Where to start - where to start - where to start?
Do I tell about the absolute devastation of the break up of my second sons marriage? Or about the calm that Christ continues to drip into my mind to calm me?
Do I tell of the shock of Mikes death? Or do I talk of the anonymously sent flowers that totally blew me away with their message; " . . . you are truly loved."
Do I tell of the empty gut, hollowed out pain of these two life changing events happening in 2 days or do I tell of the amazing sound of Jaci's timid voice . . .("Hi. It's me.") not sure about talking to me but calling anyway?
Do I tell of the trip to and from *** (not heaven) - 60 hours behind the wheel while my sisters slept or do I tell about the glory of the Mojave`, the beauty of a desert sky . . . the feel of the hand of faith never leaving?
Do I tell about Jarred's face or about how he finally came home, for real - - the son I used to know?
Do I tell of the lowest lows, the highest of highs, the certainty of the love of a Man who will never ever leave me to face the rotten parts of this world alone or about the love of the Man who will always make sure I see Him in the very air that swirls around me?
What a ride.

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
—Edward Mote (1797-1874)
You ARE truly loved.
As much as you would like to never relive these past few days, I am so glad you can find the "bright side" to focus on!! You keep me balanced!! Hang in there, my friend -
