Writer's Paradise

I always go through seasons with my writing. Times of plenty and times of dryness. Today at the prayer room I was inspired to write more poetry and songs. I even went out and bought a special notebook to contain them. This shopping venture even had a hint of evangelism. (The full story is recorded at the end of this blog). I plan to record my voice singing the songs and post it on my writing blog. We'll see how well I can manipulate the technology to do this. My dormant writing blog is about to be functional again. I also want to share something wonderful. As I was trying to rhyme I began to wonder if the Internet had a rhyming dictionary. I was pleasantly surprised to find one. Words I would have never thought of are posted there. Too cool!

Evangelistic Notebook
I dropped my two notebooks on the cashier's table. The woman glanced at them and asked a question.
"School project?"
"No," I reply.
A small pause. Time enough for me to realize God opened the door for my witness. I decide to continue the conversation.
"Actually it is for a prayer journal." I inform her.
"Oh, okay," the cashier seems uncomfortable and caught off guard.
"I went to the Anchor Room to find a journal, but all of them were to small. I needed something big so I opted for a school notebook." I continue.
"I see. Well have a good day," she politely replied.
Since she didn't seem to be overjoyed at the mention of a prayer journal I just assume she isn't saved. I want to emphasize that I am assuming. If she isn't saved it was nice of God to give me the opportunity, no matter how slight, to share my faith.
