The "Ah" Factor

The Long Bridge is one of the many beautiful things to be found in this lovely community in which we live.

It has been said that there is an "ah" factor associated with the structure. Newcomers crossing the bridge are overcome by the beauty of the mountains and the lake and find it impossible not to say, "Ah, how lovely."

Locals who cross the bridge sigh and say, "Ah, I can't believe I live in such a glorious place." Our group of writers understand the "ah" factor very well. It is what we hope for when people read our work. It is our dream when our words touch them. It is our delight when they say, "Ah, what a wonderful way to put that."

As Christians, we feel called to write, it is our ministry and our passion. The styles and genre interests of the ACW Sandpoint group are different but there is one thread that weaves itself strongly through this diverse collection of writers-the thread of commitment. We are committed to putting words to the page that will bring hope and joy, laughter and tears, conviction and comfort to all our readers. It is our deepest desire to bring the reader closer to the nature of God in our writing, even if the word "God" isn't anywhere to be found on the page.

We invite you to peruse our posts. It is our prayer that our writing will move beyond the bridge and into the hearts of all who read our work.
