Ponderings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798891300101)

The main purpose of these writings is to give glory to God. In reading these reflections, it is my hope that the reader will experience the beauty and uplifting quality that thoughts and words have in aiding to produce a more meaningful, purpose-filled life. Perhaps this compilation of writings will enhance the reader's desire to seek a God of love, mercy, and goodness. In addition, to look at the journey through life in a more positive way and accept the daily challenges, joys, sorrows, and successes as part of a nurturing or growing process. Most of these writings are centered on a belief in a creator, others are ideas that intrigued me, and some just on musings about my various experiences and observations over the course of my life. I hope the reader will find these pieces easy to understand and inspiring to the heart. In conclusion, with deep gratitude and continued trust in God, I offer you, the reader, these writings.

The picture on the cover is based on the following poem, which was written during a retreat:

Beyond the blue horizon,

further than the depths of the ocean floor,

a vast expanse of grace beckons the soul to

come and explore

into the realms of majesty,

into the recesses of mystery,

being with the Source of all reality

with God amidst eternity.
