Fourteen years ago, I began this blog in the hopes that it would provide a meeting place with friends and readers where I could share my poetry and reflections on life and faith.

Dreamprayact.com has provided me with just such a place. However, in recent years, even with my retirement from full-time pastoral ministry and ostensibly more free time, I have not utilized this blog as I had expected.

So, it’s time for a writing reset. I will be discontinuing this blog. 

I am still writing, mostly poetry, and even submitting a few poems for possible publication. I continue to work on my craft and am finding new opportunities to learn through writing classes and groups. 

Who knows? Maybe I’ll get a poem or two published someday. Maybe I’ll even gather together a collection of poems that I can put out into the world.

My focus right now is simply to do more writing and to develop more of a daily discipline in my writing and reading. 

I’m not sure where any of this will lead, and in a way it doesn’t matter. The real value of writing is the time and effort I spend attending to what gives life meaning – beauty, friendship, love, family, community, honesty, grace. 

Thank you all for the times you have read and/or commented on what I have shared here.
