I came late to writing. For five years I worked in computing, then joined an agency for Bible translation. I worked in West Africa for about 10 years, then came to Dallas, to work as Senior Editor of a series of Bible commentaries. I never would have believed that writing could be so much fun :) I started to write more creatively as part of my journaling. The poems below are the first I have ever written (or at least since I was about 8 years old.)
