The Writing Forest
Anais Nin once said: "We write to taste life twice."
That rings true as a preacher, blogger, and writer.
Writing is such hard work! But I love the taste! I'm in the middle of what I call the writing forest right now! That's how I feel whenever I'm working on a manuscript! I feel that way with alot of my sermons too :) I always hope I make it out of the preaching forest before the weekend.
But the joy of writing and the joy of preaching is tasting truth twice! We chew on truth. We savor truth. And the truth doesn't just taste good. It has a sweet aftertaste!

Mark,
You're a blogging machine.
Can you post a blog about what a typical day looks like for you as lead pastor.
thanks,

Mark,
I just finished your book, and I LOVED IT! There are several lion's tails I am reaching out to grab. I enjoy reading your blog, and can not wait to read your next book. Do you have plans to do a conference in Oklahoma City or Dallas?
Eric,
I think we're sticking local for now. Love to have you come out to DC for Buzz 07.
Mark
