*** Apologizing for a hiatus is a bit cliché in the world of blogging so I will skip the pleasantries, thank God for the mind to click "publish" today and pray that someone gets blessed. ***

I have not written from my heart nor have I written from the most important part of myself, my spirit, in what feels like forever. Truth be told, I am happiest when I am being what I know that I am (what God blessed me to be) and doing what I love (using the gifts and talents that God tailored specifically for me).
A sonnet written in true Shakespearean fashion and a poem written for a dear friend's wedding were nice "fixes" but such infrequency caused me to question my, "I'm a writer" proclamation.

Not only are we called to be DOERS, but we are also called to bring glory to God in our DOING. How can your title/role/actions bring others closer to Jesus Christ today?
TASK OF THE DAY:
DO what you ARE today. If you are a LOVER, then LOVE today. If you are a DOCTOR, then HEAL today. If you are a PARENT, then PARENT today. If you are BLESSED, then BLESS someone today. Whatever it is that you claim to be... whatever title you love/value/cherish most about yourself... then DO it today in order to truly BE it and LIVE it. If you are a CHRISTIAN, then ......
