Hill Country Thoughts
One heart, laid
bare, letting others know they are not alone if they know Jesus. It
beats inside Paul Dawn Jr., a prolific writer who created Hill
Country Thoughts to encourage people to walk more closely with the
Lord.
Every day, Dawn
pens his innermost thoughts about his journey as a Christian and all
that the Lord is teaching him. His honest and poignant writings tell
of his personal struggles, hard-won victories and the joys of learning
to trust and follow Jesus Christ.
“Hill Country
Thoughts is a ministry,” said Dawn, who lived in Junction, Texas for
nearly 30 years and now resides in Kennesaw, Georgia.“It’s a place
where people can come and be encouraged by hearing about the goodness
of the Lord. My hope is to exhort others, lift them up, and bring them
joy and laughter.”
Dawn, a freelance
writer and researcher, started Hill Country Thoughts in April 2004.
The Pinecrest Bible Training Center graduate says his site has
attracted more than 40,000 visitors. Many have come from other
countries — Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and
Malaysia, to name a few.
“I see the Lord
intertwining people together,” said Dawn. “We have been given a great
opportunity to use the Internet for the Lord. And we need more places
where believers can come for plain old fellowship. People need to know
there is hope in a world that seems to have very little.”
In addition to his
web page, Dawn also writes for the website Crossmap.com and is
co-moderator of Christian Writers Group (CWG). He also is a member of
The Christian Authors Guild in Woodstock, Georgia and as well as
a number of online writing groups.
Paul is a member
of Junction First United Methodist Church.
