I have three wonderful grandchildren, Aidan, age 9…Gannon, age 7…and Quinn, age 4. They live eighty miles from our home, in Alabama. The distance is far enough so that, to them, it is like taking a vacation to come to our house. All three children are gifted intellectually beyond their years, and in other areas, as well. To them, the world is one huge science lab, and they are constantly learning about things such as insects, reptiles, birds, geology, and botany. Their parents, my daughter and son-in-law, see to it that the children have many books in their home library, and reading is a daily delight at their house.

While visiting a church recently, a severely obese pastor delivered a sermon. I had a tough time listening to the sermon about the failure of “Christians to witness.” I fell into the sin of judging him based on his obesity.

I’m only human and couldn’t help but wonder why there wasn’t a message being taught about taking care of the bodies God has given us.
Overeating seems to be one of the sins which most pastors, Christians, reverends, and priests overlook. If “gluttony is a sin,” why is “Christian America” one of the “fattest nations“? It’s a serious issue which is seldom discussed despite a growing number of “christian” based weight loss programs.

Molly: I would love to really visit Canada someday. Do you live in Alberta maybe or near there?
Cat: I live about a day’s drive from Alberta, and there’s another province between here and there. Niagara Falls is twice as far the other direction. But we have real cowboys here in Manitoba too. Did growing up country-style have any positive influences on your development as a writer? Any negative ones?

Molly Noble Bull with Cathi-Lyn Dyck
I went looking for stuff to drag home last week, and got into a conversation with author Molly Noble Bull. She just won a pretty cool award for her historical fiction book, Sanctuary. However, I’m from Canada, which prompted some questions in return.
Cat: Hi, Molly, and welcome to Humble O. Tell me the weirdest opinion you’ve heard out there lately. :~)

Writer…Interrupted was birthed out of my own need to connect with other writing moms. Though I found many wonderful mommy blogs that talked about raising families, none met my unique need of balancing a writing career with raising a family. Soon after I launched the Writer…Interrupted group blog I realized there were other writers, fathers, employees, caregivers, and students who were also interrupted in their writing.
