About Me

What oxygen is to the lung, such is hope for the meaning of life.” [Emil Brunner]It has been and always will be my desire to share a word of hope in a world that is filled with despair. However, it is important for us to remember that “hope” often leads us to reach for change, and to many, changeful experience lead the anxious person to enquire “Why is it thus with me?” I looked for light, but lo, darkness came, for peace, but behold trouble.“I said in my heart, my mountain standeth firm, I shall never be moved!” Lord, thou dost hide Thy face, and I am troubled. It was but yesterday that I could read my title clear; to-day my evidences are bedimmed, and my hopes are clouded. Yesterday I could climb to Pisgah’s top, and view the landscape o’er, and rejoice with confidence in my future inheritance; to-day, my spirit has no hopes, but many fears; no joys, but much distress.Is that part of God’s plan for us? Can this be the way in which God would bring us to heaven? Yes, it is even so. The eclipse of our faith, the darkness of our mind, the fainting of our hopes, all these things are but parts of God’s method of making us ripe for the great inheritance upon which we shall soon enter.These trials are for the testing and strengthening of our faith – they are waves that wash us further upon the rock – they are winds which waft our ships the more swiftly towards the desired haven. By honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report, by plenty and poverty, by joy and by distress, by persecution and by peace, by all these things is the life of our souls maintained., and each of these are we helped on our way.Oh, think not, believers, that our sorrows are out of God’s plan; they are necessary parts of it. We must through much tribulation, enter the kingdom. Learn, then, even to “count it all joy when ye fall into diver’s temptations!Sheriff Ali

My Interests

Love reading; write Poetry; write selected articles and very interested in the world's political climate.

I'd like to meet:

People in all "walks" of life, but especially people who are selfless in their words, deeds and actions. I am not certain as to how it reflects that "I don't want children," that came up automatically and I haven't been able to change it. I do have two adult children that is the pride and joy of my life.( They were born in Los Angeles, California and they live there) It is just that I would not make a calculated decision to have any more children, but I do love children with all my heart.

Music:

All types!

Movies:

Romance, History, Dramas, Comedy and some documentary.

Not very much, but I do look at world news.
