SWA on SSI 2016

This past weekend was a blast at the Southeastern Writer’s Conference at Epworth by the Sea on beautiful St. Simons Island. Yes, I went back to my homeland and enjoyed every second.

MINISTERING TO THE WORLD SINCE 1950  

Stormy weather in Atlanta had me missing the festivities Friday evening, but I made up for it by treating myself to Southern Soul BBQ! They have Habanero Peach Hot Sauce. Wow! Then I had to go see the water. East Beach has changed so much with the tides!

Saturday started with a bang! I got to meet some of the coolest people with immense talent. Lots of pics to share!

Hope to be back next year! Big thanks to Epworth by the Sea, Amy Munnel, Buzz Bernard, Dr. John House, Patrick Hempfing, Lee Clevenger, Sandra and Dawn for super entertainment and keeping us smiling the whole time, and Tim Hudson. It was an honor to be asked to participate.

For all those new friends, hope to receive your submissions.
