Peace
to all who enter here
Feel free to enter any door below,
and may your stay here at Springhaven refresh your soul.
Scriptorium - My lifework of writing takes place here. Come on in and read over my shoulder or dip into one of my published books. |
The Bard - Pull up a straw bale or lay down your cloak and make yourself comfortable as you listen to the storyteller. |
Great Hall - The social life of a castle was centered in the Great Hall. My family is gathered here. Come in and visit! Don't forget to sign the guestbook as evidence of your stay. |
Chapel - The heart of Springhaven, the Chapel is where you go to be alone with God. There are Bible texts, prayers, and devotionals here, along with the story of how God led me into the ministry of writing and speaking for Him. Come in, be still, and know that He is God. |
Solarium - The sunny "ladies' workroom" of castles, this is where textile arts are created. Come and learn about spinning, weaving, lacemaking, and my family (Montgomery) tartan. |
Workshops - Built into and along the walls of the courtyard were the cooperage, the smithy, the woodworking shops, etc. Come in here to see the heritage pieces Les Kovacs creates. |
Everyone needs a haven, and in our hectic lives, safe places are few and far between. My prayer is that my writings, both fiction and nonfiction, may share some ways of developing and protecting, deep in the center of our being, an unassailable haven of peace and safety where we are at one with the Creator who loves and sustains us.
That is what Springhaven Castle represents. In the center of the courtyard, where you are now, an everflowing spring sparkles in the sunlight, representing the Eternal Life brought by God's Holy Spirit.
