  • Maybe Disney Isn’t the Only Problem – Maybe the Real Problem is Us
    Posted on Thursday, April 21st, 2022 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: children's movies, Christian writers, creative storytellers, Disney, fairy tales, faith, Jesus, LGBTQ, storytelling, truth

    People don’t like preachy stories. That’s what Christian writers hear all the time. Avoid preaching! Focus on telling a great story! Beware of agenda-driven writing! If you want to make a point, write an essay or a non-fiction book but keep your stories pure. Your biblical worldview will infuse them organically so leave the message …[ read more ]

  • Maybe You Can’t Handle the Truth
    Posted on Tuesday, May 21st, 2019 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writers Conference, confrontation, hard conversations, John the Baptist, perseverance, prophecy, truth, writers

    “I’ve read the story you sent me. It’s not good. Try another form of writing.” A literary agent sent that comment in response to my first attempt at fiction. “You don’t even know what you’re trying to say, Lori. Until you do, you shouldn’t try to get someone to publish you.” Words from one of the first …[ read more ]

    Posted on Thursday, May 12th, 2016 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: compromising the truth, God's Word, Love, mirror, mirror mirror on the wall, reaching the world for Christ, reflecting Jesus, truth, wicked queen

    I’ve been looking in all the wrong mirrors, but I’m done now. Mirrors can deceive. Stores install trick mirrors designed to make clothing appear more flattering. Carnivals line the walls of their fun-houses with warped mirrors that distort our perception. Magicians use mirrors carefully angled to create illusions that mystify and delude the audience. Cracked …[ read more ]

  • The Light Shines in the Darkness
    Posted on Friday, December 25th, 2009 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: darkness, death, deception, John 14, light, Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord, the life, the plan of salvation, truth

    Father? Yes, my child? This is a very dark place that you have sent me. Yes, I know. You are the Light. The people here are lost. Yes, I know. You are the Way. They believe lies about you. I know. You are the Truth. There is the stench of death all around. You are …[ read more ]

    Lori, Our Lord never ceases to amaze.. you have succeeded in disturbing this Hobbit! I have been struggling with spiritual apathy and indifference recently and reading your witty, convicting, engaging, infuriating writings has helped me to realize that I am in good company. They have also given me the kick-start I need to get off my laurels! Keep looking up..keep going on for the Lord dear sister-in-Christ!
