Today was another really good day! I "went" to the online service for my church, House of Blessing. The whole thing was really good, but the most meaningful part to me was the song "Here Again". (This link is to a different but also excellent version, in case you just want to listen to the song without searching through the whole church service for it.) I'd heard and sung it many times, but the lyrics were never so meaningful as they were to me today, shut in a room away from everyone and everything as I am:
I'm not enough/Unless you come./Will you meet me here again?/'Cause all I want Is all you are./Will you meet me here again?/Not for a minute/Was I forsaken./The Lord is in this place./The Lord is in this place./Come, Holy Spirit,/Dry bones awaken./The Lord is in this place./The Lord is in this place.
Later I finished up some other tasks on my to-do list and finally had time for something I'd wanted to do since I arrived: working on my new series (working title: The Wolves of Cedar Crossing - yes, it's about werewolves!). That is, I didn't actually start drafting the series yet, but I read back through some of the many ideas about characters and plot that I'd brainstormed a while back and organized them more logically. Now I have a better idea of what needs to happen in book one. I hope to work on it a little every day for the rest of my quarantine and hopefully actually start drafting some scenes before I leave.
Here are today's meals:
I settled down to dinner with my Kindle, but after reading for a few minutes, I decided that God's art gallery outside was much more interesting than the book. The sky kept changing as clouds drifted across the setting sun, turning gold at the edges as the sky turned orange. The picture doesn't really show how awesome it was, so you'll have to take my word for it!

Werewolves is certainly a new theme for you. We look forward to understanding more of your story line and maybe reasons for choosing that theme.
