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.
This afternoon, Elaine told me that during the last two years she has had a stroke and a heart attack. We had been talking about my experiences with the Spirit and Granny's illness. I had also told her what has been going on with my eyes. She said that she has been blessed this weekend because she has few living friends who believe in the Spirit. I think that the Lord is about to call Elaine home and that one reason I was here at this time is to minister peace to her. We both noted that this is the first time we have talked about faith and God.
Three years ago, I wondered what Elaine would want me to finish that she had begun. I know now. I must continue in the faith, not quenching the Spirit, but daring to trust what God says�-even if it seems foolish.
At the end of our conversation, I asked Elaine to tell me if she was sick so that I could come and be with her. She said she almost did the last time, but she was afraid that I would be afraid. "I will need you," she said. "I will need your hand in mine."
