Grace Upon Amazing Grace. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. For the House in the Woods on Another Coast. A best friend resides on the opposite coast, in a house in the woods. We talk often, not often enough. Our conversations are lengthy, two, three hours. This last time I really think we set the record, over 3, possibly 4 hours. I hold her heart in these calls. I see through her eyes, at her surroundings, her circumstances. Detail oriented, s. Friends from high school and college, it's been a long journey together.

Grace Upon Amazing Grace. Saturday, May 3, 2014. SIXTY A Prayer for Birth Year '54. Prayer for Birth Year ‘54. Sixty, a new reality,. In lies a possibility,. I beg Your generosity. Sixty sing a melody. Hilarity, sensitivity;. Play a lifetime score. Sandwiched society, ‘tween. Adult kid and the elderly. Lettuce and tomatoey,. Crumbs on the floor. Sixty should be sanctity. Freedom and some liberty. But given our reality,. In all sincerity,. I am most decidedly,. Hanging onto sanity;. Do not slam the door!

Grace Upon Amazing Grace. Tuesday, November 26, 2013. Shoosh, Shoosh, down the hill and over the moguls. We tried to go at least 3-4 times during the season. We owned our own equipment, so semi-seriously we took on the sport. I loved skating as a kid, so skiing felt like something I might be OK at. Yep, just OK. Only one time I made it to a run I had no business being on. Definitely a. Gone are the days of outrigger racing. My only athletic requirement? Ted, on the other hand, practiced 3 nights a week, ...

Grace Upon Amazing Grace. Monday, April 29, 2013. Listen to these words mom, Tim said. He's a Christian, I can hear it in his lyrics.". I questioned his interpretation, until I gave a listen. Tim knew I paid attention to the lyrics. When he received a Green Day CD, I took it back to the store, after hearing some very disturbing lyrics. He never fought me on that decision, which made me happy. Anxious for me to listen to the words, the Creed song Higher. With all his giftedness, Stapp became very sucessfu...

Grace Upon Amazing Grace. Monday, January 19, 2015. George Banks and all he stands for will be saved. Maybe not in life, but in imagination. Because that's what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again.". You'll really like this movie Ted, it is a good story, a back-story of a childhood favorite- Mary Poppins! Who said 'Mary Poppins' was my favorite, I don't think so! I'm more of a Davy Crockett sort of guy! It's hard for Ted to go to Disneyland; th...

Grace Upon Amazing Grace. Wednesday, September 11, 2013. Two projectiles, piercing humanity, striking out at God. Flesh torn, metal exploding and fire blood drips down,. Pooling at ground zero. Saturating the world at its center. Terror crowns the Glory and evil dips his wings in compliance. And blood streams down again,. Through the heart of the matter. Nerve endings absorb the impact of the weight of it all. Hallowed Ground opens up. It is finished. Forsaken. Pounded down past the crust of regret.

Grace Upon Amazing Grace. Friday, May 17, 2013. We only moved a mile away from a place of great sadness to a new home, a place where we hoped healing lived as well. Four months previous, our oldest son went home to Heaven after succumbing to a chronic kidney and lung condition. Forced to pack up Tim’s things a little earlier than I was ready for, the boxes remained closed; memories tucked away and out of sight. I pondered the additional pain of the sights and the sounds. All the time I talked to God.

Grace Upon Amazing Grace. Wednesday, December 24, 2014. Adapted and sung to the chorus of "Carol of the Bells"). Hark, got a text. Friend request is next. Gain back the ten. I am now old. So I am told. One “seems” to hear. I won’t despair. Ding dong, Ding-dong. Knees are a pain. Hips feel the rain. Not o’er the hill. Should make a will. Words of good cheer. A Savior is here. Merry Merry Merry Christmas. Merry Merry Merry Christmas. On, on I’ll write. My words of praise. Not just a phase. Hark, how I pray.

On Turning 35 | Candle in the Window
https://lerskin.wordpress.com/2014/02/08/on-turning-35
Candle in the Window. Salt and Light in Kosova. Asymp; 8 Comments. Here is where it all began. Celebrating a birthday in Prishtina Kosova. Well, it happens every year. I had a birthday this week and for those of you wondering, it did rain in Southern California on my birthday – it does every year, it’s a tradition – but it was actually pretty warm here. I thought it might snow to celebrate my day, but it didn’t. This is me at about 7 with my siblings. Sorry about the poodle hair, Rhonda. 8220;For women o...
