the silence

i haven't written much over the past few days. i've been going through a betrayal (not regarding my wife, Darlene, just to be clear:-)) My mind and emotions have been devestated by it. God's teaching me agape and it's been a painful lesson. Love doesn't prove its true mettle in traquility. the nature of it is borne out of betrayal, tribulation and pain.

In the tears you gave to me I found a river to an ocean
A concrete sky and a stone cold sea
That came to where the emptiness cracked open. And all my fears came crashing through
And met the fire of my sorrow
But I found my strength in forgiving you
I never even dreamed how far my heart could go.

Deeper Still

Praying for you my dear friend...

Thanks Emory. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving time.

Betrayal; so hard to walk through. Comforting to know that we can know that we can though by the example of Christ. Frankly, I don't think I could forgive in the midst of the storm that rages, but I am ever so gently reminded that I can do all things through Christ, who did, who does, and will continue to do so. I am praying for abundant peace in your troubled heart, words that speak truth in love, and a fresh energy to face tomorrow with all that is within you to bless His name in all that you do and say.

When you're up to it, I have a message from Jeanette Clift George. And an update on where I am in writing these days.

Nothing is too difficult for Him. Invite Him into the midst of where you are.

thanks for the encouragement Wanda. Life does have a tendency to go on doesn't it. Just when you think you want to stop the world, you notive that there's a blinding light appearing in the east:-) Morning has a certain consistency doesn't it. I've felt the prayers coming in from the lone star state.

I'll give you a call next week to talk about JCG.

Blessings,
