A few minutes of thanks…..for flying high!!!!
Yesterday I flew from Seattle to Phoenix and then from Phoenix to Louisville, and then drove the two and half hours home. Translation, a lot of time to think!!! I can’t be home with my beautiful bride, remembering my great time in Mt Rainier, the great honor of teaching with Jack, the pleasure of knowing and working with a guy like Jim Begley. To live everyday enjoying the craft I enjoy so much, and not reflect on, why me???!!!
I have long since stopped wondering if somehow I deserve my great blessings! Gave up on that one a long time ago! A life well lived can probably be because a person has lived in a way that leads to it, but not a life as good as mine! It won’t surprise you with what I came up with. My life is completely undeserved. Grace is unmerited blessings. When I gave my life to Jesus, I not only received forgiveness but also it started a journey with Him that has blessed every area of my life!
So why am I sharing this with you? Well, if you are already standing where I’m standing you’re shaking your head in agreement, on the off chance that you’re not, food for thought.
Blessings,
the pilgrim

I believe that I am standing there with you. If by some chance I’m not quite there yet, then I am certainly a “Work In Progress” and will keep trying to get there as quickly as I can.
It only requires one step, surrender! I’m sure you’ve made that step!!!
Amen!
Your are 100% right – I was shaking my head up and down – we are truly blessed to have lived the life we have lived my friend. Love you man – you are an inspiration to me.
