SAVE THE CHILDREN PART 2 - ANTHOLOGY

-

Welcome to the second part of 'Save The Children' blogs. The eagle eyed amongst may have spotted a view discrepancies. Finally new technology has now decided that it is playing ball, and hopefully  this blog will read smoothly, than the first. If you're reading the second part before the first part, stop turn around and read part one before part two and hopefully the two should link in.

In the first blog, we went on the journey of Save the Children and it's founder's Eglantyne Jebb and Dorothy Buxton. Quite interestingly it was only two years ago I discovered the local connection. I you told in the first of these blogs I had something very special to share with you, well its exciting for me at least.

Back in July of this year, my best friend introduced me to a poetry page on Facebook called 'invisible poets'; it has been a really blessing to me as a writer, finding a community where upon I can  get to share my work and hear some amazing poetry. On the 4th September I received an email to say my poems had got into 'Wheelsong Poetry Anthology.' Would you consider to buy into the Wheelsong vision? Poetry against poverty!

On 19 September 2023 'Wheelsong Poetry Anthology 3' will be released; which features some of my poems and will be my first time featured in an Anthology. Money from the sale of this book will go directly to 'Save The Children'. It will be available through Amazon and other outlets mentioned.

Three pounds can feed a malnourished child for a month. Three pounds can buy two sterile birthing kits. Three pounds stretches along way for the relief of deprivation or disaster. Every three pound profit reached from every Wheelsong Poetry Anthology sold on Amazon.

Dear reader would you consider purchasing a copy of Wheelsong Anthologys and help children in crisis, through the work of 'Save The Children.' Christmas is fast approaching, so maybe this could be a Christmas present option for your friends and family.

This is definitely getting my foot on the ladder, helping towards my goal of producing my own book of poetry and short stories. Finally congratulations must also go to friends Claire Sutton and Sarah Sansbury in also featuring in this Anthology.

And there it is the rest as they say is up to you. Take care thanks for reading, please don't forget that you can leave a comment below, so go buy yourself a copy.

TAKE A BREAK

"Hi, how are you, how you doing?...." I can't believe it's been a week since I boarded a train to Criccieth at 9am. I know God was in it especially train travel and meeting new people (no anxiety - ptl). At 1am Sunday I wrote my story plus another little story (I don't write stories, so watch this space), Making it 8 stories written since last years retreat. I met some amazing fellow Christian writers, old and friends; some I've only met via a screen.  Have  you ever heard of the Biblical friends Mary and Martha. Mary, is the artistic poetic philosopher, who is thrilled to just bask in the moment. She is stirred, thrilled, touched and inspired by the presence of Jesus. Maratha, is certainly a doer, she worked her fingers to the bone in her super-efficient way. Yet, here in the story, Jesus rebukes Martha, It’s a gentle rebuke. I guess I've been a bit of Maratha always doing and finding it to rest.  "There was long moments of stillness and silence.&quo

KINGS WRITER IN PROGRESS

I'm currently sitting on a train heading home after a fabulous 5 days at Criccieth on a christian writers retreat, this is the second year I've been. What a fabulous bunch of creative writers that I've had the blessing of sharing fellowship with and God even blessed us with glorious weather. I  believe I was the only poet amongst the story tellers. I soon discovered that didn't matter as we all write in different genre's, it has one central purpose; we are ' Kingdom Writers', we write to glorify the name of Jesus to our peers and communities. One thing or one word even that was very evident to me was the word 'wait', it appeared at least once in every session. Yes I have all material (actually to much), I'm the person who wants it out now; but perhaps right now isn't the write time. Over the few days I discovered it's a mine field out there in the publishing world, something that is still alien to me. Weather it's next year or in twe

The book of Psalms is an anthology of Hebrew hymns. In the Jewish and Western Christian traditions, there are 150 psalms, The book is divided into five sections, each ending with short verse or a hymn of praise. There are several types of psalms, including songs of praise, communal and individual laments, royal psalms, imprecation, and individual thanksgivings. The book also includes psalms of communal thanksgiving, wisdom, pilgrimage. While many of the psalms contain attributions to King David and other Biblical figures including Asaph, the sons of Korah, and Solomon. The book of Psalms is found in the middle of the bible. The middle psalm is psalm 118:8-9; It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes . The longest psalm is Psalm 119 with 176 verses; that would take awhile to read the whole 176 verses in one go. The shortest psalm in the bible if found in 117 which only contains two verses
