National Novel Writing Month (nanowrimo) is coming up in November. I tried last year and made it to about 25,000 words (out of 50,000 to finish) before I stopped. I’d like to try again this year, which I realize may be a little crazy with this next stage of my life so rapidly approaching, but I’m gonna at least see if its possible. Last year I wrote a rather sad attempt at a fantasy/LordoftheRingsesque story, and it just didn’t work out. I got bogged down in the details and the story really didn’t go anywhere, even after 25,000 words. Now I still have a slight bent toward a fantasy novel, but I’m thinking I might should try something else just to see what happens. I’ve toyed with the idea of doing a collection of short stories, but I’m not sure yet what they would be about. Is that lame? Anyone have any other suggestions for me?

Recently the Lord has been teaching me much of His desire for me to live and walk in the Spirit. The flesh (our worldly thoughts, desires, attitudes, understandings, etc) must be dealt with and done away with. We must die to self, daily. Jesus Christ had this to say about the flesh:
John 6:63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. There is much more I’d like to write on this topic, but I can’t seem to put it down… It is amazing to me how the Lord would teach me and confirm things to me by the simplest of things. Anyway, here’s a cool song that’s got some good lyrics. Clever and (I believe) true for anyone walking in the Spirit. (It’s Danielson, so it will probably weird out a lot of people, but seriously its great.) He talks about the house (our body/flesh) speaking and that we need only be listening to the “Holiest” of Ghosts (the Holy Spirit.) I think it is true that often many believers would mistake the voice of the soul, flesh, or mind for the Spirit. Also later he talks about the “deep physical pain.” It is your best friend because we should learn obedience through suffering, just as Christ did. (Obedience to whom? God the Father, and the Holy Spirit.) We should rejoice in pain and discipline because it shows our Father loves us and wants us to grow… Time to talk fleshly talkGet it off our skin
Gettin’ nervous!
And tense and talk about the bones and nerves
It’s a house of the Lord
It’s a house of the Holy Ghost,
But the house be speakin’ at times
Haunted house is bein’ tricky
You better only be hearin’ the Holiest of Ghosts. Look like a baby, once again
‘cause I’m sheddin’ my withered skin. The heart is right
The deep physical pain will run for life
The heart is hard
The deep physical pain will be your best friend. I said the heart is right,
please take a bite
It’s out of sight!
The heart is hard,
stone in your yard,
let down your guard!
Here’s some Star Wars on my new stylophone. I hesitate at the high note because I have move this switch at the bottom with my left thumb to change octaves. I don’t think its really made to do this, but it works alright if I can get the motion a little smoother. Now, aren’t you jealous of my awesome sounding retro pocket synth? You know you are…
From lips of children
You’ll be praised
We see the heavens raised
To make room for Your glory
Will make up song and hum
The details of your story Your years go through all generations
Why do You bother with mankind
Of old the prophets foretold You
In every household
Celebrating hearts aligned
