Grace!

08/09/2011 By Ellen Beals Leave a Comment

This past Sunday we felt the grace of Grace Place where Solace in So Many Words was the topic at the adult formation hour.  Grace Place is the name for the first floor meeting room of Grace Episcopal Church, which is a storefront church with a second floor sanctuary.  Chicago writers might be familiar with Grace Place because it is a venue during Printers Row Lit Fest.

  On Friday, July 29, from 5 to 6 pm CT, I had the privilege of speaking with Ben Merens on his "At Issue" show.  What a great experience!  On the top of the list of great things was getting to meet Ben who was cordial, kind and full of interesting stories that he shared on and off the air.  You won't have to listen too long to this interview to realize that Ben is someone who thinks deeply about life and appreciates it.  Along with callers, Ben and I discussed … [Read more...]
