The Journey Continues - Richard Jones - Bog

It is a pure pleasure for me to be writing again. Fourteen years of being involved in teaching and school administration have claimed most of my hours and focus. My desire to write turned into thoughts of "someday..." or "next year I''m gonna...". With departure from the business of the classroom, I once again have the freedom to commit myself to putting pen to paper (or I should say, "fingers to keyboard"). William Faulkner wrote, "It is the writer''s privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart." That is my desire, and I appreciate your allowing me to be a small part of the "heart-lifting" process in your life. Since my last project, I have had several requests to write a sequel, a second prayer devotional. A discussion with my late father ended with a commitment to do so. It is with pleasure that I honor that commitment. Much of what I write is never seen by anyone but the Lord and me, but written words can live on as long as there are readers to see them. Michael Straczynski called it "immortality by proxy."
