Giving AI a Chance Part IV: Spiritual Themes

Greetings,

As I continue my jaunt through my AI experiments, I thought it would be fun to see what themes my AI tools could pull out of my newest novel, The Hope of Inheritance. While I am sure there are more than 10 in this story, I am actually pleased with the return. 

It has given me some ideas about what topics I can reflect upon in my new blog series, Reflecting on Hebrews. This is where I plan to outline my motivation behind what led to the birth of this story and ultimately to the award winning novel The Hope of Inheritance has become thanks to the ChristLit Books Awards.   

See you in the pages, or through AI's algorithm, 


M.J.E.

Reflecting on Hebrews: Finding a Quiet Place in a Loud World

 

♱♱♱

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.  ~ Hebrews 4:16 (NLT)

Life is stressful. The weight of it all can be crushing, and sometimes we just need a moment to step out from under the pressure. For me, that escape is a walk on the trails around my hometown. I've walked these paths in all kinds of emotional states—anxious, depressed, and sometimes so joyful I could almost skip. In these moments, when life's chaos threatens to overwhelm, I take a step back and just be alone. Finding these peaceful moments in the wild is how I embrace my surroundings and connect with God. It's the biggest source of calm for my mind.
