From Grave to Grace
To Gain A Heart Of Wisdom:
Ask God for it (James 1:5).
Today are the visiting hours for my boss. It still feels so surreal and unbelievable. Death is a wake up call, a reality check, and an awakening within. We are so curious, uncertain, and fearful of death.
It was just two years ago, that I was coming off life-support, dealing with brain-damage, and left emotionally and physically fragile. Being in ICU for two months was my "Auschwitz" - my death camp. Hearing the constant moaning and screaming of those agonizing around me, will forever be imprinted in my memory.
One of things I have learned, is that death is not painful. It is the body fighting to live that causes the pain. I learned to reconcile with death, at times it felt almost like a relief. Those responsibilities and things that I thought were important were mere folly. Death is a right-of-passage - it is our destiny - and the strange thing is the world keeps moving forward.
So, what am I saying? I am not sure myself! I guess it is my mind in a quandry of dispair over the death of my boss. I guess I am wanting to show the depth and complexity of my character. God saved my life, he gave me some hurdles that have been blessings, and he has placed me in his grace. And his grace is so sufficient!
I am more than just humor, I am about humility, humanity, and hope. I am imperfect, impossible, and inpatient. I am spiritual, senstive, and sentimental. God brought me to the "DS" and I hope he keeps me here a while...
God bless you all!

Loved it! I saw something on a church sign this afternoon it said:
"You are here for a purpose because you were made with purpose" And one other one I saw closer to home was..." friendship is joy brought to us as a gift from God" I thank God for his gift of you. b
