Hi I’m Jimmy. I edit the words in this section every few years. Today I am a Curate at a wonderful Anglican Church in Charleston, SC and teach freshmen composition and rhretoric at a Christian University after finishing a fine arts degree in fiction. I finished a novel, but have not sold it or published it. I am teaching in a world where most people want to write less and have AI write things for them and I am living and ministering in world of still broken humans of which I am one. Thanks be to God He is reconciling the world to Himself.
What was written before: Today I am in a writing program and feel in some ways an aspect of my life’s journey has restarted. Over the next year I hopefully will finish a novel and enter into a season of life that feels like it will be fruitful for a long time. I don’t know if that is possible, but I am still hopeful.
And the time before that: I have been rebuilding and have found a lot of joy and goodness in the process.The Spirit of God began a healing process in my that I’m excited to walk in more deeply and hopefully share over time. Hopefully, there is more good to be found as what is built up is more beautiful and sober and structurally sound. I believe this to be true
And the time before that: I’m finding that sometimes when you try to pick up broken pieces or rebuild what’s been lost, sometimes things break more and you become more lost. This blog used to be about rebuilding from the rubble. There are times when life lacks color and injustice seems to prevail. I am finding that certain things in life I am too weak or insufficient to repair. Maybe you are there. For now I am finding rest in the mess of what’s left.
I cherish memories, stories, and you. Let’s use our words to connect.
