History behind
Legacy Lines
"Somehow, after you nearly lose your life,
you realize the value in something that God has given you."
That thought came ringing home loud and clear to me, after my horrific car accident, in October 2014, which left me with a splintered leg and a disabled foot. It was during those mending up days a year later that I began and finished my first writing project. I’ve come to the conclusion that if I, just your “average Joe” can do it anybody can.
Our greatest legacy is the lines we leave behind for our future generations not yet born.
My name is Shelby Luse, SOA (Servant On Assignment) and founder of Legacy Lines. I have been a Christian since 1971. After my graduation from Valley Forge Christian College in 1978, I lived in Atlanta, Georgia. Later after getting married to Lisa we moved to the Dominican Republic, where we were missionaries with Youth With A Mission.
Putting the pen to paper
Writing, sounds like an impossible assignment. However, as corny as this may sound writing your own book is like painting a picture. Take the images you remember from your life, paint them with your pen and paper. The picture may not come out the way Mark Twain would paint it. The canvass may not have the vibrant splash of Nathaniel Hawthorne. But it’s your story, your legacy, that’s all that matters.
The way I judge a good book or web-site is by the pictures they engender into my mind.
I guarantee you, if you hang out with us here at Legacy Lines and read our short stories and blogs that you are going to go away with pictures that will make your book idea a great one.
“You don’t have to be rich or famous to write your autobiography. In fact, you may think your life is one big snore that nobody would find interesting. That’s where you’re wrong.” – Weave and Leave a Legacy, Shelby Luse
