Writing Again

My computer debacle last week sort of sidelined any work on the book, but tonight I felt the need to sit down and type away. It feels good to get some things down "on paper" again and it was a good night of writing. I keep coming up with new ideas for chapters, but I'm also finding that there's a lot of overlapping. Tonight I wrote about five pages on a chapter that's all about the prodigal son. I like what Henri Nouwen says about the subject: we tend to forget that the prodigal son had to retrace his steps back home. It's not necessarily any easier on the return trip.
