. #TheStoneOfEbenezer #BiblicalFiction #FaithInFire #9_11
