Our imaginations will be doxological or diabolical Our imaginations will be doxological or diabolical. Neutrality is a myth. "You gotta serve somebody.

Amid all the chaos in the world, the faith-breakin Amid all the chaos in the world, the faith-breaking and crippling divisions, what are we sharing with our kids? I’m more committed than ever to giving gifts of light to children surrounded by darkness. I’m more committed than ever to the belief that telling truthful stories, including depiction of REALLY bad enemies who are evil and need to be defeated, not just “understood better,” is vital. This weekend I'm showing up in South Carolina to do what I'm called to: share stories of bravery. Stories to make us brave. Stories that threaten the darkness with little sparks of light that may grow into great blazes in the hearts of children. I’m on a mission to love and serve kids. Families. Your family. Your kids. I'm on your side. #storiestomakeusbrave #rabbitswithswords #thegreenember #sdsmith #sdsmithbooktour #wvauthor

Most of the time people think of Appalachia in gen Most of the time people think of Appalachia in general, and West Virginia in particular, as a place where anyone who can leave does leave. They see it as a place of need where kind people go to help the poor, unfortunate souls stuck here. That’s kind of true and we are grateful for everyone who comes with a generous heart of love. But we also have something to give, something to share, and we grow when we have a chance to see ourselves as servants instead of victims. The victim narrative is so seductive (for us and many others), but it’s an impotent story and we need to show up in love and—with humility and dependence on God—get to work shaping our own story. That’s certainly my heart for our state, and one of the main reasons I’m so committed to staying here and being part of—not only helping us grow—but also give. This weekend I'll be at HopeWords, a writers conference that invites world-class thinkers and writers to help imagine the work of New Creation, in Bluefield, West Virginia. (About an hour from my hometown.) We’ll start believing better once we get on the job of serving others with the gifts we have been given. The first step is gratitude and wonder at what we have. #hopewords #sdsmithbooktour #WestVirginia #almostheaven #appalachia #hopewordswritersconference HopeWords Writers' Conference @hopewordsconf
