My friendships that have developed with many bloggers in enjoyable. Over the years, many of us become friends even though we have never met personally. That has been one of the benefits of posting articles and reading those of others.
One of those friendships has been with Sandra Conner. She has a variety of topics she writes about on various blogs, plus she has authors several books.
From her “Frustration” post, she was at a blank as to what to write. So, she wrote her poem:
“I am a writer.
Yes, I am; I know I am.
So why is it that
I’m so often in this jam?I start new novels;
Then, alas, the muse runs dry.
Three novels just sit,
And I have no idea why.I am a writer.
I’ve said it o’er and o’er again.
“I am a writer!”
Pounding, pounding through my brain.Since writing novels
Doesn’t seem to work just now,
I’ll write a poem.
They’re much prettier anyhow.
I replied with this:
Yep! I know a little bit about that.
I’m a blogger, but can’t seem to blog.
At times, mind is in a fog.
So here I sit on a log.
Wishing I could come up with a blog.

I think we all are at times confronted with not knowing what to do about something. Those of us who blog know about that. Even others hit blank walls about what to do about some issue.
Thankfully, God’s Word gives great answers for those times. One passage in particular helps us:
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.” (James 1:5-6 KJV)

I’m thankful that on this blog, there are other writers who seem to step in there with an article just when my mind is blank. Yeah! Thanks to Dr. Jim, William Wise, Emily, Golden Eagle, and all the others that have contributed here and on Birds of the Bible for Kids.
Well worded, Lee, as LEESBIRD’s host,
If I could just contribute a post —
But this blog features birds,
so I’ll write fair of some fowl.
Yet for that I need words,
maybe post on an owl…?

How you come up with these poems,
Nobody knows.
Since I’m drawing a bird poetry blank,
I’ll stick to prose.

Yes Lee I have had times when I have felt I had nothing to share and then the Lord would drop an idea into my mind, as he often does, and produce a blog different to the usual.

Isn’t that the truth. Still praying for you all down there. Trust the fires are staying away from you all.
