Just finished wring a piece that took up about a page. Lost it in the posting. Still not used to this blog stuff, so I think from now on will write my posts in Word, then copy and paste.

Safe. Legal. Rare.* « You Win Some, You Learn Some

From a pastor friend who pastors me with her words.

This is Eli

“What is grace” I asked God.

And She said,

“All that happens.”

arms

Existence is my arms,

though I well understand how one can turn

away from

me

until the heart has

wisdom.”

~ St. John of the Cross
