Although I know it's rude, I always want to guffaw when a non-writer says, “You should write a book,” like they’d say, “You should eat another chocolate.”

For several years, sweet, loyal readers of my newspaper column told me this. I usually answered, “No, I shouldn’t.”
Then I’d laugh, “It takes a galaxy of work and time to write a book, then attempt to get it published.”
They’d laugh along with me. But I knew they didn’t understand. I’d think, “They have no idea.”

Then one day the Lord grabbed my attention in a surprising way, forcing me to reconsider.
Please join me Friday to discover how God turned my “No” to a “Yes.”
