How does a terminally curious child who grew up relishing books about inventors and scientists, and made engineering and computers his career choice, end up in mid-life as an author of Christian fiction?

It took many years, but I finally realized the allure was story. The creative exploits of Edison and Ford, the heady accounts of space exploration and medical marvels ... well, it drew me in like a magnet.

Light bulbs and penicillin were not simply made, but rather born of struggle, inspiration, passion, and sometimes even Providence.

List the major plot points, create an outline, capture an anecdote, pen the first paragraph or chapter - do something to move your idea forward and provide the momentum you need to believe you can really do it.

Discipline yourself! Carve out a time of day when your creative juices are flowing and commit to writing something everyday during that time. (My goal is to get up at 4am Monday through Friday to work on my next novel a few hours before work. It's not easy, but the rest of my day seems so much brighter when I've managed even a few hundred words that morning.)

Start small! Writing an entire book is daunting, so begin by writing articles, skits or short stories to practice and gain confidence. Churches, organizational newsletters and small town newspapers love to use local talent.

Get involved! Join a writers group to gain feedback and encouragement. Google " writing groups" to see what's available.

Learn! Read books about writing and enroll in classes at local colleges or through specialized organizations. (I graduated from the apprentice-level program offered by the Christian Writers Guild.)(less)

Transformative Change: a communion meditation

In the opening verses of Luke 19, we read the following:

Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.

When Jesus reached the spot
