A Life That Touched Mine


Click, Click.
Clank, Clank (tapping on the monitor).
Is this thing on? Hello, is anyone there?

Oh! Hi. It's been awhile, since I've been here.

I have thought about this place over and over. But my time at the computer has been short and sweet lately. I had a "sports injury" this summer and pulled a muscle in my butt region, that irritated my sciatic nerve, and sitting hasn't been the most comfortable thing. I can sit for awhile and then it all flairs up again.

I have had topics fly in and out of my head. Actually I wrote a very deep piece about the algae in my pool. I will post it later when I get it polished.

Today, it is windy and raining. Not just outside, but in my heart as well. My very dear friend is most likely going to loose her Mom today. She has been ill in the hospital for over a week and has been on life support. I haven't been able to speak with my friend, but today was suppose to be the day they take her off life support. How do you deal with something like that?

Her Mom was part of our neighborhood Bible study that the Lord allowed me to lead and teach. I love to teach, because I learn so much. My friends Mom came faithfully and shocked me that she wanted to hear a woman, younger than her, teach the Bible. She taught me that physical age and spiritual age are different. She had suffered a stroke years before and walked with a cane, walked slowly, and was very quiet. Here stroke took away from her life physical strength, but left her with a hunger for God (the type of thing that matters most in this life). Bad things that happen to us can actually leave us with more good than the bad it left us with.

Each person that comes in and out of our life has the potential to give us a piece of wisdom that will help us take the next step or have a greater understanding of something. Thank you Sharon for being apart of my life and being the Mother of my very special. Her life has touched mine in ways she may never know.

Sharon will be with Jesus, most likely, by the time you read this. Praise God, one of His own is with him in the presence of His glory!
