A poem for while you're away...

I'm not a big poetry fan but Steve Stockman's poems have always soothed, challenged, enhanced my soul, my thinking..
This poem has helped at this difficult time it acknowledge the grief in the humaness of our struggle with faith when it doesn't make sense.... But it's the only hope we have.

this is where we are...

Listening to...
Black Star Rider - All Hell Breaks Loose
Sugar & the Hi Low
Various Snow Patrol & Van Morrison

Reading...
Choosing To See - Mary Beth Chapman
There Are No Strong People - Jeff Lucas

Most  people reading this, I guess, know our story, just about 4 months ago our beautiful 20 year old daughter Amy went to be with Jesus. To some that maybe a bold statement, but to be honest, I 100% believe it, I believe she made that choice, I believe that's what she was created for to worship at the feet of Jesus and I believe I'll join her one day. It's the amazing hope we have this separation is just temporal....

This journey, this road our family has been chosen to travel is certainly difficult most definitely not of our choosing but it's where we are...  and it's from that perspective I write.


I've always been someone who's had an interest in blogging I've post a few on here... Mostly about music (I'm a fan) while on holiday recently I thought I like to share a bit of my story about what going on with me on this journey....


There are 2 things I'd like to write about first...probably 2 separate blogs...

One is about brokenness (when I'm broken)  and one is about the support of friends (a break in the clouds)

Hopefully get them up soon....
