Monday, May 20, 2013. Aunt BJ and Sonja. It's www.fromlefttowrite.com. Book Club Day. Our inspiration for posts this month is Anthony Marra's new novel A Constellation of Vital Phenomenon. The character of Sonja, a strong woman who returns to her native Chechnya to serve a physician in a shell of a hospital reminded me of my Aunt BJ Marshall who served as a missionary and nurse on the Gaza Strip for ten years. Aunt BJ stopped to visit us in. Because of its proximity to. Southern Baptists had called me to...

Sunday, February 10, 2013. Inspired by Saturday Night Widows by Becky Aikman. Upon receiving the next book chosen for www.fromlefttowrite.com, I was pleased to see it was a memoir about being a widow. Of course, having been a widow, I assumed my post inspired by this book would be about widowhood. Not so. Becky Aikman's memoir is as much about female friendships as about widowhood. At one point I considered naming my memoir,. Girlfriends Get You Through Life. We collapsed in laughter. 8221; Perhaps they ...

Tuesday, December 20, 2011. The Good, The Bad and the Oh, So Frustrating in Each of Us. There is so much good in the worst of us. And so much bad in the best of us. That it hardly behooves any of us. To talk about the rest of us. Treat yourself to seeing the movie, The Descendants. Nevertheless, the movie is worth your time to be reminded of the truth of the Edward Wallis Hoch’s poem above. Every person in the film reveals both sides of his/her character. Yes, George too. It forces the viewer to ...The r...

Wednesday, April 18, 2012. Grate Heat by John Lynner Peterson. I frequently use the above photo in my writing because it says so much and yet doesn't coerce the viewers interpretation. It seems an appropriate art work to engage my readers in the commemoration of Holocaust Remembrance Week. This week is Holocaust Remembrance Week with Holocaust Remembrance Day - -. I am indebted to my Facebook friend, Rodney Allen Reeves, pastor in Portland, OR for bringing to my attention the text and choir anthem below.

Tuesday, April 9, 2013. Eight Days: From Times Square Naked Cowboy to Mark’s Death. This post is inspired by Rosamund Lupton's novel,. As a member of www.fromlefttowrite.com, I received a free copy.
