Laying It Down

There they were as I opened the gate, the click of the latch seemed to alert the two sentinels or maybe they were more like two grand-meres or grandfathers waiting for their errant grand-daughter.

Wrote this a while ago and forgot to publish but the Lord works to perform His wonders and this turns out to be a most appropriate time!  Please enjoy

It is the time of year to give thanks to fallen heroes of war.  I thank-you for my freedom.

This song has been playing in my brain for two  (2) days!  I am not in love, have no one to love but the song just keeps on coming back!

This blog is about my life and how I see the world on a daily basis.  It is not meant to be philosophical or even intellectual in its writings.  It is simply a place for me to leave my writings; to have conversation with  those who may wish to read it, so not all of which I write may be pleasing.  Often the writings are not pleasing to me but I have given myself permission to write them.  As I consistently observe there is always something beautiful, even in the bitterest of situations and if nothing else, I hope my writings convey that thought.    I wrote the article below near mid-October on a day when the world was closing in on me.  It is unedited. You may be pleased to know that I have found a job!  It is a six (6) months position in my area of current study.  I'M EXCITED!  Still treading water but EXCITED! _____________________________________________________

I am always in wonder at the fact that while you are going through troubles, life is tooling along, neither looking left nor right!
