About the author
Ellen Debenport
4 books7 followersI was 8 years old when I whined to my mother, “I’m bored!” Schoolteacher that she was, she sat me down at the kitchen table and told me to write a poem. I wrote a dozen before bedtime. I’ve been writing ever since.
When I went to college, I was told writers majored in English or journalism. I wasn’t entirely sure what journalism was, but Journalism 101 was the class that clicked. After working on the campus newspaper at Baylor University and earning a journalism degree, I wrote and wrote and wrote, on deadline, starting with the police beat in Beaumont, Texas, and ending with the morass in Washington, D.C. Along the way, I covered everything from weather to high school basketball to hog markets for United Press International and focused mostly on politics at the Tampa Bay Times, covering campaigns for president and governor.
No one was more surprised than I when “the call” came for ministry. I’d always heard that term — he was “called” to ministry — and never believed it until it happened to me. It is a call, a voice within, a pull toward a life I never imagined from the press plane. Even after I began to hunger for spiritual connection in my 40s, I never expected it to yield a new career. But my spiritual path literally became my full-time job.
I was ordained in the Unity church in 1999, served as associate and senior minister at Unity of Dallas and now have a small church full of smart, delightfully wacky people in Wimberley, Texas, in the Hill Country outside Austin. They support me in writing and speaking about the power of the human spirit.
My work is intended to awaken people to their innate possibilities, inner resources and divine abilities, lighting their way through life’s difficulties and joys.
