About Keb Burns
Keb Burns is a Texas author, artist, and gardener who uses her pen and brush to call attention to God’s presence in ordinary life. Her work invites the observer away from the grey chaos of the world into the green glen of contemplation. Drawing on 40 years’ experience teaching religion and a career in commercial art and landscape design, she strives to make difficult concepts easy to understand, and invisible realities almost visible. She finds her deepest joy in nature, where the filmy veil that cloaks the face of the Creator is the thinnest. Her next book, Treasures of Grace: The Gift of Peace for Troubled Times, co-authored with Kira Marie McCullough, will be published in October 2024 by Wordcraft Press. It will be available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Fair Wind, Sailing West is also a prayer group. If you subscribe, we ask that you pray for the spiritual and temporal needs of all the other subscribers, who will likewise pray for you. The more people who subscribe, the more people you will have praying for you.
There is no obligation to pray in a particular way or a certain number of times or on certain days. As a spiritual advisor once told me, “Pray as you can, not as you can’t.” Whatever way is best for you. I do ask that you include these intentions for all of us:
That God will place a dome of protection over each of us, over our homes, our loved ones, and our possessions, to shield us against all spiritual and temporal harm.
That God will grant us the grace to know and understand him better and love him and others more each day.
God will give us all the grace of unquenchable hope, fearless peace of heart, and true wisdom, no matter what happens to us in life, or how rocky our road may become.
That God will give us all the grace to meet someday in Heaven, together with our loved ones.
