“Eventually all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s Great Flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of those rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by the waters.” Norman Maclean
Cutting through the raging waters, waiting for the perfect time,
Stealing comfort where we find it, carving out a place sublime,
When upon a deep division, faltering we flail and drown,
When we have a firm foundation, we will surely come around,
Sailing through the roughest waters, leaving caution to the wind,
Caring not for intervention, even when our hearts have sinned,
United we can have it all, when we split we surely fall,
We must learn to live together, listening to the Savior’s call,
Don’t let go of His great wisdom, Never falter from the Word,
God will captain your adventure, all your armor He will gird.
Life’s too short to drift and flounder, we can do this if we try,
When we place our faith in Jesus, He will lift us up to fly.
As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension.
I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog.
I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ.
My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.
A much treasured post! Kathy, your verses carry me through the passage of (Paul’s reverent) river. As Norman Maclean states, we are haunted with our memories. I’ve read his book as well as viewed the film. If my memory serves me well, he only wrote two books. The other tells the story behind the Mann Gulch fire in Montana.

I'm a retiree in his seventies. That may not be significant to many, since there is a bunch of us Baby Boomers around. However, in the year 2,000, when I received a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, I expected to be dead in three to five years.
