I think of God as very accepting, deeply loving, incredibly long-suffering.
So I think and also I think of God as somebody who is really infinitely creative.
And that helps me because I don't really believe in writer's block.
Why not?
I think if I am made in the image of God, that means that I too am infinite.
And that sounds like such a crazy thing to say, but I guess I really believe it.
And it's always helped me to get through impossible situations.
Like I've been in so many bizarre, impossible situations where I don't even understand how I got there.
And it's really helped me to think if I'm meant to be here, I'm meant to be here and somehow I'll have the resources to figure it out or some answer will come.
What do you like most about being a Presbyterian?
I like this idea, the dynamic between free will and predestination.
It's a really difficult thing that Presbyterians and Calvinists believe that somehow you can have free will and yet there's also, there's a divine plan and things occur the way they're meant to.
So very often I approach my life as I try to honor my wishes.
And if it doesn't work out,
That's okay.
And you read a chapter of the Bible every day.
Is that true?
So I read somewhere that Willa Cather did this.
And I don't know if Willa Cather is a Christian, but because I like her writing, I thought I would try it.
