A little while back I wrote "Unleash Your Secret Copywriter" and announced a contest for best tagline/slogan and Scripture verse to capture the spirit of BRMCWC 2011. Quite a few of you joined in the fun. Some suggested just a slogan; others just a Scripture verse. Several of you did both. A few people gave not one tagline idea but a dozen at a time. What fun.
Less fun, is choosing a winner. There were so many good ideas that I've had trouble making up my mind. I sought advice from others and finally narrowed it down.
Drumroll please . . .
The slogan for Blue Ridge 2011 comes from Lindsay Banton: Write courageously.
The Scripture theme was submitted by Lori Stanley Roeleveld: "We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thessalonians 1:3 NIV)
The passage epitomizes the roll of the Christian writer. Our works comes from our faith; out labor is fueled by love for God and the people of the world; and we endure (persist) because of the hope we have in Jesus.
Congrats to Lindsay and Lori. Just as soon as I get their mailing addresses, I'll be sending an autographed book their way.
Thank you to everyone who participated. There were so many good ideas.

Thanks! That's my "writing" life verse!

Congratulations to Lindsey and Lori! I love those choices (great job, Al!). They really spell out what we're all about. Can't wait to see old friends - and meet new ones at the 2011 BRMCWC.

This Scripture subject was submitted by Lori Stanley Roeleveld: "We consider before our God and Father your work generated by trust, your task encouraged by love, and your endurance encouraged by expect in our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thessalonians 1:3 NIV)
Proverbs 17:9
Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.
