What a stunning mark of beauty! I'm reminded that setting/creating the space is the work; the Spirit will take care of the rest.

All that beauty! Wish I'd been there. But it was enough to read this and see the pictures. I'm inspired thinking that our Creator still speaks to and through creatives. Even the "shy" writers.

More unnecessary abundance, please. It’s feeling more and more necessary these days.

Extremely interesting! I just had a chapbook of Christian poems accepted by a publisher. I had no idea that Inkwell also was interested in Christian writing. I will keep that in mind for future writing. That dinner sounded wonderful....and useful.

So grateful for what you all are doing. May this be the first of many such gatherings around the country—and the world!

Good, really good, to see faith + creativity forming communities. Brilliant.

One suggestion.

Based on the photographs of the event (the reportage is lovely Elizabeth), Inkwell please do think about involving a wider range of ages, not as some inclusivity stunt but because this reflects the life we have been given and the God who lives in us in these years and over a 20-30-40-50-60-70-80-90-100 lifetime. Centenarian’s are rare but oh what uncommon stories they could share with us! Think broadly!

And I have enjoyed a number of Inkwells posts so thank you.
