Welcome to my Blog!

Here you will find short snippets of thoughts and my mental processing as I transition into the Latter Convergence Stage of life. My journey through life is not unique, yet it is mine, it has value, as does yours.

Some of these posts may be deep, or amusing, or may not pertain to you and your journey. I pray some do, and that something I say helps someone else along their way.

Thank you for reading!

“The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears this say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

...God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can. And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God.
