ACFW 2019 Report
I find that if I truly want
to become a better writer,
then happiness must be my vaunt,
to bid my heart be lighter.
There are no prizes for dismay
or lurid sufferings thus evoked;
’tis optimism wins the day,
and let drama take a joke.
Art must be like life withal,
and though the days be serious
there can be joy before the fall,
sincere and not delirious
for tragedy requires loss,
and God Himself has paid that cost.
Thank you. This was great! I always enjoy your podcasts.
