GUEST BLOGGER

Few in the writing world have not heard of my guest blogger this week. Edie Melson is a writer's cheerleader and encourager and has such a wealth of knowledge about the writing and publishing world that practically anything she says or writes is a nugget of gold. 

Her recently-published goldmine is a book entitled, Soul Care for Writers, published by Bold Vision Books. Edie helps the reader find Soul Care solutions using devotions and prayers and opportunities for creative expression. As a result, the reader develops a deeper relationship with God and embraces rest for a weary soul. 










One of my favorite devotions Edie included in her book reminded me that "God takes the scenic route." I love a scenic route, as is evidenced by my blog that focuses on lessons from God's creations. 

Edie loves God's lessons in nature, too, and she especially loves photographing His creations. If you follow along with her blogs and other postings, you'll find many of her personal photos of God's masterpieces.

Be sure to check out those blogging nuggets and Edie's new book goldmine, and make a daily habit of looking for God's magnificent nature treasures, too.

Finding God in Nature

by Edie Melson @EdieMelson

Being outdoors fills me up. Nature reminds me of God's infinite creativity and love. How about you?
