getting to forgiveness...

writing memoirs

is not

an easy task...

.

...the timing for one

needs to be just right

over the years

i've been approached to write a book

on more than one occasion

on a variety of subjects

but mostly about

sarah and our life experiences with her

i was never attracted to

the idea

for one

i never had the time

more importantly

who wants to read about me

i wondered

i also have read a lot of

mediocre books

i've never been one to settle

for just average

so that scared me

away

i also found memoirs in book form

 to be so finite

then i found blogging

it seemed the perfect fit

each day or so

i could write a post

help sarah write one too

and the next day move on

to a new topic

then a series of events happened

it started with water dripping

from the family room ceiling

followed by a couple

near death experiences

 in the middle of roads

followed by angels

lots and lots of them

so the book idea

surfaced again

this time it felt spiritual

in a good kind of way

so i sat down

 and started typing

i recently finished chapter twelve

it started out as retelling

 a story

yet somehow it has

evolved into something

much greater

healing

of my soul

through others

and in the process

helping others

get to forgiveness

realizing the importance

of that word

it should eventually get to chapter

nineteen or twenty

not yet though

life still is unfolding

i am still learning

and

some of the main characters

are still in dress rehearsal
