Your fellow Guild Members are calling you to action!! This is what these posts have in common, and it’s also what Catholic writers have in common. We are making demands, in a way, upon our readers. That may be why we don’t have so many readers! It also may be why we avoid reading what others write.
But I think we should take it as a challenge that, since we are writers, we must also be readers. Not only readers, followers, aware of what’s being said, but responders, actors, accepting these demands as an invitation to grow our freedom – our sphere of response-ability. If nothing else (and it is most certainly NOT the ‘last resort’!), PRAY over each piece you read, and see if God will nudge you to any other actions.
Kassie Ritman has a writing assignment for us all, and I think we should take her up on it!
Larry Peterson‘s post is a tough one to read, but if we writers can’t write the tough stuff, who will??
My (Charlotte Ostermann) September guest post was a great new chance to tell an ongoing story.
Thanks Charlotte, you are right on target for all of us. Thanks for the reminder. As an additional note, if you (we) find a piece that we like don’t hesitate to put the link on your FB page or tweet it. No FB page, think about getting one. We believers are supposed to be in the public square and these days, the social media is the public square!
How blessed I am to be a member of the CWG whose gifted members so generously share their talent and passion. All three of this month’s submissions should be widely shared.
Whoa!
What a round up this month! We must have all been in a “mood.” Such serious, thought provoking, and sometimes foreboding articles.
So much to consider, and so many reasons to celebrate the faith that holds us up!
