That Where I am….
Hello glorious family! When I was young, I thought that when I died, I would go to a great mansion in the sky. It would be my very own mansion with lots of rooms, and probably an in-ground pool, and a giant backyard full of trees, and all the other amenities that I could want. …
For the Joy…..
For many years, all my life really, when I’ve heard the term, “the Joy of the Lord”, for example: “The joy of the Lord is my strength.”, I’ve thought of it as the joy the Lord gives me. I experience joy in knowing Him, being loved by Him. The joy of having the Lord in…
Your Song
Hello glorious and beautiful family! I was talking to a very dear fellow-traveler this morning about the nitty gritty. The stuff we deal with in the day to day. The topic of differences came up.

What about sin? (More talk of zombies)
My beautiful, beloved family, So….What about sin? This has been on my mind a lot. I lie about sin. I try to hide it. I sweep it under the rug. I excuse it. I justify it. (I’m only human. It’s not gonna hurt anyone. That jerk deserved it. I was tired. Anyone else would have…
Algebra or whatever…..
Hello Beloved, The line keeps coming into my mind: “We take God out of the equation.” I have had situations in my life that have seemed overwhelming. Relationships. Work. Physical ailments. Mental ailments. Profound loss. I know some of you have been through similar and even worse. They were like dark parts of the…
Seeing Jesus
This email is about Jesus. Things have been changing, in me. My sight is changing. When I was little, I had an idea of Jesus. He was the One in the pictures, holding the lamb, talking to the little children. Then when I turned 8, I repented of my sins and asked Jesus to come…
