Thank you so much for you openness in this blog; it's a real gift. It's a part of your ministry, and I appreciate it immensely. <br /><br />I forget who wrote that what God wants from each of us is to be truly ourselves, and this is exactly what you are doing, and doing so beautifully.<br /><br />With much love and a big hug,<br />Mary BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14755785.post-91303229098349853272010-08-15T23:28:43.847-07:002010-08-15T23:28:43.847-07:00Your writing is so transcendent that sometimes it&...Your writing is so transcendent that sometimes it's a shock to remember that this is all real. At the same time, your writing is so real that God's transcendent grace comes as the shock just as often. <br /><br />When you talk about the process, what comes to mind -- and where this came from, I don't know -- is how our dog would navigate the river when we'd have family picnics out at the Pilchuck when I was a kid. I loved to watch how she would jump into the rushing water and start swimming at an angle, against the stream somewhat, so that the current combined with her trajectory would land her on the other side right where we were setting up our blankets and coolers. <br /><br />This isn't about a tightrope, I don't think, so much as trying to aim for something at the same time that you're in the midst of something beyond your control. Absolutely you should jump in. Why wouldn't you? Nothing is certain for any of us, and you obviously have ministry deep in you. <br /><br />I love you terribly. Enjoy your time at the ranch.<br /><br />(((you)))katnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14755785.post-78825425301623687292010-08-15T22:40:47.471-07:002010-08-15T22:40:47.471-07:00Love you...Love you...Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267544451078638468noreply@blogger.com
