Too Wise to Grow Up

Bridgett — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 16:08:44 +0000

“When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things [1 Cor. 13:11], including the fear of childishness.” — C. S. Lewis

My thanks to Speculative Faith (http://www.speculativefaith.com), a blog for those who write or enjoy Christian science fiction and fantasy, for posting this quote. Those who know me, know how well it fits!

It’s Alive!

Bridgett — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 12:00:33 +0000

I promised myself i’d keep up with this blog, so I’d never have to write one of those “sorry it’s been so long” posts. Then, I fell right off the edge of the World Wide Web! No blogging, no tweets, very little Facebooking. Why? When I last wrote, it was to announce the winners of [...]

Unknownland Unmasked!

Bridgett — Fri, 25 May 2012 19:08:36 +0000

We have a winner! ….or two. The results are in. The “Name-a-country Contest” has succeeded. The final realm of the Seven Lands has found its way onto the map, with your help! The contest entries read like a collection of mini stories. The ideas were so creative and well-imagined, I couldn’t settle on just one. [...]

Graduating or Growing Dim?

Bridgett — Wed, 23 May 2012 18:46:28 +0000

‘Tis the season for diplomas, cardboard caps, and “Pomp and Circumstance”. At least eight of my friends and family members are graduating from High school or college this month. Recently, I’ve felt a deep longing to graduate too. Not from an academic institution, but to new levels in my faith and in the craft of [...]

The Deadline Approaches!

The clock is ticking, brilliant namers of countries! You have until the clock strikes midnight on the morrow to enter the Name-a-country Contest and win the mystery prize. The ideas are flowing in, and they are certainly intriguing. Who will win? What will Unknownland be dubbed? Who inhabits this realm shrouded in ambiguity? What prize [...]

Getting Noticed

Bridgett — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:50:42 +0000

Exposure: 1. presentation to view, especially in an open or public manner. 2. appearance or presentation before the public, as in theater, on television, or in films. 3. (in photography) the intensity of light falling on a photographic film or plate, multiplied by the time for which it is exposed. I was having dinner with friends and [...]

Tribute to Mom

Bridgett — Fri, 11 May 2012 14:09:14 +0000

It may be cliche to say that no words can describe who my mother is to me, no song can express the emotions her name awakens in my heart, no painting can capture the beauty of her spirit. But, there you have it. Still, the writer in me had to try. Here, in the words [...]

Scribe’s Playlist: Learning to Be the Light

Bridgett — Thu, 10 May 2012 17:54:47 +0000

A dark object may block a beam of light, but let that light find the tiniest opening and…Wow! The beam breaks through to spread wider and cover more ground than it did before encountering the obstacle! Same goes for us, when we allow God’s Light to shine through us despite past, circumstance, or even other [...]

Diffraction: #4 Jesus’ Light In Action

Bridgett — Wed, 09 May 2012 15:55:49 +0000

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything to this series: Jesus’ Light In Action. For those unfamiliar with this group of posts: in it, I delve into the properties and workings of natural light to gain insight into how Jesus’ love and power are manifested in our lives. The Bible repeatedly refers to God [...]
