When you find yourself in sudden danger,
Is there a loud rushing sound in your ears?
Could it be the sound of wings?
Does your chest feel so tight
That it's hard to breathe,
As though you were caught
In a supernaturally strong embrace?

Do you ask for protection every day
So it's there when you have no time to pray?

(sigh) Oh, I understand how you feel, I feel that we all have a tendency to turn away from our Lord and desire protection in our privacy, but then later we realize every spur of the moment that He will offer us guidance! (kiss on cheek) Soooooo powerfully expressed, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Nancy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Nan darling girl Oh my I knew you were good, but I never knew you were this good. Do you know how good this really is? Not just the sentiments although they are excellent. I mean the construction the flow the internal rhythm this is utterly stunning.

I’m not often presented with such delight, I’ve seen wonder and been astounded by it before, this however is utterly utterly fantastic.

You’ve surpassed yourself here. You’re always a good writer, in this you’re a great writer

Do I love this? What do you think? …………. YES I love it

Absolutely first class writing



Love and warm stuff
As always

Pilgrimage, thanks for your beautiful reminder.

I pray for three things: 1. To know God's Will in my life, 2. To be given the strength to accomplish His Will, and 3. To be shielded from the enemy as I walk and try to do His Will.

Dear Noah,
Thank you for your loving reply. We do forget sometimes.

Dear Marsha,
Now, now. If I ever wrote something really good you'd have nothing left to say, would you? I just got to wondering about the way I've felt the few times I've been really terrified in my life, and if there could be some explanation other than the usual. I wondered if you'd thought about it too.

Dear Newell,
From your reply it's obvious you're a better Christian than I am. But I do try, when I think of it. And sometimes I think of it.

Dear Nate,
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it- and especially glad you took the time to reply.

Tight moment in time piece.  Adrenaline does not lend itself to prayer ... at least not until later and you're right .... better to cover that at the beginning of the day.

never try to teach a pig to sing
it wastes your time AND annoys the pig
