How do you express your gratitude?
Very simply, I say “Thank You!” I also write thanks to God in my journal and think “thank you” in my prayers. I may be moved to offer a gift to someone who has encouraged me, too.
I think it might to fun to write a song of thanks!

What are you most worried about for the future?
Anxiety creeps up in me when I consider the evil in the world, my country, my city. As a citizen I have some small power to vote and to speak up and to love, but the evil is greater than I am. But when I remember that Jesus is Lord over all the earth, and meditate on the Bible verse, “Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world,” I can relax.
If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?

My childhood favorite book was The Little Engine that Could. Perhaps you read that one when you were a little kid? I was about three when it was read to me, and I memorized it until I could read it on my own. This was the book that let me know that I wanted to be a writer when I grew up and encourage people to use all their power until they achieve their goals.
