On that day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see you face to face
There surrounded by Your grace!
All my fears swept away
In the light of Your embrace
Where all Your love is all I need
And forever I am free!
Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presense healed and whole
Let the songs of Heaven rise to You alone!
No weeping.
No hurt or pain.
No suffering.
You hold me now, You hold me now!
No Darkness.
No sick or lame.
No hiding.
You hold me now, You hold me now!
In this life I will stand
Through my joy and my pain
Knowing there's a greater day
There's a hope that never fails!
Where Your name is lifted high
And forever praises rise
For the Glory of Your name
I'm believing for that day!
Where the wars and violence cease,
All creation lives in peace,
Let the songs of Heaven rise to You alone!!
For eternity,
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your name! -
The real reason I haven't been blogging
The time of sorrow has begun.
Now that's perhaps a bit melodramatic but unfortunately nearly true. Sorrow really began in January. It's lain hidden, simmering since the barebones declaration of "There's nothing to be done" was coldly pronounced.
Nothing.
No surgery... no chemo... no radiation... No new untested wonder drug... Even the drugs designed to make him "comfortable" would only make him more uncomfortable. Absolutely, one hundred percent untreatable.
But he was game. He tried them anyways.
The last two months have been a whirlwind of activity. Plans. So many plans. I don't know how he remained so calm. Yet he always had time for a friend and their problems. He continued to prepare us for this time of sorrow. Always helping us, his family and friends, to live with the after death time.
In the meantime he pursued his bucket list... not a frantic whirlwind of activities... but a short carefully selected series of dreams. He went deep sea diving in Aruba, took flying lessons, restored the relationship with his dad, and finally went sky diving on July 18th.
He passed serenely from this life into eternity on Saturday evening.
I wish I could write more. But it's too soon for me.

Has it really been so long?
I finally have been able to get back to this blog and suprise, surprise.... It's been since September since I have posted. Sorry 'bout that.
All I can ask that you pray for the situations that have kept me away from my computer and other activties for such and extended period of time.
Hopefully, I will be able to return with "real" posts soon.
Till then, take care, keep safe, and rest in the Peace of God.

It's been a hectic summer.
It has been a hectic summer for me as I am sure it has been for everyone else, too. Almost no time at all to sit back quietly and think and definately little or no time to blog. Things should lighten up by the end of August once the kids are back in school and everyone's schedules settle back into the regular daily grind.
Summer's in the Northeast USA are short, very short. Last weekend we were camping about 20 minutes from home and already the early mornings and later evenings are so cool that you can see your breath when you speak.
Soon we will be heading into Fall, my personal favorite time of year. I hope all have had wonderful if busy summer interludes too. I'll be back with my thoughts soon. Take care everyone and check in when you can and let me know what you've been "up to". lol.
Blessings to you and yours in the the name of Christ our Lord and Savior.
