Only four more days to enter the Thanksgiving poetry contests.
If you want free copies of This is the Feast and How to Drive Your Sister Crazy, now is the time to get in the game.
We have some lovely entries, already, but can always use more.
I'm Sally Apokedak, and I
live with my son and my
daughter and my old, old
mother, in the lovely city of
Atlanta.
Born to missionary
parents, I spent my early
years in Taiwan. By the time
I was six, I'd been around
the world. The wanderlust
I acquired early followed me
into adult life, taking me to
work in places as far-flung as
Barrow, Alaska, and Santa
Cruz, Bolivia.
My most fulfilling job,
though, was staying home,
taking care of my family. My
husband was a quadriplegic
and we adopted two children.
You can read more about
me on my bio page.
I'm represented by
Reclaim Management.

You are the Potter, I am the Clay
Thank you, God, for making me poor,
so that I could learn to appreciate what I have.
Thank you for hard work,
which teaches me the value of rest.
Thank you for illness,
giving me a true empathy for others.
Thank you for difficulty,
placing before me opportunities to grow.
Thank you for weakness,
forcing me to draw on your unfailing strength.
Thank you for mistakes I’ve made,
causing me to seek your wisdom.
Thank you, God, for who you are,
and who you’ve molded me to be.
