Your Dying Spouse 571 - Walking The Mystery

Why do bad things happen to good people? Uh, wait...I'm not that good, nor totally bad, and why is this happening to me?
The God I serve, His ways can be

both puzzling and remote.
No respecter of persons, He,
so I will not boast or gloat
of understanding given to
me of His majestic plan;
His influence flows right through
His word to this common man.
I would surely like to know
some answers, hard and fast,
but He’s above, and I’m below
living a mystery He has cast.
So I’ll walk on in hope and faith
and charity; my life is as He saith.


 Music from For King And Country, with Shoulders.


Thanks to Carol Ashby, Blessed Are The Pure Of Heart is back on Kindle, and will be available in paperback soon.

Friends are everything. I couldn't have done it.

      Jane, it is indeed well. I'm in really terrible pain, but I'm OK. I'm safe in His Hands.

      We're praying for you.

      Jan, I'm so grateful for this. Somehow, writing the path in verse seems to help cut to the core of the experience.

      The poems will be saved, and made available en bloc, in the hope that they might be of help to someone facing hard things.
