Many writers figure out what's going on in their own lives by journalling. As Christian writers, daily writing, i.e. journalling, can be a spiritual benefit for each of us. You point out that by sharing our insights and stories about how God is working in our lives, and in the world, we are offering our readers a spiritual benefit.<br /><br />While reading your thoughts about how we might write to entertain, educate and inspire, I had a flashback to when Phil Calloway was our keynote speaker for InScribe Fall Conference a few years ago. In his speaking and in his writing, Phil entertains, educates and inspires at the same time. May God help use the gifts he has given us to bring joy, wisdom, and blessing to our readers.Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-77225720716853205662018-04-05T09:17:41.661-07:002018-04-05T09:17:41.661-07:00Thank you Susan for this piece-exactly what I need...Thank you Susan for this piece-exactly what I needed to hear. I've been pondering again some of my purposes for writing. I also appreciate the advice to listen ... I wrote Listen three times in my notebook. Sharing stories is paramount for encouraging others on the journey. This was write on for me today :)<br />Jocelyn Fairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15767357831759356035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-34807344951745172222018-04-04T09:07:02.098-07:002018-04-04T09:07:02.098-07:00I love the way you broke it down into three such i...I love the way you broke it down into three such important but different categories: entertain, educate, and inspire. I agree that 'entertaining' is a valid reason to write. Tracy Krausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066853243062725525noreply@blogger.com
