His love for golf led Jim to want to improve his game, but how? Frustrated, he bought a series of videos that claimed to be just what he needed. He would choose the perfect clubs and hit the ball like the pros. After three months, he couldn’t see much improvement.
Jim read books and asked advice. He watched every golf tournament on TV. Still, he seemed to be getting no better.
“How often do you play,” a friend asked as he putted for a birdie.
“Well it’s not like I can get out here every day. I do have a job, you know. And then there’s the wife and kids.”
“Reasons not to play are easy,” the friend said, “and if you make it once a month, that can be fun. But if you really want to get better, you should play at least nine holes every day.”
Writing is like learning any other skill. Attending seminars, reading books, and getting advice will help you write better, but only if you make time to write something every day.

    Forgot that important lesson: write something every day. Frank, Your book, Eyewitness, The life of Christ told in one story, has helped me greatly. I teach a ladies bible study class on Sunday mornings. We are studying John’s Gospel now and I was confused about when the baptism of Jesus took place. Your book explained it for me. Thank you.Dorothy
