Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.
If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.
Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.
My grandmother called earlier and gave me the surprise of my life! "Guess who was at church today," she said.
I had no idea. I thought she was going to say someone like Randy Tate or some other person who never comes, or maybe someone was visiting from out of town.
"Kevin."
What in the world? I thought. How? Well, as it turned out, his dad was able to get him out on bond. All he has to do now is to get through the trial. "I know the Lord can work miracles," his dad told Gramps. I think it's neat that this has allowed his dad to develop and express his faith in God.
I just talked to Kevin. This will make my phone bill one of the highest I have ever had, but the call was well worth the money. He has been writing poems. His poetry is very thoughtful and well-written. He recited one of his shorter poems to me, "Justice." I realized that he has probably felt unworthy of God's love. He knows that only God could deliver him from our society's cruel eagerness to deal out "justice" in its anger.
