Hello, Sunshine! Goodbye, Snow.........

I never have liked snow - not even as a child when the neighborhood youths would gather at the top of our pastureland, build bonfires, and ride to the bottom of the hill on whatever they could use as a makeshift sled.  I'm content - even happy, maybe ecstatic - to gaze through my window at the beauty of nature's white landscape while I'm staying warm and dry.  My friends and family in Virginia are reporting 12 - 20 inches of snowfall and I might add I'm really, really happy not to be snowed in atop the Bedford mountains.

I'm making progress, albeit slow progress, putting together my next book - This, Too Shall Pass.  I'm finding it difficult to stay with converting the old typewritten pages into the document I will upload to Amazon.  Sometimes I can't remember what motivated some of the pieces, and sometimes I'm on the verge of depression, but I'm going to carry on with the process because I believe there's a purpose in this book.  People are suffering today - trying to cope with the problems I faced...that I was delivered from.  Hopefully, they'll be able to see their deliverance and just hang on by whatever means they can find until it comes.

Here's an excerpt from some of the material.

I walked the shadows of darkest night, looking neither left nor right; Seeing only straight ahead. Too soon to probe the past now dead.Crouched in the shadows, the formless shape of Failure looms with bitter taste.Helpless to cast a ray of light to bring the shadows into light.Only time can ease the pain and bring my soul to peace again.

To God be the Glory!  I am a survivor.
