If you wish to share your blessings, knowledge, or God's glory with others on the net, promote your book, articles or ministry, or just stretch your writing muscles; perhaps you'd like to contribute your work here. There are opportunities for columns(3 articles a year) or just a one at a time publication. All work is contributory. It is protected by your copyright symbol (c) name and date, and by the copyright of this publication. There is no 100% fail proof way to protect your work, but these are good measures to take. I do not archive your work, so it is removed from internet browsing within a few months. By submitting your work in this way, you are acknowledging this, and that your work may become available to the public without your knowledge or permission. This is a choice. If you wish to read and copy these guidelines, you can click here: Submissions Guidelines


Unsolicited material is not accepted by this website. Please query. Only a limited number of submissions with queries will be read due to time limitations. Do not send as an attachment until you first mail and ask. When attached, please send the complete story double-spaced, grammar and spell-checked. Unsolicited attachments or full manuscripts mailed in the form will be discarded. (those known to me are excluded from this requirement) Be sure to write 'submission' in your subject line. Be sure to sign and date your work. You will be asked to reply with your 'signed' permission (email is fine) to use your work, supply your complete address and phone number, and a confirmation number for my personal verification. Your personal information will not be used otherwise. All departments follow a "seeds for planting . . .truth, faith, trust, encouragement, inspiration, motivation, recovery- etc " and should be focused on the writer's needs.

*IMPORTANT! We are adopting a stronger focus on the writer's needs, and need practical useful tips. All essays should have a strong tie to practical answers for writer's needs, as well as spiritual applications; such as obedience, discipline, prayer life, God's will or timing, commitment, inspiration, meditation, recovery, more.

Please don't be preachy, but do share the truth of Jesus Christ from a personal experience point of view, and please refrain from using phrases like : "You should" and "You need to". Instead, use your own experience as the example, saying "I needed to", "I discovered", or "I learned". Using "We" in some instances is acceptable.

Please be very careful to do your own editing. I have little time to do much grammatical, spelling or typing correction. If an article needs a lot of revising, I will have to send it back to you. Revisions may be acceptable.

Your short bio will be included, and any book promotion may be added to the Authors Report page. You may send your article via my email form - Your email address is protected in some measure by separating the name - @ (at) and the isp name (light.net).

Your address and phone will not be listed for your own protection, except in the case of an event. It is recommended that you use a post office box number, or alternate email address / phone numbers whenever possible.
