The Lord has blessed me with a little lake cottage on Walker Lake in La Joya, Texas. I was happy to have been able to spend time there with my dad and the rest of the family the last few days of his life. He passed away on February 11, 2005. Over the years, I've made many mistakes and bad choices. I have learned that "fearing" the Lord (I just learned that means "deep respect mixed with feelings of love and awe") and pleasing Him is all that really matters. I am convinced I don't really understand all His ways, or what He really expects of me, but I know He loves me and is always near and I intend to "work out (my) own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who worketh in (me) both to will and to do of His good pleasure." He is the reason I live and learn. "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity." ~ Albert Einstein |
